- 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.
- In a separate container, create a nutrient-rich substance:
- 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.
