If you’ve been growing orchids for a while, you’ve probably experienced the heartbreak of wilted, limp leaves 😢. This is often caused by dehydration, weak root systems, or improper watering. If left untreated, the orchid will lose strength, and recovery will be much harder.
The good news? 🌟 With a natural homemade elixir and the right care schedule, you can bring your orchids back to life — restoring firm, glossy leaves and strong roots.
This guide will show you how to prepare Ginger Enzyme (GE Ginger), how to combine it with Vitamin B1, and how to apply it effectively to revive your orchids.
🥄 Step 1: Preparing the Ginger Enzyme (GE Ginger)
Why Ginger?
Fresh ginger contains natural growth stimulants, antibacterial compounds, and enzymes that boost root activity, improve nutrient absorption, and encourage new sprouting.
This solution is not only great for orchids but also works wonders for roses 🌹, herbs 🌿, and other flowering plants 🌸.
🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need:
Fresh ginger – 1 small piece (about the size of your thumb) 🫚
Clean water – 900 ml 💧
Molasses or sugarcane juice – about 1–2 tbsp (feeds beneficial fermentation microbes) 🍯
Plastic container with lid – 1000 ml capacity (leave space for fermentation gases) 🫙
🥣 Preparation Steps:
1️⃣ Crush the Ginger 🫚🔪
Peel and lightly crush or chop the ginger to release its juice.
2️⃣ Mix the Ingredients 💧
In the plastic container, add the ginger, molasses/sugarcane juice, and water.
3️⃣ Fermentation 🫙
Seal loosely to allow gases to escape.
Store in a warm, shaded place (avoid direct sunlight).
Ferment for 7–10 days — stir or shake gently every 1–2 days to encourage enzyme activity.
4️⃣ Ready to Use 🌿
