Orchid Troubles? Common Issues and How to Fix Them

If your orchid is experiencing problems, it's important to identify and address the issue quickly to give the plant the best chance of recovery. 

Environmental problems are often the culprit behind issues like bud blast, where buds dry up and die prematurely, or color changes in the foliage

Bud blast is typically caused by insufficient humidity or light, while yellowing leaves can indicate overwatering or root rot.

Adjusting lighting, humidity, and watering practices can help resolve these problems

Pests like mealybugs, scale insects, spider mites, and thrips can also plague orchids, leaving behind sticky residue or webbing.

Treating with insecticidal soap or neem oil can eliminate infestations. Fungal diseases like leaf spots and blights, as well as bacterial rots, are common in humid conditions. 

Catching issues early and providing ideal growing conditions are key to maintaining healthy, blooming orchids long-term.
