Step 5: Resume Watering

 

After 1 week, soak the pot in clean water for 10 minutes once weekly.

Let excess water drain completely.

Cover pot with a clear plastic container to maintain humidity (“mini-greenhouse”).

Soak 5 tsp rice in 2 L water for a few hours.

Use this rice water to water your orchid once a week—it supplies minerals and promotes beneficial microbes.

Mist leaves regularly for extra humidity

Keep moss moist, never soggy

Monitor for new root and leaf growth
