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”).
Step 6: Nutrient Boost with Rice Water
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
