Benefits: Prevents excess moisture and promotes airflow.
Place dry, sterilized moss in a clean pot.
Position the orchid so roots touch the moss.
Avoid packing too tightly—good airflow is essential.
Step 4: Create the Perfect Recovery Zone
Place the orchid in a cool, shaded area with good ventilation.
Do not water for the first 7 days.
Keep away from direct sunlight.
🌿 This rest period allows roots to heal without stress.
Step 5: Resume Watering the Right Way
After 1 week, soak the pot in water for 10 minutes once a week.
Always let water drain completely.
For extra humidity, place the plant under a clear plastic cover or box.
Step 6: Supercharge Growth with Rice Water
Rice water is a natural fertilizer packed with amino acids and nutrients.
Soak 5 teaspoons of rice in 2 liters of water for a few hours.
Use this water for weekly orchid soaks (10 minutes each).
Step 7: Maintain Recovery
Continue weekly rice water soaks.
Mist leaves regularly.
Avoid overwatering—moss should be damp, not soggy.
Monitor for new green leaves and root growth.
The Stunning Results (After ~2 Months)
✅ Healthy, strong white roots

Conclusion:
Even if your orchid seems beyond saving, with baking soda, rice water, and the right care routine, you can transform it into a healthy, vibrant plant that blooms year-round
