When I was watering one of my orchids this morning, I noticed the leaf was bunched together, like it had been twisted. It wasn’t flimsy or limp, but sturdy and otherwise healthy.

This curled orchid leaf was bothering me since I saw no exterior sign of pests or insects.

What are some of the culprits to curling and twisting of the orchid leaf?
The main reason orchid leaves curl is because the orchid leaf follows the light source when it grows. If the light source constantly changes, the orchid leaf will curl and twist, turning toward the brightest light. Another reason orchid leaves curl is the potting medium is loose, causing an unstable rooting system. Fungus problems and insects are the third and fourth culprits in why the orchid leaf curls and twists.

Let’s look at these four reasons one by one. At the end of the article, I'll add 2 more reasons that may be occurring, but less likely. I hesitated to add them to the list, but decided to anyway since just because they're less likely to occur, doesn't mean they don't. So... on to the 6 reasons of why orchid leaves curl.
