A fading orchid will bloom in a month: how to help a capricious plant
If your orchid doesn't look good, one little trick from experienced gardeners can help it.
Sometimes the owners of a capricious flower return home after a long trip and notice that the plant is in a deplorable state due to dehydration.
There is no need to rush to get rid of the orchid. It is still possible to save the plant, but you need to hurry.
How to save an orchid
To begin, flower growers take the flower out of the pot and remove the remains of the substrate. If there are damaged areas of the roots, they are removed.
Next, the orchid is returned to the pot and the plant is covered on all sides with sphagnum moss. This material is collected in the forest or bought in a gardening store.
Then warm water (50 °C) is collected in a basin and the orchid pot is placed there. After a few minutes, the container with the plant is taken out of the basin and excess liquid is poured out.
Next, wrap the pot in a bag and leave it on the windowsill for 3 days. There is no single recovery period. The more living roots the phalaenopsis has, the faster the plant will return to normal.
