1. Reduce watering

2. Replace flower pots

3. Turn the soil regularly

If it is caused by excessive watering, the water must be controlled in time and the accumulated water in the pot must be drained out as soon as possible. If the flowerpot is too small, you need to change it to a larger one as soon as possible. The depth of the pot should not be too deep. If the cultivation soil becomes compacted and airtight, repot the pot every one or two years.

1. Reduce watering

Reason: Tiger orchids are very afraid of waterlogging. Do not overwater. If you water it too much, the roots will rot and grow poorly, which will cause The plant does not grow or produce new shoots.

Solution: Watering should be carried out reasonably. When it is time to control water, pay attention to water control. If there is water in the basin, drain it as soon as possible. If the roots are rotten, the roots must be removed from the pot as soon as possible and repotted after drying.

2. Replace the flower pot

Reason: The diameter of the flowerpot used for cultivating tiger orchids should not be too small. If the pot is too small, it will hinder the growth of the roots of the plant, and the nutrients in the soil will not be supplied to the plant, and this bad behavior will occur.

Solution: Replace it with a larger flower pot. The diameter of the pot can be slightly larger, and the flower pot should not be too deep. A flower pot that is too deep is not conducive to the breathing and growth of the plant roots.

3. Regular soil plowing

Reason: The soil used for planting must have good air permeability. If the soil is not turned over for a long time, the soil will become hardened and airtight. Plants growing in such soil will not grow well and not only will they not grow. No new shoots have sprouted yet.

Solution: For smaller flower pots, it is recommended to repot them every year. For larger flower pots, it is recommended to repot them every two years. The soil should have good air permeability, so that the roots of the plants can breathe and grow well.
