What to do if the orchid leaves become lighter in color

1. Increase fertilization

1. Reason: The orchid leaves may become lighter due to insufficient nutrients, and it cannot synthesize enough chlorophyll. As the amount of chlorophyll synthesized decreases, the color of the leaves will gradually become lighter. In severe cases, it may even turn yellow.

2. Treatment method: At this time, some flower fertilizer should be applied to the orchid plant. Compound fertilizers with high nitrogen content can be applied. When applying, please note that you need to dilute the fertilizer with water before each application to avoid burning the roots.

2. Increase watering

1. Reason: If you want the orchid to grow healthily, you need to provide it with an appropriate amount of water. If it is not watered for a long time and becomes dehydrated, its leaves may become lighter.

2. Treatment method: At this time, you can use a kettle to pour some clean water on it to provide moisture. After that, increase the frequency of watering appropriately to keep the planting material slightly moist. This way it will recover soon.

3. Proper pruning

1. Reason: The life cycle of orchid leaves is about two years. After its life cycle is over, it will gradually age and no longer synthesize new chlorophyll. At this time, its color will gradually become lighter.

2. Treatment method: For naturally aged leaves, no special treatment is required. But if you think it affects the appearance, you can directly cut it off with scissors.
