If you want orchid roots to be strong, with more orchid shoots and new shoots, and for them to grow quickly. Besides the potting medium, temperature, fertilizer, watering and light, there is also a very effective little trick, and this trick is now used by many flower enthusiasts and has shown remarkable results.

Growing orchids requires watering and misting, and no one can avoid this. Nowadays most orchid growers only know to water or spray the flowers directly with water, but they do not know that there are many little tricks involved. The little trick introduced to you today is to add acetylsalicylic acid to the water when watering. Acetylsalicylic acid is also called aspirin, and it can dissolve in water into salicylic acid and acetic acid. Used to water or spray orchids, it can synthesize three kinds of proteins that protect plants, and when used on orchids it has the effects of promoting growth, making them robust and increasing yield. First grind the acetylsalicylic acid tablets into powder, dissolve them with a little alcohol, then dilute with water. You can also dissolve them directly in water, though it may take a little longer. After dilution you can water or spray the orchids. For watering, add one tablet to 500 grams of water; for spraying, add one tablet to 1000 grams of water. Watering or spraying this way is very effective for strong roots and for increasing and speeding up sprouting.

Watering orchids with this water can not only achieve strong roots, more shoots and fast growth, but can also help with drought resistance, reduce bud and flower drop, protect and preserve the roots, and prevent root rot. For newly planted orchids it can help them quickly take root and recover, improving the survival rate. It can extend their flowering period and improve the ornamental effect. Moreover, it has no side effects, will not harm the orchids, and is safe to use. But when using it, do not increase the dosage at will; generally once every half a month is enough. At the beginning you can try one tablet first; it only benefits the roots and does no harm, and you will know after using it a few times.

Besides the above ways to make orchids grow more roots and sprout more, daily care should also pay attention to soil, temperature, humidity, light and moisture. For inexperienced flower enthusiasts, it is recommended to use special orchid soil, as this makes care easier. Temperature and humidity are the essential conditions for promoting orchid sprouting. If growing them indoors, it is best to keep it between 20--25 degrees during the day and 13--18 degrees at night. If the indoor temperature stays constant all year round, it is not good for orchid sprouting and bud formation. If you want orchids to sprout more and grow fast, you should control moisture during the dormancy period and let the roots stay a little drier, and then they will naturally grow more new shoots.
