During the winter period, orchids often begin to die and wither without, at first glance, any apparent reason.
However, in reality, three unexpected factors, ignored even by experienced gardeners, lead to the wilting of a flower.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh explained why the orchid is prone to dying.
According to the expert, it is necessary to provide first aid to the plant as soon as possible.
Flower overflow
Pay attention to the orchid leaves. If they turn yellow, it means you are over-watering.
It is necessary to reduce the amount of water poured into the pot as quickly as possible.
Low humidity
It is worth carefully monitoring the climate in the room where the orchid is kept.
Otherwise, the flower will begin to shed its buds and then wither away completely.
Sunburn
Despite the fact that the orchid likes the sun, it will not survive direct exposure to sunlight.
For this reason, it is better to keep the flower in a place with bright indirect light. Do not remove the burnt leaves, let them fall off on their own.
