What causes orchid leaves to turn yellow? How to save them

1. Environmental inadaptability

Cause: If the orchid is newly bought, it will not adapt to the living environment when it is planted, which will affect the plant's absorption of nutrients and the leaves will naturally turn yellow.

Solution: Don’t worry too much when you encounter this situation. Just maintain it normally and wait until the plant adapts.

2. Improper lighting

Cause: If some plants grow normally but the leaves turn yellow, it usually means that the light is too strong. If the plant stays in a particularly dark environment for a long time, its growth will become very weak.

Solution: Provide correct light exposure, and provide timely shading in summer to prevent the light from being too strong and burning the leaves. In autumn and winter, you can increase the light appropriately.

3. Improper watering

Cause: During cultivation, too much water is poured, causing water to accumulate inside the plant, which remains very wet for a long time. The newly grown young leaves will turn dark yellow. If the necessary water is not supplied for a long time, the plants will turn yellow.

Solution: Water the plant promptly and correctly according to its daily needs.
