How to deal with orchids that have been overwatered? How to save them?

1. Treatment methods

If you water the orchid too much and there is water accumulation, you can pour out the water first, then place the potted plant in a well-ventilated and high place, and wait for the excess water to evaporate. You can also turn over the soil on the inner surface of the flowerpot, but be careful not to damage its roots.

If excessive watering causes adverse symptoms, such as root rot and yellow leaves, then the plant needs to be removed from the pot. Observe the rotten roots, cut off the rotten roots with a knife, and then it is best to replace the soil in the pot, or pour out the soil and dry it in the sun. After pruning the roots, they need to be disinfected and dried. Finally, when the soil in the pot is no longer so wet, you can replant it.

2. Correct watering method

1. Water after the soil is dry: In order to avoid water accumulation, we should water the flowers after the soil is dry. If you don't know when to water the plant, you can stick a wooden stick into the soil before watering, wait a few minutes and take it out. If it is dry, you can water it.

2. Water thoroughly: The purpose of watering thoroughly is to allow the plant roots to absorb water evenly. If the watering is not done correctly for a long time, the roots at the bottom will not absorb water for a long time, it will grow poorly and the plant will easily dry up.
