What if the leaf tip of the orchid is yellow and wilted? In this way, the four seasons are green.

Cymbidium is a kind of green plant which is very suitable for breeding indoors. If it is properly maintained and grows luxuriantly all the year round, it can also blossom, and then grow a lot of young seedlings with air roots, which is very beautiful.

The breeding of hanging orchids is estimated that many novices will find such a problem, that is, the problem of leaf tip drying will appear for no reason. In fact, this situation is the problem caused by our improper cover, which is often caused by improper watering. Today, Hua'ergu will introduce to you the reason why the leaf tips of Cymbidium are yellow and withered and how to deal with them.

Everyone should be able to imagine that once the leaf tip of the orchid is irreversible, we can only strengthen conservation to avoid similar problems in more leaves, so what are the specific reasons that will lead to the drying of the leaf tip? Let's explain it in detail below.

1. Improper watering

Improper watering can be divided into excessive watering and too little watering, in which excessive watering will cause the root system of Cymbidium to lack of oxygen and cause black rot, which will lead to leaf tip dryness, on the contrary, lack of water is the most common cause of leaf tip drying. In the long-term drought, the orchid will begin to dry up from the leaf tip, if the water can not be replenished in time, the latter part of the leaves will gradually turn yellow and slowly turn black and dry. Therefore, when we breed hanging orchids, it is best to water them in time in accordance with the principle of seeing dry and wet.

2. Excessive illumination

The best provincial environment for the orchid is a semi-overcast environment. Raising the orchid in a place with direct sunlight can easily cause the leaf tip to dry up. Especially when there is strong light in summer, the leaf tip is most likely to dry up. Therefore, when breeding Cymbidium, it is best to put it in a semi-shady environment to ensure sufficient scattered light to meet its best growth state. It is best to keep the sun out of the sun when there is strong light in the balcony to prevent the leaves from being burned.

3. Air drying

If the air is too dry, the leaf tip of the orchid will wither, the water in the dry environment is insufficient, and the transpiration of the leaf is also very strong. At this time, the excessive transpiration of water will lead to the withering of the leaf tip. Therefore, when the air is dry, we'd better spray it to moisturize and replenish water in time. Otherwise, drying for a long time will cause the leaves to dry up.

4. Excessive fertilization

The requirement of fertilizer for the cultivation of Cymbidium is not high, a basin of fertile soil can meet its growth for a long period of time, change the soil once a year, and do not need too much fertilizer. However, if our hanging orchid is relatively thin, we need to replenish some nutrients artificially, at this time, we must not apply too much fertilizer at one time, the concentration of fertilizer liquid is too high, it is easy to burn roots and dry leaves. Therefore, according to the principle of frequent application of thin fertilizer is the best way of fertilization.

These are the common reasons and treatment techniques for the withered leaf tips of Cymbidium introduced to you by Hua'ergu. Generally speaking, as long as we pay attention to the four reasons mentioned above, the leaves of Cymbidium will not become withered. However, some diseases and insect pests can also cause the leaves of Cymbidium to dry up, but such a problem is quite rare!
