We are talking about the orchid , which has become, especially in the last period, the best-selling plant of all time, along with others that have become mandatory for nurseries, but not everyone can maintain them properly.

It often happens that this plant produces very robust roots and some of them tend to come out of the pot where we place our plant and that is why we tend to prune them.

Although initially the appearance is not the most beautiful, you need to be careful with what you do, because when you cut these roots, called aerial roots, the plant may tend to become damaged and not flower.

Otherwise, you must take these aerial roots and place them in a tray filled with water next to our plant and wait for them to become strong and robust before proceeding with the operation.

When you uproot the entire plant from its pot, simply transfer it to a larger one, making sure that the roots are wrapped around the others so that they grow strong and robust.

In this way, not only will we avoid having aerial roots, but we will also have the opportunity to ensure that the flowers that will be born are abundant and strong and will be the envy of everyone who sees our plant .

Furthermore, there are several methods of orchid maintenance and some of them involve the use of lemon juice while others use cow’s milk to make the leaves bright and shiny and the flowers white and lush.
