Here is a little gardening tip for you. In order for your plants like orchids to have the best chances of flourishing, old, wilted, or damaged leaves need to be removed, otherwise they can become toxic and lead to root rot. Once removed, you can disinfect the plant by soaking its roots for 10 minutes in one liter of water with 5 grams (one teaspoon) of baking soda. Afterwards, remove it from the container and dry it with a soft towel. Prepare an orchid-specific fertilizer by adding 15 grams (three teaspoons) of rice to another jug in addition to a liter of water. Allow the rice water to sit and ferment overnight. Filter and use this liquid to make a natural fertilizer for the orchids. You can first soak the plant in the rice water for 20 minutes, then take it out and plant it in a new pot. Water the orchid with rice water once every 10 days and set it in an area with gentle light that can help the plant photosynthesize and boost its metabolism. Following these steps will help your orchids thrive!
