Introduction
When an orchid loses its roots, most people assume it's beyond saving. However, with the right care, even a rootless orchid can bounce back. One of the best and most effective methods is growing it in water. This gentle, moisture-based recovery technique gives your orchid a second chance—stimulating new root growth and hydration in a safe, controlled way.
Why it works
Hydration Support: A water environment prevents dehydration and keeps orchid tissue alive.
Humidity Boost: Constant humidity encourages root nodes to activate and regenerate.
Stress-Free Recovery: No soil bacteria or fungi to cause further infection.
Safe Oxygen Access: Clear containers allow light and air exchange, mimicking a natural tropical setting.
Ingredients / Supplies
