Orchids, how to propagate them endlessly with a potato: gardeners teach it

  • Preparation:
    • Ensure the orchid plant has already flowered at least once and that the orchid branches are healthy.
    • Gather shears for cutting, a flowering orchid, and a growth-promoting fertilizer.
  • Ideal Orchid Care:
    • Maintain a highly humid environment for the orchid, often placing it in areas like the bathroom, laundry room, or kitchen.
    • Provide daily nutrients while preventing the roots from prolonged contact with stagnant water to avoid rot.
  • Cutting Process:
    • Wearing gloves, cut a branch or cutting from the orchid plant using shears, ensuring a perpendicular cut.
  • Nutrient Preparation:
    • In a separate container, create a nutrient-rich substance:
      • Take all sprouts from a potato and place them in a bowl.
      • Add a chopped clove of garlic.
      • Mix the ingredients and add water.
    • Cover the mixture and let it macerate in a dark place for up to a week.
  • Application:
    • Disinfect the cut on the orchid cutting.
    • Filter the nutrient substance with potato and garlic to obtain a liquid nutrient.
    • Soak the cutting in the nutrient substance, ensuring it absorbs all essential nutrients.
  • Potting:
    • Place the soaked cutting into a pot filled with soil, allowing it to propagate over the following weeks.
