The flowering period of Phalaenopsis can last for several months, and it can even span the entire winter. Therefore, it has become the "most affectionate companion" in the hearts of flower lovers. However, although its flowering period is long, it is not easy to cultivate it well and make it bloom beautifully. Especially for busy urban people, what should be paid attention to in the daily maintenance of Phalaenopsis?
During the process of cultivating Phalaenopsis, have you ever encountered such a situation? For example, before the newly grown leaves are fully unfolded, new leaves can't wait to emerge. Looking at these relatively small leaves, you may wonder why such small leaves are in such a hurry to grow new leaves.
In fact, this phenomenon is not rare, and there may be several possibilities behind it. One of the possibilities is that the roots are damaged, which is commonly known as "root decline". For example, excessive watering may lead to root rot, or it may be affected by poor soil air permeability. In this case, new leaves may germinate in advance, but the old leaves appear thin and small due to insufficient nutrients.
Another possibility is that the environmental change is too great. Generally, before being bought from a flower shop, the Phalaenopsis is mostly cultivated in a greenhouse. At this time, in an ordinary family, it is mostly placed on the balcony for maintenance. Therefore, there must be a temperature difference. At this time, the growth of new leaves may be temporarily stagnated, and then after a long time, the next leaf will emerge.
Secondly, it may be a normal growth phenomenon. Affected by different varieties, some individual Phalaenopsis may also have this eager situation, and both new and old leaves will continue to grow together. In addition, it is also possible that the plant has mutated. This situation is often found, and in a similar situation, it is recommended to take no action. Finally, it may also be that the pot has been changed, or the plant is affected by the new environment. It is a common reaction that the new leaves become smaller or grow slowly. Next, as long as it is properly maintained, this situation can be avoided.
According to the analysis, usually the most likely situation is the last one. So there is no need to worry when encountering this problem. As long as you pay attention to controlling the watering, providing appropriate light and nutrients, your plant will quickly regain its vitality, and the new leaves will gradually grow larger!
