What should I do if the leaves of my dragon beard orchid are drying up? Five steps to get it done!

Reasons for leaf drying

The main reason for the drying of dragon beard orchid leaves: water quality problems

Generally, we use tap water that we drink in daily life to water the plants, but if tap water is used for too long, it will cause too much salt and minerals to accumulate in the flowerpots, which will turn the growing soil of the plants into saline-alkali soil and the leaves will easily dry up.

Solution to dryness

1. If conditions permit, it is recommended to use purified water to water the plants. If you continue to water the plants with tap water, you should clean the pots at a fixed time.

2. Water the plants in moderation each time, not too much. Excessive watering can easily cause plant disease or root rot.

3. When the weather is too dry, you can use a watering can to spray water on the plants to alleviate the dryness of the air.

4. In winter, ensure that the temperature in the environment where the plants are located is above 5 degrees.

5. If most of the leaves have dried up and you still want to save it, you need to check the root rot condition. If the soil on the surface of the flowerpot has cracked, it is not recommended to rescue it and there is no need to grow it anymore. But you can try the following method, which may be able to rescue it successfully. Cut off all the dry branches and leaves above, remove the rotten parts below, and observe the cross-section. If there is still black and yellowing, continue to cut upwards until the black and yellowing phenomena are completely gone. Put the remaining part into pure water and wait until it takes root before potting it.
