Unfortunately, even if you put&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>a lot of effort<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;into maintaining it, sometimes your plant becomes&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>dry<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and looks gray. Be careful, as it is likely that&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>your orchid is dying<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;at this time. What are the&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;indicators<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;that your plant is dead?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your orchid is dead: the concrete signs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To know if your orchid is healthy or not, first check&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>the crown<\/strong>&nbsp;. Indeed, if this part of the plant which joins the leaves to its base becomes&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>brown<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and its appearance becomes&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>soft and soggy<\/strong>&nbsp;, this means that it is damaged. The other unmistakable indicator is obviously&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>the condition of<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;your plant&#8217;s leaves. When they&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>turn yellow<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and&nbsp; gradually&nbsp;<strong>fall<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, your orchid is definitely not in top shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, take a look at the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>roots<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;of your plant. If you notice that they are&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>brown<\/strong>&nbsp;in color , your orchid is dying. If the roots are 100% rotten, saving your&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mesrecettes.info\/sauver-une-orchidee-voici-les-etapes-a-privilegier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">orchid<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;will be mission impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Caring for an orchid: the right actions to adopt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your ornamental plant is dying, you can save it if you react in time. For this, what you should do is&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>put your orchid in a transparent pot<\/strong>&nbsp;. This is a great way to observe the condition of your&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mesrecettes.info\/feuilles-de-laurier-une-fabuleuse-plante-qui-fait-des-miracles-a-la-maison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">plant<\/a>&nbsp;&#8216;s roots&nbsp;&nbsp;. When the roots develop well and are green in color, you can be happy because your orchid is&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>healthy<\/strong>&nbsp;. On the other hand, if they are&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>grayish<\/strong>&nbsp;, they need water. If their color is&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>brown<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;but soft, know that the&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mesrecettes.info\/les-bons-gestes-a-adopter-quand-les-racines-dune-orchidee-debordent-du-pot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">roots<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;are rotting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also necessary to keep a&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>moist substrate<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;without leaving&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>water stagnant<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;at the bottom of the dish. Also, if you find&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>burn spots<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;or blisters appearing on your orchid&#8217;s leaves, this means that they cannot tolerate the sun. To do this, it is best to&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>place your plant in a place sheltered from direct sunlight<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Orchids are&nbsp;&nbsp;fragile plants&nbsp;&nbsp;that require a lot of maintenance and attention.
