Withered orchid, there is still hope: this ingredient brings it back to life


The orchid is one of the plants most loved by women, it beautifies and enlivens the home with splendid and simply cheerful colors that make the atmosphere warm and inviting. Many women keep it in the living room, others in the garden, on the terrace or balcony, or even on the windowsill.

Unfortunately, not all of us have a green thumb, some are unable to take care of plants, even if they have made a thousand different attempts to obtain a good result.

When a plant dies despite care and attention, we promise ourselves not to take another one, then we usually give in and history repeats itself. If your orchid is almost dead, don’t worry, the last word has not yet been said, maybe you can somehow bring it back to life and make sure that it is perfect and in splendid shape again

The trick to bring the orchid back to life

If you intervene in the world that follows, you will be able to remedy what will surely be an unpleasant and complicated , sometimes even dramatic, situation. Very few ingredients and tools, which we all have at home or which we can easily find in any store, are sufficient to bring the dead orchid back to life without too much effort or confusion.

What you need is ground cinnamon, a plastic bottle, a pair of scissors, a dish sponge, a used one is fine, a plastic bag, some bark, a water sprayer and a plant pot .

Here’s how and what to do to revive the plant in a few simple steps

The plant is removed from the pot, the dead parts are removed, i.e. the dry branches, petals, leaves, roots. For this purpose, sterilized scissors are used. Then you take the cinnamon powder and put it on top, to prevent the flower from getting mold or other diseases. </At this point the orchid is placed in a dry place for two days. It must be placed on a cotton cloth. Then we proceed with repotting, for which a plastic bottle is needed, the neck of which is cut, then some small holes are made in the bottom to allow excess water to drain.

A wet sponge is placed on the base, which must be sterilized and cleaned, even if it is used, then the orchid is placed on top and covered with a bag. This serves to create the greenhouse effect which allows the seedling to grow quickly in the heat and shelter from the elements. The bottle must be completely covered, the bag must remain still, so if you are afraid that it might move, you can fix the wire. All this helps to ensure that the orchid recovers after a maximum of one or two months and returns to being a plant full of life. Then remember that it must be exposed to the sun all year round, except in summer, otherwise it will die from too high temperatures. As soon as new roots appear, repot and you’re done.

What you need to know to care for the plant all year round

It is important to remember that when watering the orchid you should not use the usual method of pouring water directly.<img class=”size-full wp-image-524309 loaded” src=”https://donna.nanopress.it/wp-content/uploads/orchidea.jpg-2.jpg” sizes=”(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px” srcset=”https://donna.nanopress.it/wp-content/uploads/orchidea.jpg-2.jpg 740w, https://donna.nanopress.it/wp-content/uploads/ orchidea.jpg-2-150×81.jpg 150w, https://donna.nanopress.it/wp-content/uploads/orchidea.jpg-2-300×162.jpg 300w, https://donna.nanopress. en/wp-content/uploads/orchidea.jpg-2-696×376.jpg 696w” alt=”” width=”740″ height=”400″ data-lazy=”true” /
