What to do when orchid roots rot severely
At this time, we will choose to use sphagnum moss, which has been soaked by me. When preparing this sphagnum moss, we must soak it in clean water, remove impurities, and then squeeze out the excess water before taking it out.
This is an orchid I received yesterday. At that time, its roots were almost completely rotten, so I cut its roots to only a little bit, basically leaving it in a state with no roots. Today, I will teach you how to properly plant when the flower has no roots.
1. Special soil for orchids
Firstly, we need to prepare special soil for orchids. This soil mainly consists of pine bark, volcanic stone perlite, and some small stones, which we mix together. Before planting, we put a layer of ceramsite at the bottom.
As a water filtration layer, this much is enough. Then we put a layer of soil at the bottom of the pot. After laying the soil, the key part comes next. How should we plant this rootless orchid?
2. Post-planting care
At this time, we will choose to use sphagnum moss, which has been soaked by me. When preparing this sphagnum moss, we must soak it in clean water, remove impurities, and then squeeze out the excess water before taking it out.
We wrap the orchid with it, as it has good moisturizing properties and is beneficial for the orchid's rhizome to develop roots. Rhizomes particularly enjoy a humid environment. Only when the moisturizing work is done well, new roots can easily grow out, like this.
Then we put it in the pot, prepare a fixed position, fill it with soil, and be careful not to plant it too deep when planting to avoid the rhizome being planted too deep, which makes it difficult to germinate later. Now the rootless orchid has been planted. After planting, we need to water it once with a settling water, making sure it is thoroughly watered.
