The other is that too much water causes the rotten roots of Huwei orchid. The third is that the temperature is too low. The fourth is the bacterial soft rot. no matter which cause, the first symptom is that the leaves of Huwei orchid become soft. The reasons for the softer leaves are as follows: 1. Light: the plant is relatively shade resistant, which can be cultured under the astigmatism, or in the place where the light is not very strong, if the sun is exposed to the sun, there will be sunburn, the leaves will be softer and so on.
2. Watering: the root system is underdeveloped, and watering too frequently is easy to cause the root system to lack oxygen, rot roots, and then cause the leaves to become soft.
3. Temperature: tiger skin orchid likes warm environment. When the temperature is too low, tiger skin orchid will grow.

When new plants sprout at the root neck in spring, more watering should be done properly to keep the basin soil moist. In rainy season, never let the basin water. At ordinary times, clean water can be used to scrub the dust on the blade surface to keep the blade clean and bright. Generally speaking, if the soil is loose, it should be watered twice a week; in winter, when it is cold, it only needs to be watered once.
3. Temperature: the requirement of temperature is quite high. The suitable growth temperature is 20-30 ℃, and the growth stops when it is lower than 13 ℃. The lowest temperature in winter should not be lower than 10 ℃, otherwise the base of the plant will rot, causing the whole plant to die.
4. Bacterial soft rot: after being damaged, the leaves are light yellow green or grayish yellow, and the stems on the ground appear water stained soft rot spots, which are easy to break. When watering, it is necessary to avoid splashing on the leaves. In case of defective leaves, they shall be removed and destroyed in time.
