Then the flower is removed from the solution and dried. While the moisture is leaving, new soil is prepared. The orchid should never be planted in old soil, otherwise history will repeat itself.

After drying, replant the plant. You can water the flower, but it is important not to overdo it. In the future, it is also important to ensure that watering is moderate.
