Aerangis citrata has yellow leaves and buds
Help! I have a Aerangis citrata in spike and bud and the leaves are turning yellow, and the buds are slowly yellowing also ....
Humidity levels are in the 70-80% range, and the plant is mounted on Cork. Does anyone know what is causing this ....? |
I'm new-ish to angracoids, so don't know if I can be of much help.
How are the roots? I only just got this orchid a few weeks ago, but from what I read it it's a low light grower, maybe it's getting way too much light? In any case, if you can post a pic, that would probably help a lot. |
I absolutely agree with Camile - I would suspect roots. Buds turning yellow is probably bud blast and annoying, but nothing too concerning. Leaves turning yellow, on the other hand, is a bad sign. When did you get this plant, light levels, temperatures, and how often do you water? Pictures would definitely be helpful

Re: Aerangis citrata ....
I just got this plant this week on Wednesday ...... the yellowing leaves are the (2) oldest leaves. The plant is mounted and has a Southeast exposure - Temps are 60s-70s - Humidity is high (2 humidifiers in growing area).
growing on inside window-well ..... |

Re: Aerangis citrata.....
Hey Calvin ---
It has a total of 6 leaves..... I can give it air, and humidity, but not alot of Warmth right now .... I'm in the Northeast and it is COLD here... so the room temps are 64-70 at best. I do keep humidifiers running at night for added humidity but that may be the problem .....HIGH humidity and LOW temps ..... Thanks for your recommendations ...... Patrick |
