Asian secret to revive the orchid
The Asian secret to reinvigorate the orchid when it is almost dry and wilted is easy to do, here’s how:
- Wash the roots well;
- Crush a clove of garlic with all the peel in a mortar;
- Place the crushed garlic in a container and add half a liter of water;
- Mix and filter the water with the strainer;
- Soak a cotton pad and disinfect the orchids.
At this point, place the orchid in a glass , fill it with the solution obtained and leave to act for 20 minutes. Once the time has passed, remove the orchid with the root from the glass and place it in another to dry.
When the root is completely dry, cut a plastic bottle and place the cap part upside down inside, then glue the root inside. Fill the plastic bottle to cover the bottom, avoiding touching the root of the orchid. In this way the heather will always retain the humidity necessary to grow and develop healthily and not rot.
Store the bottle with the root in a cool, dry place and spray with the garlic solution every 2 days. After a month, the orchid will have developed healthy, strong roots. Water the plant often to keep it moist and you will see that it will grow quickly, also developing young, healthy leaves.
