Reviving Rotten Orchids: Step-by-Step Guide to Bring Your Orchids Back to Life

Orchids are resilient plants, but sometimes they suffer from rot and leaf loss. Many people may think such orchids are beyond saving and discard them. However, with the right care, even severely damaged orchids can be revived. Today, I will share with you several effective methods to nurse dying orchids back to health.
Method 1: Using Cinnamon Water to Revive Orchids

If your orchid has lost all its leaves but still has a few fresh roots, do not throw it away. Follow these steps:

Remove Rotten Parts
Cut off all damaged and rotten roots.
Seal the cut wounds with molten candle wax to prevent water from entering and causing further decay.
Prepare Cinnamon Water
Mix 2 teaspoons of cinnamon powder with 1 liter of boiled water.
Cover and allow it to cool completely.
Strain the liquid to remove residue.
Soak the Orchid
Place the orchid in cinnamon water for 30 minutes.
This solution helps prevent fungal diseases and insect infestations.
Use the remaining solution to spray on other orchids as a protective measure.
Replanting the Orchid
Use dry pine bark and pumice stone as the growing medium to improve drainage.
Add a layer of dry moss on top to help retain moisture.
Keep the orchid in a cool, well-lit place for 7 days.
Maintenance
After 7 days, lightly mist the plant to maintain humidity.
Cover it with a clear plastic container with ventilation holes to create a greenhouse effect.
Within 3 weeks, new shoots should begin to emerge.
Spray water once every 5 days to keep the sprouts hydrated.
