Recently, many flower friends sent photos to Xiao Qi, saying that all the leaves of his crab claw orchid have dried up. What should I do if the leaves of crab claw orchid are dry and withered this season? In fact, if it is not very serious, its leaves can be restored as long as the method is correct. As long as the leaves are restored, they can sprout and bloom normally.
We have to check it first. If its leaves just wither, not yellow and completely dry, it can still be treated. 1 What we need to do in this step is to pinch its leaves, pinch off some severely withered leaves at the top, and only keep a few leaves at the bottom, so that there are fewer leaves left after the leaves are pinched off, which will slow down the growth of the seedlings and restore the leaves faster in the later stage, and then we can change the pots in the second step.
We'd better remove all its soil, expose its roots and see if there are any new roots. If the leaves wither, most of them have no new roots. We will directly take them out of the soil, cut off their dry roots, and then put them in a place with good astigmatism and ventilation to dry for an hour or two, and then mix some good soil to ensure that the soil has certain air permeability and water permeability.
After planting in this way, put it in a place with good astigmatism and ventilation, wait for 1~2 days, and then water it when the soil is dry. When watering, you should add two things, one is rooting liquid, which can promote it to grow roots, and the other is carbendazim, which can prevent fungi in the soil and prevent it from rotting, as long as the soil is wet.
But this is a long process, which may take half a month or a month. Don't worry, just ensure ventilation, see some light properly and keep the soil moist. No fertilization, no exposure. When it recovers, we can gradually increase the light and add some fertilizer when watering, so it can be absorbed quickly and grow new leaves soon. It's easy to make it blossom. When the leaves are full, let them grow leaves directly for a while, and then supplement him with high phosphate fertilizer. Phosphorus content is high, and other elements are not lacking. Under the condition of short sunshine and sufficient fertilizer, flower buds can grow quickly.
The reason why the leaves of crab claw orchid wither is that its root system has problems in summer. Maybe you watered it too much, and its roots were rotten, but you didn't notice it. Maybe you haven't been watering it all the time, and its roots can't get water. If the weather is dry, the leaves will become thinner and thinner. As long as new roots grow, according to the operation of qi, the probability of recovery is very high.
