So, what is up with all the different marks that we find on our orchid leaves? When is the right time to cut a leaf? A valued subscriber posed the question and in this video, I go over the different scenarios that we can be confronted with when dealing with healthy orchids. Some blemishes are naturally occurring, a part of the growth habit or a sign of how much or how little light the orchid receives. I hope that you will find the information in this video useful, as you compare any suspicious marks on your leaves. If one of the examples was not covered in depth, please let me know in the comments below and I will be happy to elaborate! Thank you so very much for watching!
