Rotten orchids should not be thrown away: a pinch will bring them back to life

How to revive rotten orchids

Orchids are beautiful  plants that can add a touch of elegance and beauty to any decor. However, they can sometimes rot and lose their leaves, which can be very frustrating for orchid owners. Fortunately, there are a few things that can be done to revive rotting orchids and restore them to their original beauty.

First of all, it is important to understand why orchids rot. This often happens due to poor care or unfavorable environmental conditions. Orchids, for example, need sufficient light, but should not be exposed to direct sunlight, otherwise they risk wilting. They also need regular but thorough watering, as overwatering can cause root rot.

If your orchid is rotten, start by removing the faded leaves and petals. Next, it is important to check the roots of the plant to see if they are rotten or have been attacked by pests. If the roots are rotten, all rotten parts should be removed with a clean, disinfected knife. If the roots are healthy but the plant is still sluggish, it may be necessary to adjust environmental conditions or watering frequency.

Once the plant has been cared for and the environmental conditions have been optimized, it is important to give your orchid time to recover and regrow. This may take several weeks or even months, so it is important to be patient and care for your orchid as usual.

If you follow these steps, you should see your orchid reborn and regain its original beauty. However, remember that orchids are delicate plants and require careful maintenance to stay healthy and vigorous. So be sure to follow the appropriate care instructions for your orchid variety and adapt your care practices to environmental conditions. So you can enjoy the beauty of these plants for many years.
