Orchid leaves turn yellow

Periodically, growers notice yellowed leaves on an orchid. This may be due to the renewal of leaflets, which is a natural process. Old leaves turn yellow and wither, they are located mainly at the base of the flower. Fully dried leaves should be carefully removed. But what to do if very young leaves turn yellow? In this case, it is most likely a disease associated with improper irrigation.

Excessive dryness of the soil can also lead to yellowing of leaves as a result of drying. Also, if the room humidity is too low, and the foliage is not sprayed in time from the sprayer, this can also lead to negative consequences.

Another factor that can affect the yellowing of foliage is excessive drafts and cold, perhaps your flower just freezes on the window. The direct rays of the sun are also contraindicated for orchids; they can leave burns on the leaves in the form of yellow spots. You see, one problem, but how many reasons and nuances. Proper care for an orchid at home, in the first place, includes the proper watering of the plant.

Problems with orchid roots

Problems with the orchid root system are unfortunately not uncommon for a florist. Improper watering can lead to darkening of the roots, the formation of plaque and slippery film on them.

Another common problem when a favorite plant does not give the owner a beautiful flowering.

With this specific care, the budding should take place within 4-6 weeks.

Diseases and pests

As we noted above, the most common cause of the disease is improper watering or spraying. In this case, the affected areas can be formed on the roots or foliage, which should be removed with a sharp knife with a portion of healthy tissue, and the cut with a special antibacterial agent. With the defeat of the root system, it is imperative to replace the substrate and boil the pot.
