How to resuscitate an orchid with dead roots

Improper care, change of placement conditions, violation of watering rules leads to extremely negative consequences. Unfortunately, the orchid is not a hardy plant, so it can easily die. If you see that the plant is in bad condition, there is still a chance to save it.

How to resuscitate a plant

Pay attention to a critically important nuance. You can resuscitate an orchid only if the neck of the flower is preserved. In other cases, the actions will not give the desired result.

First of all, you need to give the plant less light. Put her down to put her in a resting state. The neck of the orchid should be free of signs of rot or dryness. If this part is in bad condition, it can be cleaned to healthy tissues. Such cleaned areas should be treated with cinnamon.

The plastic bottle should be cut into two parts. So that the part with the throat can be turned over and inserted into the other part. Pour some water into the bottle. And insert an orchid into the throat of the upper part.

Please note that the treated place of the orchid should not touch the water. By the way, the leaves must be cut, because without the roots they have no meaning. In a quiet place without light sources, the orchid should grow new roots. When it is about 7 cm, then you can transplant it into your favorite pot.
