Strip the Coir: Disengage the orchid from the coir it was originally potted in.

Prepare the Mix: Combine coconut fiber with pine bark. This mix offers excellent aeration and mimics the orchid’s natural environment.

Water Bath: Consider immersing the orchid in a bowl of water. This can help ease out the roots, especially if they’ve become too dry or tangled.

Repotting: Move the orchid to a new pot, ensuring it offers superb drainage. Transparent pots or those with side holes are ideal since orchid roots can photosynthesize.

Top Layer: Layer the top with your coconut fiber and pine bark mixture.

Strengthen with Fungicide: A light misting of fungicide on the orchid leaves can fortify its defense mechanism against potential diseases.

Conserve Energy: If your orchid isn’t blooming, consider trimming the spike. This helps the plant channel its energy towards health and growth rather than blooming.

Feed Your Orchid: Administer orchid-specific fertilizer to provide necessary nutrients.
