8. Lack of Air Circulation
The Problem
Orchids thrive in environments with good air circulation. Stagnant air can lead to issues like mold growth and root rot.
Signs of Poor Air Circulation
- Mold or mildew on the potting medium
- Leaf spots or rot
- Slow growth
Solutions
- Improve Airflow: Place your orchid in a location where it can receive gentle airflow, like near a fan or an open window.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Ensure your orchids are not packed too closely together, allowing for better air circulation.
