are the orchids turning yellow and the flowers slowly drying up? This is a sign that things are not going well with the plant. A common cause of this phenomenon is chlorosis. This is a popular disease that attacks orchids. Symptoms include slow growth, change in leaf color, wrinkling of flowers and poor flowering.
