What to do if the leaves of the dragon beard orchid turn yellow

1. Too little light

In fact, too little light will not only make the leaves turn yellow, but also make them thinner and more brittle, making them look lifeless. If there is not enough sunlight for a long time, it will easily grow too tall, become increasingly sparse, and the color of the leaves will become lighter and lighter.

Solution: Except at noon, it is best to place it in the sun at other times, because the sunlight at noon is too strong and it may not be able to bear it. However, if the plant grows too tall, you can do some proper pruning to concentrate the nutrients.

2. The temperature is too low

It is winter now, and the leaves of many friends' dragon beard orchids have turned yellow. A friend asked me yesterday: There is only one set of heating in my home, and the temperature can drop to 6 degrees at the lowest at night. Is this the reason why its leaves turned yellow? That’s right, low temperatures at the end of the year can easily cause its leaves to turn yellow.

Solution: Don’t move it directly to a very warm place at this time, but warm it up little by little. Otherwise, the plants will not be able to adapt to the rapid changes in the environment immediately and other problems will arise. By the way, this plant is suitable for surviving in temperatures above 20 degrees. The temperature must be controlled at least above 10 degrees in winter, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow in minutes.

3. Other reasons

The so-called other reasons include pests and diseases and the natural metabolism of plants.

Solution: The metabolism can be properly pruned and if it is sick it can be treated with special medicines.
