Today I decided to elaborate more on the process of saving and dehydrating Orchids that lack a good root system.
▼▼▼More info bellow!▼▼▼
First off, I did a video in the past on this issue, but I dealt with Phalaenopsis there and I feel I did not elaborate as much. if you want to see it though, here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMpf-zXqoDQ
Roots are one of the most important structure for an orchid, as they are incredibly well adapted to absorb, store and direct water and nutrients. More on orchid roots here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQBautYpq9s
When roots are missing, the orchid is in serious distress and we need to focus on some root production. I am not the type that entrusts in miracle techniques or substances, I like the straight forward and logical approach: how do we make this orchid absorb water while still maintaining it airy?
And here is where all of us can start to be creative and adapt our techniques in accordance to our environment and orchids.
