What to do if Phalaenopsis orchid leaves fall off

one. reason

1. Too much water. Although the aerial roots of this plant have a very strong absorption ability and can absorb water, oxygen, etc., if too much water is poured on it, it will easily make it difficult for the roots to breathe, leading to suffocation and root rot. Therefore, if this kind of plant is to be watered, it should be irrigated with water with relatively fine pores when the soil is visibly dry to our naked eyes.

2. The disease is caused by worms. The plant is susceptible to soft rot, scale insects, anthracnose, and more. These diseases and pests can easily cause its leaves to fall off.

two. Improper water treatment

1 Once the leaves start to fall off, do not water it within half a month, and then irrigate it using the immersion method after half a month.

2 That is to say, we can prepare a larger container, fill it with water, and then place the flowerpot with the plant in the container filled with water. The horizontal plane should preferably reach two-thirds of the flowerpot, so that the water can seep into the flowerpot little by little. When the water in the flowerpot can make the surface of the soil moist, we are done. But how do you find out? You can touch the soil with your hand and feel it is moist.

3 After that, we should use this method to irrigate it once every ten days. When using this method twice, you can add a little more water. For the third time, the amount of water added should be the same as the second time.

three. How to deal with diseased worms

1 You can prescribe the right medicine for the disease. If you can find a diseased plant, you must immediately find out the source of the infection, pick off the diseased leaves, and it is best to isolate them to prevent the disease or pests from spreading to healthy areas.

2 Spray it with the right medicine to kill insects effectively.
