Any gardener subconsciously thinks that yellowing leaves cannot indicate anything good.
Therefore, it is necessary to immediately establish the correct cause.
In the case of orchids, some reasons may be completely natural and not cause for concern, reassures the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
What could they consist of?
It's just a natural process.
If we are talking about the bottom leaf, then its color change is normal. In this case, the leaf may still look somewhat "crumpled".
This happens due to age.
Bloom
During the flowering period, the orchid spends its supply of nutrients on its flowers. Therefore, the leaves may simply lack nutrition. If you have not added nutrients for a long time, then it is time to correct the situation.
Diseases and pests
If other symptoms (spots, damage) appear in addition to yellowing, then we are talking about diseases and insects. In this case, correct treatment will help.
Rot
This is probably the most dangerous scenario. The orchid needs to be examined carefully. If you notice that the root system has begun to rot, then it's time to start treating it.
As a rule, all damaged parts are removed, the plant is treated and replanted. There is always a chance to save the orchid.
