What to do if the Phalaenopsis leaves are cracked

Cracking performance

The specific manifestation of Phalaenopsis leaf cracking is that there are cracks in the middle veins of the leaves, and severe cracks will extend to the tip of the leaf.

Causes of cracking

The cracking of Phalaenopsis leaves is basically due to the influence of overly dry weather, especially in the north where there is less precipitation.

Cracking treatment

Case 1

If the Phalaenopsis is newly bought, the possibility of cracking is relatively large. This is because if it was previously cultivated in an environment with suitable temperature and the growth environment is suddenly changed, it is inevitable that the rapidly developing tender leaves will receive more or less damage. If the leaves are accidentally bent, they will crack to varying degrees. However, in this case, after the Phalaenopsis slowly adapts to the new growth environment, the leaves will be able to heal on their own.

Case 2

If the cracking of the leaves is not optimistic and cannot be healed by its own growth ability, you can take measures to spray water on the leaves, or spray around the plant to increase the air humidity. However, be careful not to spray too much water, otherwise it will increase the incidence of diseases such as soft rot or blight, which will not be worth the loss.
