# I don’t know what’s going on with my orchid! It started turning…

_Publié par Ivy le 2024-12-26_

I don’t know what’s going on with my orchid! It started turning yellow after it dropped its flowers. I was planning on repotting it as it’s still in a nursing pot, could it be that it’s yellowing because of that? Or something else?

Orchid stems don’t live forever- just the lifespan of the flowers. You can cut the stems to the base and the plant will grow new ones the next flowering season

Omg thank you! I’ve never had an orchid, and although researching, it seems like I didn’t do enough. 😅

There’s an orchid group on here too that’s very helpful to me!

This is normal. If you can get some kekei paste quickly, you may be able to coax it into cloning itself with a dab on a healthy inflorescence bud.
