To do this, you need to put the flower pot in a deep bowl and completely fill the roots.
If there is pine bark in the soil, then the pot with the orchid should be left in orange water for 10 minutes. During this time, the roots will perfectly absorb all the nutrients. After applying orange fertilizer, the orchid will bloom magnificently and turn green again.
