The orchid is the plant synonymous with elegance and beauty<\/strong> . This attractively colored plant adds style to our interiors. Growing this plant at home is not difficult at all, but some mistakes<\/strong> can damage it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To understand if your plant is suffering, you need to observe two things<\/strong> . First, take a look at the leaves<\/strong> . They should be large and bright green. However, if they are shriveled, yellow or floppy, it is a sign that your plant<\/a> is not in good health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The other fundamental element to observe, but which often goes unnoticed, is the roots<\/strong> . When the roots are rotten, the plant will no longer be able to grow and will gradually begin to wither. At this point, it needs proper treatment<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today I will explain how to treat an orchid with rotten roots and what to do to save it<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you notice that the roots of your orchid are rotten, remove it from the pot and prune it. Use well-disinfected scissors or a pair of shears<\/strong> to avoid transmitting bacteria, fungi or other diseases to the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, clean the remaining roots<\/strong> with an effective natural anti-mold. You can use ground cinnamon<\/strong> to sprinkle on the roots<\/a> to help them heal quickly and prevent the mold from spreading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s a great alternative to cinnamon. You can spray it on the plant’s soil or dilute it in water to achieve the same result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After pruning rotten roots and using ground cinnamon<\/a> or tea tree oil, use cotton wool<\/strong> . Not many people know this, but to save an orchid in these conditions, cotton can be of great help. Not only can cotton slow the rotting process<\/strong> , but it can also help the plant produce new roots<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n3 natural products that can save your orchids with rotten roots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
