What to do if the white orchid leaves turn yellow in winter

The reason why white orchid leaves turn yellow

In winter, white jasmine sometimes turns watery yellow. In winter, when white jasmine is first brought indoors, the breathing activity of its leaves is still relatively strong. If watering is not timely and the soil in the pot is dry, the roots and leaves will wither. After the winter solstice, white jasmine begins to dormant and watering should be reduced. Excessive watering will cause the leaves to turn yellow or even fall off.

The other factors are light and temperature. In winter, there is insufficient light and the temperature is too low. If this condition persists for a long time, the white jasmine will not be able to photosynthesize well, which will cause the leaves to turn yellow.

Attention should also be paid to fertilization in winter. Generally, there is no need to fertilize white jasmine after it is brought indoors in winter, because the plant is dormant and fertilizing may cause its roots to rot and its leaves to turn yellow.

What to do if the leaves of white orchid turn yellow in winter

Before bringing white jasmine indoors in winter, it needs to be pruned in advance to cut off the dead and diseased branches on the plant to prevent it from withering or even getting diseases and insect pests.

When growing it indoors, the following conditions generally need to be met: place the white jasmine in a sunny place indoors, and increase the temperature to protect its root system so that it can resume growth in the spring. At the same time, you need to stop fertilizing and do not water too much. Keep the soil in the pot dry so that the plant can safely survive the winter.

If you lack good maintenance conditions when growing white jasmine at home, you can use a relatively simple method to ensure it survives the winter safely. The method is to cover the white orchid with a plastic bag and tie it up, then place the flowerpot in a sunny place, which can also keep the flower warm and moisturized, which is beneficial for the white orchid to survive the winter.
