Step 4: Rehydrate the Orchid

A dried-out orchid needs a little extra TLC to regain its vitality. Fill a basin or sink with room-temperature water and let the orchid soak for about 15-30 minutes. Gently shake off excess water and allow it to drain thoroughly. This rehydration process helps replenish the moisture levels in the orchid’s roots.

Step 5: Trim and Treat Roots (if necessary)

If the orchid’s roots appear damaged or rotten, carefully trim away the affected portions using sterilized scissors or pruning shears. Treat any cuts with cinnamon powder, a natural antifungal agent, to prevent infection. Repot the orchid if necessary, using a well-draining orchid mix.
