What to do if orchid leaves turn yellow

1. Increase the temperature

Reason: The environment with too low temperature makes it difficult for orchids to grow, resulting in yellowing leaves.

Solution: Place the plant in a bright and ventilated place, in an environment of 18-23℃, and keep it at 5-10℃ in winter.

2. Proper shade

Reason: Orchids grow vigorously in sunlight, but cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow.

Solution: At noon, place the plant away from strong light such as windowsills; at other times, place it in a warm and bright place to ensure a certain amount of light exposure.

3. Dry the soil

Reason: Orchids are suitable for growing in relatively dry soil. If the soil in the pot is too wet for a long time, the leaves will turn yellow.

Solution: Do not water too frequently, water thoroughly at one time; wait until the soil is no longer moist before watering again, and place the plant in a ventilated and dry place.

4. Choose decomposed fertilizer

Reason: Unfermented cake fertilizer or pure phosphorus fertilizer was added during fertilization, causing the leaves to turn yellow.

Solution: Choose well-rotted fertilizer to prevent "over-fertilization" from burning the roots of plants.
