Why are orchid leaves cracking?

When people are caring for orchids, it is easy for the leaves to crack due to careless handling. In addition to being damaged by rain, it can also be damaged by animals, blown directly by strong winds, and cracked if it rains too hard. Therefore, it is necessary to manage it carefully in normal times.

2. Insect Infestation

When the plant is attacked by scale insects, cracks will appear on the leaves, and the cracks are usually located at the midrib of the leaf, and the cracks occur longitudinally. You should buy professional insecticide as soon as possible and pay attention to ventilation when growing orchids.

3. Fertilizer damage

If you give it too much fertilizer during cultivation, the leaves will grow very fast, but if it lacks nutrition, the orchid leaves may crack. Also, applying fertilizer on its leaves can also cause cracks. The correct and reasonable fertilization method should be mastered to prevent this situation from happening again.

4. Diseases

When orchids are infected with pathogens, some spots will appear on the leaves in the early stages of the disease. If not treated immediately, the tissue inside the leaves will die and cracks will form. If this happens, medication should be taken as soon as possible.
