If your orchid is severely affected by fungi and bacteria, white cement can be a powerful remedy.
Remove Infected Parts
Cut off all diseased leaves and roots to prevent the infection from spreading.
If the orchid has no leaves left, cut off the flower bud to conserve nutrients for root regrowth.
Prepare White Cement Solution
Mix 1 small spoonful of white cement with 0.5 liters of water.
Let it sit for 30 minutes.
Decant the clear solution from the top and discard the residue at the bottom.
Soak the Orchid
Submerge the entire orchid in the cement solution for 30 minutes.
Hang it in a cool place for 1 day to dry.
Disinfect with Cinnamon Powder
Apply cinnamon powder to all cut surfaces to prevent fungal infections.
Replanting and Maintenance
Use dry pine bark as the growing medium.
Do not water for 1 week to allow cuts to heal.
After 1 week, start watering lightly.
Mix 20 grams of aloe vera leaves with 1 liter of water and use this solution to water the orchid.
Aloe vera provides essential minerals and vitamins, encouraging root and sprout growth.
Method 4: Using Aloe Vera and Garlic for Reviving Rotten Orchids
If the orchid has completely rotted but still has some fresh roots, aloe vera and garlic can work wonders.
Prepare Aloe-Garlic Solution
Blend 1 aloe vera leaf with 2 cloves of germinated garlic and 30g of additional aloe vera.
Add 1 liter of water and strain out the residue.
Soak the Orchid
Place the orchid in the aloe-garlic solution for 20 minutes.
This solution contains high levels of auxins, which stimulate root growth.
Use a Plastic Bottle Greenhouse
Cut and modify a plastic bottle to create a mini greenhouse.
This helps maintain the ideal humidity for revival while reducing environmental waste.
Replanting and Care
Use dry pine bark and let the plant sit without watering for 1 week.
After 1 week, start misting every 5 days to keep moisture levels stable.
Within 3 weeks, new sprouts and roots should emerge.
