| Revive formula
Hi,
I used to import bare root Orchid plants 30 years ago, I learned this formula from my grandfather who imported before me. The Bare rooted orchids usually arrived very dehydrated, and this always worked to revive our plants!And I put my plants to soak in this formula as soon as I unwrap a shipment of orchid plants of any kind.
Mix well 3/4 cups of granulated sugar, 1 finely crushed Centrum vitamin with minerals tablet, 1/2 teaspoon of epson salt, and 1 teaspoon of liquid dish detergent per gallon of water. Submerge your plant in this solution, pot & all in for 4 hours, then drain, Take a towel thats been wetted with this solution & wrung out until just moist, & wrap your plants in this moist towel over night in a warm (70-75 degrees)place. you'll find your plant revived by the next day! unwrap your plant, & run tempid water over the plant & planting mix well, to remove the residue sugar. |
