Strain out solids before applying to your plants.
💡 Tip: The enzyme will have a slightly sweet, fermented smell when ready — if it smells rotten, discard and start over.
💧 Step 2: Combining with Vitamin B1 for Maximum Recovery
Why Vitamin B1?
Vitamin B1 (thiamine) helps reduce transplant shock, encourages root regeneration, and speeds up recovery from dehydration.
🥄 Mixing Formula:
Ginger Enzyme – 1 tablespoon per 1 liter of water
Vitamin B1 solution – follow package instructions (usually a few drops or 1 ml per liter)
Mix both in a spray bottle or watering can.
🌿 Step 3: Application Method
1️⃣ Check Roots First
Remove the orchid from its pot and inspect the roots.
Trim away any mushy, black, or rotten roots. Healthy roots are firm and green/silver.
2️⃣ Soak the Roots
Place roots in the GE Ginger + B1 solution for 20–30 minutes.
This allows the formula to penetrate and stimulate recovery.
3️⃣ Re-Pot in Fresh Medium
Use fresh orchid bark or moss — avoid reusing old medium.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
4️⃣ Spray the Leaves
Lightly mist the leaves (top and underside) with the solution 2–3 times per week.
5️⃣ Adjust Care
Keep the orchid in bright, indirect light 🌤.
Maintain humidity around 60–70%.
Water only when the medium is almost dry.
⏳ Recovery Timeline
Week 1–2: Leaves may still look limp, but roots will begin to heal.
Week 3–4: New root tips appear, leaves start to firm up.
Week 5+: Noticeable improvement in leaf texture, plant regains strength.
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
🚫 Overwatering during recovery — this can cause new root rot.
🚫 Placing the orchid in harsh direct sun while it’s stressed.
🚫 Skipping the trimming of rotten roots before treatment.
🌸 Final Thoughts
