🍂 Yellow Leaves

Yellow leaves aren’t always a reason to panic, and can be a normal part of a plant’s life cycle. Unless brand new leaves are turning yellow or all the leaves change color at once, it’s likely just your plant shedding old leaves.

Overwatering and root rot are the most likely cause of problems in Andrews Clintonia, since they are sensitive to wet soil. The leaves may also appear to be curling or drooping. Less often, yellow leaves are caused by underwatering, nutrient deficiencies, or pests.

Replace soggy soil with fresh, dry soil and download Greg to make sure your plant never gets overwatered again!

When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.

Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.

Ensure the plant is getting the right amount of light, as too much or too little can stress it.

Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.

I just cannot keep orchid flowers on the plant!! I try every single time to water it just enough. I’ve tried soaking once a week, ice cubes, exact amount watering…. Nothing saves the blooms. Within a month it is leaves and sticks.. I’ve tried Miracle Grow fertilizer posts, sprays and water soluble powder, nope not happening. This spring new leaves started to grow, but no shoots for flowers. It’s frustrating to not be able to enjoy the beauty of this plant for more than a few weeks.
