Tips
An orchid leaf turns yellow when it is about to make room for young shoots and leaves. If there is a lack of space and energy to take care of old and young leaves, an orchid will always choose the next generation and pull in the old leaf. So keep an eye out for a child near yellow leaves in order to use the offspring for vegetative reproduction.
