How do you grow roots on an orchid that has none? The sand rooting method

An orchid with no roots can be rooted using sand. Take the plant out and let it dry, then add water to the sand and insert it to root. Once this is done, the environment must be kept suitable: place it where there is no strong light, and keep the temperature at 20 to 25 degrees. Pay attention to later factors such as light and water.

I. Steps

Take the plant out and let it dry in a place without direct sunlight, then add water to the sand and insert it to root, making sure the root area stays moist. Once this is done, the environment must be kept suitable: place it in a shaded spot where it will not be exposed to overly strong direct light, and keep the temperature at 20 to 25 degrees. Once the roots have grown out, it can be replanted, and pay attention to the care that follows.

II. Later care

1. Light: give it a moderate amount of sun exposure every day, but be sure to avoid overly strong light to prevent dehydration or scorching. It must never be kept in a dark, lightless environment for a long time, as that will affect the plant's growth and cause it to become weak.

2. Water: when watering, decide based on the specific temperature conditions. In spring it does not need much water; in summer, when the temperature is relatively high, it can be watered a moderate amount more. From autumn, as the weather gradually turns cooler, it needs to be reduced as appropriate. Rainwater and spring water are the most suitable types of water to use. If it gets rained on, the water needs to be poured out promptly.
