Repot your orchid : If you notice moldy or damaged roots, you may need to repot. Choose a clear pot with drainage holes and use a suitable orchid substrate, such as sphagnum moss or bark. Gently remove the orchid from the old pot, cutting off any dry or moldy roots, and place it in the new substrate. Make sure not to bury the roots too deeply, leaving room for air circulation.
Correct Watering : Over- or under-watering can cause problems for orchids. Ideally, you should only water your plant when the substrate is dry to the touch. Using room temperature water is preferable to cold water, as orchids prefer warmer temperatures. Avoid water accumulation in the saucer, as this can cause root rot.
Proper Nutrition : Orchids need nutrients to survive and flourish. Use a fertilizer specifically designed for orchids with a low concentration of nitrogen. Apply the fertilizer every two to three weeks during the growing season and dilute it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Careful Pruning : Pruning can stimulate growth and rebloom your orchid. After the flowers have faded, carefully cut the stem just above a node or lateral eye. This will encourage the plant to produce new shoots and flowers.
Be Patient : Recovering a dying orchid takes time and patience. Don’t expect immediate results, but watch closely for signs of improvement and continue to provide proper care.
