Dead orchid, you only need 1 pinch to resurrect it easily

A Teaspoon of Glucose: Orchid Elixir

To fortify the orchid’s immune system, a readily available kitchen ingredient comes to the rescue: glucose. Dilute a teaspoon of glucose in water to create a nourishing fertilizer for your orchid. Orchid roots readily absorb sugary substances, but moderation is key to prevent an osmotic imbalance leading to dehydration.

Apply this glucose solution monthly, ensuring a balanced dosage to avoid bacterial and fungal proliferation. Some horticulturists also recommend adding a touch of milk, not only as a leaf cleaner but also as a natural fertilizer, giving expired milk a second purpose.
