Why do orchid leaves spiral? Can the curled leaves recover?

1. Causes of spiral distortion of blades

1. Influence of variety: The spiral twisting of orchid leaves may be due to the variety itself. The leaves of some varieties are in this state, such as Green Cloud, Green Gaihe and other varieties. This is genetic. In this case, there is no need to interfere, just try to appreciate the beauty.

2. Improper water supply: This problem may also occur when orchid leaves become dehydrated. If they are not watered for a long time, water cannot be supplied to the leaves, causing the plant to lack water and the leaves to gradually become spirally twisted. Excessive watering can also lead to dehydration, which can cause the roots to rot, making it difficult to transport water normally, and can also cause the leaves to become distorted due to lack of water. If this is the reason, you should pay attention to watering. If there is a water shortage, you should water it in time and replenish the water. Once the roots are rotten, you should remove the rotten roots to restore the water supply function of the plant.

3. Influence of diseases and pests: When orchids are infested with diseases and pests, they will absorb moisture from the leaves and cause the leaves to spirally twist. It is necessary to do a good job of prevention, provide a suitable growth environment, and spray pesticides in time when diseases and pests are discovered.

2. Will leaf curling recover?

If it is due to the variety, the curling of leaves cannot be restored. If it is due to incorrect maintenance methods, you can change the maintenance methods to promote leaf recovery.
