Improper watering and fertilization, and unsuitable environment will cause the leaves to become soft. Too much water in the basin will cause roots to rot and leaves to soften and fall; water shortage will make leaves dry and wilt. Excessive fertilization and excessive fertility will lead to root burning. Crab claw orchid needs to be maintained in a well ventilated environment, receiving bright scattered light. Watering should be done thoroughly; fertilization should be done frequently with thin fertilizer.

What's the matter?

1. If too much water is not given in daily water supply, there will be water at the bottom of the basin, and the root system will be damaged after a long time, so the leaves of the plant will be lack of vitality without nutrition. If you give less is the same reason, the plant can not keep the leaves strong due to water shortage, it will become soft

2. If the fertilizer is applied unevenly, it may hurt the root of the plant, thus affecting the growth and development of the plant.

3. The sun is particularly strong in summer. If it is exposed to the sun, the leaf tissue of the plant will be sunburned, so it will become soft.

4. It is also very important to protect the environment. If it is especially stuffy and the temperature is very high, the life activity of the plant will become slow under the high temperature, so the development will be slow.

What to do?

1. We need to put it in a place with good air circulation, suitable temperature and humidity. In the process of maintenance, we need to pay attention to the water supply only to ensure that the basin soil is wet.

2. Fertilize evenly and finally give some water to help dissolve. In summer, pay attention to cover the plant slightly from the sun.
