If the growth environment is not ventilated, increase ventilation appropriately. If it is caused by a large amount of water, the amount of water should be reduced and the basin soil should be watered after drying. If the amount of fertilizer application is too large, then reduce the amount of fertilizer application and apply thin fertilizer frequently.

Reason: Orchid growth needs sufficient light, if long-term lack of light will affect growth, but also affect photosynthesis, pot soil does not receive light, water will remain in the soil for a long time, roots can not breathe will appear rotten root phenomenon.

Solution: Increase the amount of light, give it about 4 hours of light a day, but do not accept sunlight exposure.
