Pour 1 spoon onto orchid roots! Suddenly, each flower node bloomed countless flowers

Garlic and honey possess powerful antibacterial and antifungal properties that protect orchids from infections, pests, and diseases. To prepare this natural solution:

  1. Take two cloves of garlic and slice them thinly.
  2. Add the sliced garlic to one liter of water.
  3. Mix in one teaspoon of honey.
  4. Stir well and let the mixture sit for one hour, allowing the nutrients to infuse into the water.

This potent mixture serves as an excellent disinfectant while also providing essential minerals and vitamins that enhance the overall health of orchids.

Step 3: Reviving Weak Orchids

If your orchid is weak, has stopped blooming, or has damaged roots and leaves, follow these steps to revive it:

  • Carefully remove damaged leaves and roots to encourage new growth.
  • After preparing the garlic and honey solution, filter the liquid to remove solid particles.
  • Use a soft cloth or cotton pad to wipe both the top and bottom of the leaves with the filtered liquid. This process helps to:
    • Repel harmful insects.
    • Prevent fungal and bacterial infections.
    • Keep the leaves hydrated and nourished.

Step 4: Soaking Orchid Roots in Garlic and Honey Solution

To disinfect and stimulate new root growth:

  • Soak the orchid roots in the garlic and honey water for 10 minutes.
  • This process helps kill bacteria and fungi while providing essential nutrients for root recovery.
  • After soaking, replant the orchid in fresh, well-draining potting mix to encourage strong root development.
