Yellow Roots on Orchids: Cut Off, Nurture, or Ignore them?


When you start repotting for the first time, you can come across roots in several conditions: crackly brown, deathly yellow and pale, plump and green, or slimy black. Yellow roots are on that borderline decision: what are they? How did the orchid roots get this yellow color? And more importantly, what to do with them.

Yellow roots on orchids are not a sign they are sick. The yellow tinge indicates a lack of chlorophyll in the orchid roots since they haven’t had access to sunlight. Most likely, these yellow roots are in the middle of the vase, and not on the outside of the clear plastic pots, where luscious green roots prevail. The pale yellow doesn’t indicate a sign of decomposition and should not be cut off.

Repotting can be quite nerve-wracking experience. After all, orchids are known to be troublesome and panicky, prone to die from anything.

But don’t fret, because that’s not true.

As long as you have the right information, orchids have proven to forgive a lot of mistakes.The first mistake is cutting off all the yellow roots. In this video, I'll explain how I decide whether to cut of the yellow roots or whether to leave them alone.

This YouTube Channel is the by-product of extensive research on how to recreate that environment inside my home.

By no means do I consider myself an expert but I'm an avid learner and willing to share the little I know with others. There are thousands of different ways to care for orchids, and the more we share, the more we learn.

What started out as a hobby has now grown into a passion, producing an online resource of quality information on how to connect with nature.
