So I have this orchid and as I was watering her today, I noticed the tips of some of her roots were pink. Is that normal 😑 or should I be concerned 😧? Please let me know, thank you ☺️

Don’t worry about the orchid roots, it’s perfectly normal for orchids to develop pink or magenta roots because of the coloration of the flower and because of genetic inheritance one of my orchids have pink roots and they’re 2 years strong

Sounds great! Thank you so much for the advice 😊✨

I’ve been told they change colors when they’re too exposed to sunlight.

Thank you I will move them somewhere else it is less bright.

You might want to slice some air holes into the sides of that pot tho, so roots can breathe a bit more.

Thank you I will definitely do that (that's probably why none of my orchids are doing that well lol)
