With just one spoon, the orchid reborn and produces many roots and branches
The orchid is a popular indoor plant appreciated for its delicate beauty and beautiful flowers. However, sometimes these plants may have root and branch problems that require special attention to help them regenerate. A simple but effective method to encourage an orchid to produce new roots and branches is to use just a spoon.
The tools you will need:
- A plastic spoon
- A small pot with a substrate suitable for orchids
- Luke water
Steps to follow:
1. Identify damaged roots and branches
Before starting the regeneration process, carefully examine the orchid for dry, rotten or damaged roots and weakened branches. These parts of the plant will need to be treated to allow the plant to regenerate effectively.
2. Use spoon to remove damaged parts
With caution, use the spoon to gently remove the damaged roots and branches of the orchid. Make sure you are soft so that you do not cause extra stress to the plant.
3. Encourage the growth of new roots
Dip the spoon into warm water to heat it slightly. Then use the spoon to gently scratch the base of the orchid stem. This action will stimulate the production of new roots and encourage plant growth.
4. Transplant the orchid in a new pot
Prepare the small pot with a special substrate for orchids. Gently place the orchid in the new pot, ensuring that the roots are well distributed. Add substrate to fill the voids and keep the plant in place.
5. Water and treat orchid
After the transplant process, water the orchid slightly to help the substrate settle and promote the growth of new roots. Place the plant in a bright place but shelter from the direct sun, and make sure to maintain a good moisture level around the plant.
By following these simple steps, you can help your orchid regenerate and produce many healthy roots and branches. The use of a spoon may seem harmless, but it is an effective and plant-friendly method to encourage the growth and health of your beloved orchid.
