But that&#8217;s not the only reason. In addition to this, however, orchids are plants that can be affected by many diseases. Therefore, knowing what&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>orchid diseases<\/strong>&nbsp;are &nbsp;is crucial for their correct development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like the vast majority of plants,&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>orchid diseases have very specific manifestations in the plant<\/strong>&nbsp;. Despite everything, they are delicate plants that can take time to recover from any ailment or illness. So let&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;s see what is the most common orchid disease<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;that we should be aware of. And most importantly, how to care for it to continue having a&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>strong and healthy plant.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Orchid, attacked by root rot: if you do it, it will come back strong and healthy<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/essermamma.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/orchidea-radici-marce-come-salvarla.jpg\" alt=\"Rotten roots of orchids\" class=\"wp-image-6867\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most important aspects when it comes to&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;orchid diseases<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;is that they can be caused by the way we grow them.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Caring for orchids<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;involves a humid environment necessary for the prosperity of these wonderful plants. However, it is precisely the humidity that&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>causes a good number of diseases<\/strong>&nbsp;that afflict them. The key is balance, that is, being able to give our plant what it needs but, always, with caution to avoid collateral damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite being tropical plants, orchids&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>do not need high temperatures<\/strong>&nbsp;. Additionally, exposing them to moisture creates ideal conditions for disease development. Poor root aeration or even&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>poor watering can also cause plant diseases.&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;In this article we will see&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;what to do if our orchid shows signs of root rot.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rotten roots, one of the most common orchid diseases, here&#8217;s what you should do!<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/essermamma.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/radici-marce-orchidea.jpg\" alt=\"Orchid root rot\" class=\"wp-image-6868\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s start with what is, perhaps, the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>main cause of death of these plants<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Root rot<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;is one of the most common orchid diseases, and in most cases it is&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>caused by poor watering.<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;And we are not only referring to the amount of water, but also to the tool used to water them or even to have a plate under the pot with water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rotten roots<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;are roots affected by fungus. They manifest themselves in a way that is visually easy to identify. Their main characteristic is that&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>they acquire a brown tone and lose texture<\/strong>&nbsp;. In this case it is important to act as soon as possible. This disease is very serious and&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>it is not always possible to save the plant.&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Fungi produce spores that travel from plant to plant, so&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>it is essential to isolate the diseased plant if you have others in your home.<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;It usually occurs because the&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;plant receives too much water<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;or because the substrate&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>does not have good drainage.<\/strong>&nbsp;To prevent its spread, we must:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Remove rotten roots<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0with previously disinfected and completely sterile scissors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the advance of the fungus is significant,\u00a0\u00a0<strong>apply a fungicide to the roots<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Transplant in a new substrate<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0and pot and with adequate aeration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stop watering momentarily<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0until the roots lose moisture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Their beauty is, a priori, the main reason why everyone likes these plants.
