For orchid growers, the season they worry about most is summer, because summer temperatures are very high and orchids are prone to disease, so orchid growers in summer (above 30°C) pay close attention to certain details to grow orchids well. So under what conditions do orchids tend to rot? Below are some of the causes of orchid rot:
1. Poor ventilation: if the air where the orchids are kept does not circulate, it becomes stuffy and hot, making rot likely.
2. Organic fertilizer not cleaned away thoroughly, causing the fertilizer concentration in the pot to be too high, making rot likely.
3. Watering orchids under strong direct sun makes rot likely.
4. If buds are bitten and injured by insects and not treated in time, rot is likely.
5. Diseased seedlings and weak seedlings rot easily.
As for planting orchids a bit deep or watering a bit too often, these are not the root causes of orchid rot; on the contrary, if you let them dry out too much and then water, they rot very easily!
There are also some hormone-treated plants, plants forced with heavy water and heavy fertilizer; even if you pay attention, they still rot easily, so just don't touch this kind of plant!
