Aloe Vera Water for Root Growth
Blend 20 grams of aloe vera leaves with 1 liter of water.
Use this mixture to water the orchid once a week to stimulate root development.
Method 5: Garlic and Aloe Vera Root Stimulator

Keep the orchid in a cool place for 1 week without watering.
Maintain Moisture and Encourage Growth
After 1 week, begin watering every 5 days.
Continue misting to maintain humidity.
