The trick to revive a dried orchid whose flowers have faded

Irrigation
While your orchid’s roots can dry out and die due to dehydration, too much water can cause them to rot .

To water your plant , remove the pot and immerse the plant in a basin of water for 10 minutes. Then remove the pot from the basin, let it drain and replace the lid on the pot. This technique will allow you to hydrate the roots, but also the root ball. Use room temperature water for watering, as hot or very cold water may damage the orchid’s roots. It can also be used in irrigation water, a liquid fertilizer once a month but without excess. During warm weather, you can spray your orchid’s foliage, but make sure your plant dries well afterward. This is because water can build up in your plant and cause it to rot.

Orchid diseases

When orchid growing conditions are not suitable, your plant can develop certain diseases. We can therefore notice a gray rot forming on its flowers, or black spots covering the plant. In this case it is necessary to remove the damaged parts of the plant, to avoid the risk of contamination.

By respecting these conditions, your dried orchid will be able to develop new stems, with flower buds at the ends, which will then give you beautiful flowers.
