Orchid Care Tips Blog

These are the categories and items to look out for with Orchid problems.

• Over watering - Too much watering can kill Orchid roots over time. More often people over water than under water. Too much watering is clearly seen with mushy liquid roots. Too little watering at the roots usually shows in crispy, brown, black, dried out roots.
• Too much light -Orchid leaves with too much light are often light green through yellow. Sometimes sunburn can be seen blistering the middle of leaves.
• Too little light - Orchid leaves will be dark green, plant probably has issues getting to blooming stage.
• Too much fertilizer - Orchids that have been fertilized too much often have fertilizer crystals in the media built up. Too much fertilizer used for Orchids can result in dropped blooms or wilting flowers.
• Flowers dropping - Bud blast can happen from temperatures too cold, too hot or pollution.

In coming months I will often be publishing this series of Top 100 Orchid Tips. Topics will range from broad to specific, on many topics all about Orchids.
