If you want to have a flowering orchid like never before, there is a mushroom method that only a few people know. Here is what it is.
There are many plants and flowers in our homes that, in addition to beautifying and decorating our homes, have a positive effect on our organism and our mood and also help the environment.
In fact, many of them tend to release carbon dioxide and absorb excess moisture in rooms through the photosynthesis of chlorophyll, thus preventing the formation of condensation and mold.
In addition, the presence of plants and flowers in our homes and especially on balconies helps insects during pollination, which is a very important operation for the protection of the planet.
Orchid: the mushroom method
One of the most common plants in our homes is the orchid for its durability and for its flowers of various colors that are used for many events and ceremonies and for the elegance of its bloom.
Even a plant that seems dead can come back to life and regain its strength with an incredible result: you start cleaning a plant that is about to die by removing all dry or rotten parts.
It must then be removed from the ground and stripped of any bark that is there, and then with sterilized scissors remove any other dry parts that cannot be removed by hand.
Don’t worry about removing parts that you don’t know if they are rotten or not, it is always better to remove damaged parts than to keep them so that the healthy part can regenerate after treatment.
The middle part, still viable, will appear with a small root and perfect leaves if not completely dry. Live parts may form where mold and bacteria can enter and must be sealed with cinnamon, which heals and helps form new roots.
Cinnamon should be dripped onto the cut part and left to rest for 48 hours in a sterile and dry environment, placing the plant on a clean tissue on a serving plate.
What happens to the plant
Once this time has passed, cut off the bottom of the plastic bottle , approximately 10 cm, and pierce the bottom, making 4 or 5 slits to allow the water to drain. Inside, prepare a bed for the seedling.
For this you can use moss or lichen or if we do not have these organic materials, insert a sterilized sponge. Once you have it, wet it and place it in the bottom of the cut bottle.
Once inserted, place the plant in a plastic bag and seal to create a true microclimate to help the plant refresh and revive.
Place it in a place where it can get a lot of light, taking care not to expose it to direct sunlight for about 50 days . After these two months or so, we can see the results.
The plant will become vital with hard, green and shiny leaves and there will be no mold and bacteria and the root system will be perfect and the remaining roots will grow a few centimeters and form more.
Then put some bark in a plastic pot with holes in the bottom and being careful not to break the roots, slowly insert the plant and add more bark until the pot is full.
Then use a vaporizer or spray to wet everything, but be careful not to wet the leaves, at least for the first few days. In this way, the plant should be treated like any other orchid plant.
After another three months, the plant will grow both leaves and roots and will grow more and more, and then flowers will grow that will be the envy of everyone.
