How to deal with water ingress into the leaf core of Cymbidium orchid

What happens when water enters the leaf core of a cymbidium?

If water enters the leaf core and is not discharged for a long time, the plant will develop a disease - rot. Moreover, once the disease occurs, it is difficult to cure. Even if it is cured this year, it will occur again next year. Many friends have tried various methods, and some of them just threw them into the trash and bought new plants to grow.

Why does water ingress cause such serious rot?

I would like to correct something here for my friends. In fact, water entering the leaf core is not that serious. The reason why rot occurs is because the plant's own resistance is weak, and it becomes so serious only when water enters the leaf core. This symptom will not occur if the water is discharged within a short period of time.

You can use a clean cotton cloth to absorb the water, or gently shake the plant to allow the water to flow out. If the amount is small, you can put it in a place with good air circulation and the moisture will be dried.

How to prevent water from entering the leaf core

Many friends have this question: Some people spray water on Cymbidium orchids, and the water will enter the leaf core at this time, but no disease will be found. why is that? In fact, this is because its breeding environment is well chosen. This is also a way to deal with water ingress, which is to have good ventilation. If the ventilation is good, you don't have to worry about watering. If ventilation is poor, you should still pour it slowly along the edge of the pot.
