Growing an Orchid Without Soil:
To transition an orchid to a water-based existence, patience and gentle handling are key:
Preparation: Carefully remove the orchid from its pot, freeing it from any moss or bark bits clinging to the roots.
Root Care: Unravel the roots with care and rinse them thoroughly. Any unhealthy parts should be snipped away with sterilized shears.
Placement: Now, the orchid is ready to be positioned in a vase filled with water. Some enthusiasts prefer to support the roots with clay pebbles, which helps prevent rot by lifting the plant’s base above the waterline.
Water Change Routine: For permanent water dwellers, refresh the water biweekly to maintain cleanliness. Alternatively, you can submerge the orchid for a couple of days, then allow it to dry for five days, which mimics natural rainforest conditions.

Establishment: Ensure that the orchid roots are suspended in a shallow layer of water, about 3 centimeters deep, for a week to let them adapt.
