orchid leaves fell off
The leaves of my orchid (Phalaenopsis) is falling of a leaf per day. What should I do?

If the leaves turn yellow, then you are an excess of water. If this is the case, may be too late to save the plant, but you can try to let the plant dry. These plants need to really dry between irrigation – you can tell if the water needs by the weight of the pot – heavy-bottomed pan, light and airy wet and dry pan. In nature, orchids Many live in tree trunks with their roots exposed. They get their water from the atmosphere of the jungle in this environment. It, therefore, the risk is completely alien to these plants. They love humidity around the plant, but not always in the boat. If you are lack of water, I think the leaves turn brown and dry before falling, so I suspect excess water is the culprit.
