[HIGHLIGHTS] Orchid has yellow leaves - why is it and what can you do?

Incorrect care is the most common cause of yellow leaves on orchids. In most cases, the plant can still be saved with the following measures.

If the yellow leaves show a large brown or even black spot, sometimes on the edges of the leaves, it could be sunburn. Orchids need a balanced amount of water and enough humidity. Root rot occurs when the roots of the orchid remain moist for too long due to too frequent or excessive watering and waterlogging. A room temperature of 15 to 25 degrees Celsius and high humidity between 50 and 80 percent are ideal.
