What happened to the orchids at home recently? The leaves are falling one after another, which is really heartbreaking! Don't worry, let me give you advice and help you save these beautiful "emeralds". Analysis of the reasons for orchid leaves falling.
First of all, we need to understand the reason why orchid leaves fall. Generally speaking, there are the following points: 1. Improper watering: Orchids like a humid environment, but too much watering can cause root rot, which in turn affects the health of the leaves.
2. Insufficient light: Orchids need proper amount of light. If they are left in the dark for a long time, their leaves will turn yellow-green or even fall off.
3. Uncomfortable temperature: Orchids are sensitive to temperature. Too high or too low temperature can cause damage to the leaves.
4. Pest and insect pests: Orchids are susceptible to pests and diseases, such as leaf spot disease, scale insects, etc., which can cause leaves to fall off.
5. Improper fertilization: Excessive fertilization or uneven fertilization can cause problems with orchid leaves. Remedy measures after orchid leaves fall

You can gently touch the soil with your fingers, and if it feels dry, you can water it. When watering, water as thoroughly as possible, but avoid splashing water on the leaves.
2. Increase light: Move orchids to areas with sufficient light, but avoid direct sunlight. If there is insufficient light at home, consider using plant growth lights.
3. Temperature control: Place orchids in a place with a suitable temperature, generally keeping them at 15-25℃. Pay attention to ventilation in summer and keep warm in winter.
4. Prevention and control of pests and diseases: Inspect orchids regularly, and treat them in a timely manner once pests and diseases are discovered. Insecticides or fungicides can be used, but be careful not to spray them on the leaves.
5. Reasonable fertilization: Orchids do not have a high demand for fertilizer, so compound fertilizer can be applied once a month. When fertilizing, sprinkle evenly on the soil surface to avoid direct contact with the roots. Tips for maintaining orchid leaves after falling
