If your orchid has also lost its leaves, don’t throw it away because there is a method to cure it and bring it back to life. Here’s how to make it look beautiful and bloom again.

The orchid is not a difficult plant to care for, in fact with a few small precautions it is possible to keep it alive easily. However, if you really don’t have a green thumb and your orchid is about to die, don’t worry because there is a way to revive it. In this case we will see how to revive a plant without leaves.

Let’s start by saying that the orchid is a very common plant in the apartment nowadays but you have to be careful where you place it. In fact, temperature and light can contribute to it dying earlier than expected. The ideal temperature to store it is about 20°C but be careful not to place it near radiators and drafts.

Another very important factor is exposure to light that should never be directed. In fact, direct sunlight can burn both flowers and plants. But let’s see how to revive your plant with a few steps that are not so difficult to follow.

Orchid: This is how to make it reborn

It is possible to revive an orchid completely without leaves and a simple aspirin will suffice. It is recommended for the use of aspirin on plants to use an 81 mg aspirin divided in half. Once you have your half aspirin you can put it in a napkin or plastic bag to break it up perhaps with the help of the back of a glass.

However, you won’t need only aspirin although it is the fundamental element. You will also need a clove of garlic that will eliminate any fungi from the plant thanks to the sulfur it contains. So now take a blender and pour in the crumbled half aspirin, a clove of garlic and 1 L of water. Blend for a few seconds and then filter the mixture.

Once you have obtained the water with garlic and aspirin you can take your orchid and prepare it. First you will have to take it out of the pot and remove all the moss leaving only the roots. Then go and cut off the rotten roots with the help of scissors, but the base from which the leaves emerge will also be thoroughly cleaned. Then wash the orchid thoroughly under running water.

At this point you can put your orchid in the water you made earlier with garlic and aspirin. Leave the roots inside for about an hour. In the meantime, prepare what you need for the next steps. You’ll need two plastic cups, small tongs, and pine bark that’s been soaking in water for 5 days.

After an hour you can remove the orchid from the water with garlic and aspirin and let the pine bark soak for another hour in the same water. In the meantime you can prepare the two glasses that will be used to create a greenhouse effect. Simply make small incisions in the bottom edge of the glass as if it were a vase.

At this point you can move the orchid by introducing it between the bark of the pine tree and you can close it with the other glass using pliers. Remember to spray the plant every day without exaggerating and after about a month you will see the first results. As soon as the plant looks healthy, you can transfer it.
