Aesthetically very beautiful, elegant and sophisticated, orchids are probably the most sophisticated houseplants.\u00a0Although they are minimalist plants, their flowers are capable of truly coloring and beautifying any environment.\u00a0Their care requires a little attention but is not particularly difficult.\u00a0Indeed, it is possible to propagate this idea at home in a few simple steps and with a few natural ingredients.\u00a0Let\u2019s see how to do it.<\/p>\n

How to propagate an orchid at home<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Propagating an orchid indoors might seem like a difficult task.\u00a0In reality all you will need is the branch of a faded orchid which may appear almost dead, a small banana, some ground cinnamon, a clove of garlic, some moss, a candle, a plastic bottle and some water .\u00a0The process is simple and only requires a little time and patience<\/strong>\u00a0for the orchid to take root.<\/p>\n

\"Propagating
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

First you need to identify the branch to be cut.\u00a0The best thing is\u00a0to choose a sprig without flowers or buds<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Cut it from the rest of the plant and cut the ends again until you can see the bright green inside.\u00a0Our new orchid plant will start from this sprig.\u00a0At this point it is necessary\u00a0to peel a clove of garlic<\/strong>\u00a0and use it to insert the ends of the sprig inside.\u00a0You will have to use the garlic clove to massage the two green sides of the branch well.\u00a0This will help prevent the formation of mold or fungi and prevent the branch from rotting.<\/p>\n

Now take a candle and light it.\u00a0When the wax starts to flow, use it to seal the ends of the branch<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0It may seem like a practice that prevents the plant from breathing or sprouting, but in reality this technique will help prevent our branch from losing water.\u00a0Now that you have prepared the branch for propagation, all that remains is to move on to the procedure.<\/p>\n

The propagation process<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Take your small banana, peel it, and put both the fruit and the peels in a blender.\u00a0Then add a liter of water and\u00a0blend everything well<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0When you have obtained a liquid mixture,\u00a0equip yourself with a strainer and filter the substance obtained into a jar<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

This liquid will act as an activator for the twig, which\u00a0will be completely immersed for at least 20 minutes<\/strong>\u00a0in a hermetically sealed container.\u00a0In the meantime, pour a teaspoon of cinnamon and a liter of boiling water<\/strong>\u00a0into another container\u00a0.\u00a0Mix this mixture well and let it cool.<\/p>\n

Once you have reached room temperature,\u00a0proceed in this case too by filtering everything well<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0The mix of water and cinnamon will serve as a disinfectant for the moss in which we will place our future orchid.\u00a0Then immerse the moss in the mix and leave it to soak for 20 minutes<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Once the time has passed, squeeze it well and let it dry on a paper towel.<\/p>\n

Now all you have to do is\u00a0create your miniature greenhouse where you can place the orchid sprig<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Take a large water bottle and cut it a third from the base, leaving one part together so that it can be opened and closed.<\/p>\n

\"Bottle

Place some pebbles at the bottom of the bottle<\/strong>\u00a0which will serve as drains to prevent the water from stagnating.\u00a0\u00a0Then add the moss on top<\/strong>\u00a0and place the orchid sprig horizontally on top, wetting it with the same water in which it was immersed.<\/p>\n

Spray completely with a little water and close the bottle to maintain humidity.\u00a0Continue nebulizing regularly and\u00a0after a couple of weeks you will already be able to see the first shoots<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0The advice is to continue to\u00a0keep the sprig in the DIY greenhouse for at least a couple of months<\/strong>\u00a0, after which you will have a plant with roots ready to be buried in the Bark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
