We are talking about an orchid that has become, especially in recent times, the best-selling plant of all time, along with others that have become mandatory for nurseries, but not everyone knows how to take care of them properly.
It is common for this plant to produce very strong roots and some of them tend to come out of the pot in which we place our plant, which is why we tend to prune them.
Although the appearance is not the most beautiful at first, you have to be careful with what you do, because when you cut off these roots, called air roots, the plant can tend to damage and not bloom.
Otherwise, you have to take these aerial roots and place them in a tray filled with water next to our plant and wait for them to become strong and resistant before proceeding with the operation.
Once you’ve plucked the entire plant out of the pot, simply move it to a larger one, making sure the roots are wrapped around the others so that they grow strong and sturdy.
In this way, we will not only avoid aerial roots, but we will also have the opportunity to make sure that the flowers that appear are abundant and strong and will be the envy of anyone who sees our plant.
Additionally, there are several methods of caring for orchids, and some of them involve using lemon juice, while others use cow’s milk to keep the leaves bright and shiny and the flowers white and lush.
