Orchids are incredibly beautiful and capricious plants.
Not every gardener would dare to grow an orchid for fear of not pleasing the overseas beauty.
However, there are ways to help maintain the flower in good condition so that the orchid pleases with beautiful and long-lasting flowering.
How to care for a plant
Growing an orchid with lush green leaves and making the plant bloom for a long time is what many gardeners want.
Simple methods will help strengthen weak plants so that they take root much earlier before transplanting.
And one trick will help with this. After the flowers have faded, do not rush to replant, put them in a dry cool place for 1 week without watering. With this method, the roots will never rot. Remove the old potting medium.
It may happen that the roots dry out a little and the leaves wilt a little. But this is the best way to prevent fungus from appearing on the plant. Root rot is very likely at this stage.
Cut off damaged roots, remove yellowed leaves. Rinse the plant roots under running water. Now you can use turmeric powder - a natural natural antibacterial substance.
Add 1 teaspoon of powder to 0.5 liters of water and stir thoroughly. Strain if necessary to obtain a homogeneous solution. Use the resulting water to wipe the leaves with a cotton pad.
Place the entire root of the plant in a turmeric solution for 30 minutes, then transfer the orchid to a plastic cup and give the flower some water. If the water is cloudy, it needs to be replaced. Remove damaged roots promptly.
Only healthy roots can absorb water and nutrition, this will help the plant to recover and grow lateral roots. With this method, orchid leaves will always be green, juicy and healthy. The result will be noticeable in 4 weeks.
