Take note of this once and for all: orchids do not need expensive fertilizers, just plain SUGAR!

Here is how to proceed:

Prepare a sugar solution by dissolving a teaspoon of sugar in a liter of water.
Immerse the orchid in the solution, leaving it to soak for 8-9 hours or even for the whole day.
After the sugar bath, immerse the orchid in stagnant water for an hour.
Return the orchid to its usual spot.

You will notice that the leaves will be fuller and the flowers will lift. The next day, the orchid will be visibly improved.

This treatment has even brought orchids that seemed destined for the wastebasket back to life. My sister’s violet has even produced more buds since we started this method.
