"LOOSE ORCHID, DEAD ORCHID" Don't forget it!

Hey plant lovers!

Just a friendly reminder for all the orchid enthusiasts out there:

"Loose orchid, dead orchid."

It translates the most important aspect when planting an orchid plant.

This phrase highlights the crucial importance of securing your orchid plants properly when potting or repotting.

Orchids must be fixed, and when planting them we need to fix them well so that new roots can sprout and thus attach themselves to the environment in which they are found in pots, baskets, sticks or sheets.

Using a metal hook, stake or resistant tape we must hold them firmly to stimulate their adaptation, rooting soon to continue with their correct development.

If we don't do it, we have a great chance of losing the plant.

When an orchid is not fixed well in its pot, it can wobble and stress the roots, leading to poor growth or even death. Ensuring your orchid is stable allows the roots to establish themselves firmly, promoting a healthy, thriving plant.

So next time you're repotting, take that extra moment to secure your orchid – your plant will thank you!
