She was so beautiful this orchid and now her leaves are softening, turning yellow and then falling. Why? Because the conditions of its good cultivation have certainly not been respected. Indeed, while most orchids tend to drop their leaves as they produce new shoots; the fall of the leaves is sometimes due to negligence in terms of care of our favorite plant. So before starting the rescue work, it is important to identify the possible reasons that caused the leaves of your orchid to drop.
First the natural reason! When one or more new leaves appear in the spring, the plant often loses a corresponding number of old leaves. However, it may turn out that a lack or too much light, air that is too dry or conversely too cool, an infestation of parasites, a chronic lack of water or, on the contrary, massive watering, rotten roots... these are all quick factors to accelerate the aging of your orchid. Discover in our slideshow all the solutions to remedy this and thereby restore your orchid to its full splendour.
