Prune dead roots and leaves – Use sterilized scissors to trim away any black, mushy, or dried-out roots. Remove yellow or dead leaves.
Sprinkle cinnamon powder – Lightly dust the cut ends of roots or leaves with cinnamon. This acts as a natural sealant, preventing infection.
Repot carefully – Place the orchid in fresh orchid bark or moss, avoiding overly compact soil that can trap water.
Water sparingly – Orchids dislike soggy roots. Water only when the potting medium feels dry.
Provide proper light – Place in indirect sunlight to encourage new leaf and root growth.
Extra Natural Boost
Mix a pinch of cinnamon in warm water and use it as a gentle root soak once a month.
Add a few drops of honey to the soak for added antibacterial strength.
Final Tip 🌸
Don’t give up on your orchid! Even if it looks “dead,” its roots may still be alive. With a little care—and a pinch of cinnamon—you can help it recover, thrive, and bloom beautifully again.
