The reason for the orchid burn tip is more concerned with moisture, temperature, nutrients and environment. If water or nutrients are deficient, we need to give orchids water fertilization timely, for its water and nutrients. If the temperature is too low, we need to adjust the temperature for orchids. If the environment is not appropriate, we need to replace the appropriate growth environment for orchids. The following are details of orchid caring tips for leaf tips burn. 

The focal point of orchid refers to the gradual blackening of the leaf tip, which will become dry and dry in the later period. Orchids are wet-loving plants that thrive in cool, moist, well-ventilated environments.

Orchids like a cool climate environment, suitable for the growth of the temperature between 15 ~ 25 degrees, winter temperature of more than 5 degrees. During its growth, if the temperature of the environment is too low, the tip of the orchid will also become burnt. If the temperature is too low, it is necessary to adjust the temperature in time. Move the orchids to a warm and ventilated environment for curing.

Orchids need nutrients during growth, especially before flowering, and adequate nutrients are conducive to the growth of flowers and leaves. During the growing period, orchids lack nutrients and the flowers will not open, the leaves will be pointed and withered. If nutrients are deficient, we need to fertilize orchids in time, for its fertilizer supplement, later maintenance needs to stop fertilizing times.
