The orchid I just bought has yellow roots, what's going on?

Generally, the young roots of an orchid are white, with the swollen, semi-transparent tips called "crystal heads." The old roots of an orchid vary slightly depending on the potting medium, and are generally light yellow or light brown, etc. After being washed and dried, most orchid roots appear white.

As the saying goes, haste makes waste, and growing orchids is the same - it is not the work of a single day or night. It takes two years for an orchid leaf to grow from the emergence of the shoot to full growth, so orchids grow quite slowly, and the shoot period of each type of orchid is basically fixed. If you want your orchid to bloom, the most important thing is to grow it strong.

So how exactly should orchids be grown to grow and bloom normally? First, a suitable temperature - 15-25°C is the best temperature for orchid growth; if it is too low or too high, the orchid will enter dormancy. Proper light is also needed. As the saying goes, all things grow relying on the sun. Without light and kept in shade for a long time, wanting your orchid to bloom will be a distant hope. But in summer you must provide shade to prevent sunburn on the leaves.

Watering is a key skill in growing orchids. As the saying goes, understanding orchid growing takes a moment, but mastering watering takes three years of practice - and that is exactly right. Many people who fail at growing orchids go wrong with watering. Everyone knows orchids like moisture but fear waterlogging, so just keep the potting medium moist; don't get itchy hands and water her at every turn.

Next is ventilation. Orchids must be placed in a ventilated spot. If you don't pay attention to ventilation when growing orchids, diseases or plant collapse can easily occur, and in serious cases they are prone to the two rot diseases, and the whole pot of orchids is done for.

So don't be eager for quick success when growing orchids; treat her with an ordinary heart and enjoy the pleasure of growing orchids. When the orchid blooms, the sense of accomplishment is absolutely amazing.
