There are many reasons why Cymbidium goeringii leaves turn yellow: if it is due to overwatering, then reduce watering appropriately and maintain air humidity; if it is due to frequent heavy fertilizing, then reduce fertilizing appropriately; if it is caused by frequent direct sun exposure, then move it to another position or shade it to care for it; if there are pests or diseases, then spray medicine promptly.

1. Water appropriately:

Cause: If the potting soil of Cymbidium goeringii is too dry or has too much standing water, the leaves will turn yellow.

Solution: Water according to the dryness of the soil, keeping it moist; also pay attention to air humidity, and spray water frequently to maintain air humidity, which is also very helpful for its growth.

2. Reduce fertilizing:

Cause: If a large amount of fertilizer is often applied, or if the liquid fertilizer is not yet fully matured, it can easily cause its leaves to turn yellow.

Solution: When fertilizing, reduce it appropriately, and be sure not to over-fertilize; after fertilizing, water once the next day, so the fertilizer is diluted to a certain extent and the problem of fertilizer burn will not occur.

3. Reduce light exposure:

Cause: Cymbidium goeringii likes semi-shade, but many people always let Cymbidium goeringii be exposed to direct sunlight, which easily makes its leaves turn yellow.

Solution: In spring and winter it can be exposed to direct sunlight, but in summer be sure not to put it in the sun; just place it in a well-ventilated position.

4. Eliminate pests and diseases:

Cause: When Cymbidium goeringii encounters pests and diseases, its leaves will turn yellow; the main pests and diseases include leaf spot disease, anthracnose, etc.

Solution: When pests or diseases are found, determine which pest or disease it is, then choose to spray pesticide or use manual control to solve the situation.
