How to save an orchid
First of all, you need to check if there is a peat tablet or peat cup in the pot.
A small flower is planted in them, but subsequently the tablet or cup begins to soak up moisture.
The tablet can be found at the base of the plant. To do this, just pour out the soil and remove the tablet. The unnecessary shells of dry and rotten roots are removed along with it.
After removing the rotten roots, the flower is transplanted into sphagnum.
The flower can be watered, but first you should pay attention to the color of the roots.
If the roots are grey, it’s time to water; if they are green, moisture is not needed; if they are yellow, the root has started to rot.
After new roots have formed, the plant can be transplanted to a permanent location.
