What to do if orchid leaves turn yellow

1. Prune yellow leaves

Reason: This situation results in a relatively small number of leaves, and they are all old leaves at the base. After the leaves turn yellow, they will quickly turn dry and white and fall off.

Solution: If it is caused by normal metabolism, no action is needed, just cut off the yellowed old leaves.

2. Adjust the watering frequency

Reason: The soil is too dry or too waterlogged during cultivation, which damages the root system of the plant and causes the leaves to turn yellow.

Solution: The frequency of watering should be adjusted in time, especially when sufficiently high humidity is required. Insufficient humidity will also cause abnormalities.

3. Change the fertilization method

Cause: Long-term lack of fertilizer, or application of a large amount of fertilizer in a relatively short period of time, and uncomposted fertilizer can also cause root burn and yellow leaves.

Solution: If there is a lack of fertilizer, you can change the soil and apply fertilizer. If the amount of fertilizer is too much, you can flush it with water, or change the soil to reduce the fertilizer content in the soil.

4. Reduce light

Reason: Strong sunlight causes leaf burns, which will cause the leaves to turn yellow.

Solution: You need to put it in a cool place, you can choose a shaded place under the shade of a tree, this can greatly improve the yellowing phenomenon.
