For those who appreciate exotic plants<\/strong> , there is nothing more magnificent than seeing orchids growing healthy. The most widespread variety is the Phalaenopsis orchid<\/strong> which offers beautifully colored butterfly-shaped flowers during the flowering period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, it is common to observe a rather strange phenomenon during the flowering<\/strong> of this plant, namely the change in color of the petals of its flowers<\/strong> . What are the causes of this phenomenon?<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the only reason why color change should not be of particular concern. Decay is a hypothesis linked to the normal aging of flowers<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Towards the end of flowering, when the flowers are about to fade or have already started to fade, its pigments can break down and the color begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may notice pink shades in the orchid’s white flowers or lighter traces in the purple flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the roots of your plant rot, very quick interventions<\/strong> are necessary to save your orchid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you notice that the flower petals are very dark or mottled, ranging from light to black, the cause may be root rot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, when they are exposed to too much water, the roots begin to rot and the leaves and flowers can turn black.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To do this, try repotting the plant in dry soil, so that it recovers quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the summer months, it is not uncommon for orchid flowers to turn orange or light brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is certainly not a natural metamorphosis, as the petals change consistency and become drier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is the direct rays of the sun that burn the flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To do this, you need to keep the plant in indirect sunlight. This prevents the leaves and flowers from burning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have you noticed a sort of white patina on the flowers<\/strong> of your orchids? It could be a disease or a parasite attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Powdery mildew is a fungal disease recognizable by its white coating. It generally covers the leaves or flowers. Not surprisingly, it is known as the white plant disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, it can also be myellated<\/strong> which is a white substance secreted by some parasites such as scale insects or aphids.
