How to keep an orchid alive for years?
To have an orchid with healthy, robust roots and lush leaves, I advise you to follow this technique, which is very popular with Asians.
To begin, you must dig up your orchid and clean the roots well to remove soil residue. Then, cut the dry roots with a pair of scissors. After this step, you must also remove excess leaves to leave only one main stem.
Then, wash your plant and dry the leaves with cotton. Next, take some garlic to crush in a mortar . Put the crushed garlic at the bottom of a glass container. Add water to the glass and then filter everything.
Then, put the orchid in a jar filled with a third of the filtered garlic juice. Leave your plant in for about 20 minutes then let it dry in an empty container.
Meanwhile, take a small plastic bottle and cut off the top to make a plastic cup. Then, place the neck on the bottom of the glass.
Insert the root of your orchid inside the neck of the bottle . Then, add a little water while avoiding wetting the roots . The water will evaporate gradually in order to maintain an ideal humidity level.
Every 2 days, you should spray your orchid inside the bottle with a little water . After a few weeks, new roots will form as will new leaves.
