What should I do if the leaves of Phalaenopsis orchid become wrinkled and soft, or if they all fall off?

1. What to do if it becomes soft

1. Cut it off naturally: If the bottom leaves become wrinkled and soft, there is no need to worry too much. It is just a normal growth and metabolism phenomenon. You just need to cut the leaves off, but be careful to be gentle and not to damage the roots.

2. Replace the potting soil: Poor root air permeability is also one of the reasons. You can replace the potting soil with loam with better air permeability. You can add coarse sand to the garden soil to increase air permeability. You should also loosen the soil frequently to keep it active so that the roots can better fit the soil.

3. Strengthen ventilation: If plants grow in a hot and stuffy environment for a long time, there will be problems with their growth. The plant can be placed in a well-ventilated place, but it should not be exposed to cold wind.

2. What to do if all are lost

1. Adjust the temperature: Changes in temperature will affect the leaves of the plant. If the surrounding growth temperature is too low or too high, the leaves will fall off. You can adjust the temperature and maintain it at around 20 degrees so that the plants can gradually recover on their own.

2. Adjust the light: It likes a semi-shaded environment. If it is exposed to the sun for a long time, the leaves may fall off. You can adjust the light and place it in a place with better light.
