Ok, so
I did this.
i have an orchid
it was
dying it was dead it was um...
was completely dead and so what i did was I cut
the roots all the way down
like that
It was really really bad
so I trimmed them all... in fact the leaves
comes off
from this other side here...
but i didn't want to throw it away because
uh... this other leaf was really
was still really really good and very strong and very sturdy
so what i did was i took this out of the potter plant thing, the planter
and I
cut down all the roots right
and I cleaned them up
and what I did, I put this in this little umm.. my
own version off
greenhouse
I put this little ziploc bag and put water in it
and i have this regular cup
hold on one sec...
this is a cup from like ah...
coffebean, starbucks so whatever, actually this is peet's coffee
and i put some moss in there and water
and I put this pot
thing that came from the plant itself
and I put it like that
and i just put the...
after I trimmed all the roots
I put them here and i cover them
solid so it steamed up with little bit and i put them back by the sun.
Surprisingly
uh... the roots
uh... let me show you here, let me zoom in
if I can...
if you see the roots, they are all
pretty crazy, right.
you know like it's really dying
uh...
it's as if like i don't know they're going to survive at all, but it hasn't
uh...
suffer too much.
but it seems kinda pathetic
but here is the surprising thing...
look at here, if i show you
let me see...
it actually grows
it's actually growing something in there
see if you see it right here
its actually growing a little plant.
It is not a root...
Which is kinda...
very strange. Let me show you
even better.
You see it right here,
Let me put it down here
and maybe you can see it better
and let me focus
Okay...
You see this thing here
that's the plant.
it's like a plant.
it's actually growing something
uh... let me move it
and you can see the leaves
so it is kinda strange
it is not growing brand new roots uh.
but it's growing this growing plant thing.
m... so let me even focus even deeper.
oh I can't do it any more.
it's too close
So, as you can see...
there... this is the green thing
and this is the leafs, right...
and then on the other side
and the other end of the
thing let me see which side is it...
On this part,
there's another one
if you see
let me put it well
It doesn't want to stay
bad orchid, bad orchid.
ok maybe this is better.
see the two thing
one over here
and the other one is over here
i don't know what's going on
so
let me turn it this way
i mean it seems ok, right??
see the roots?
i don't know if there are any roots or what not
so which is kind of strange and so i have two of these..
here i'm gonna keep it
uh... in this little container here.. i move this on.. oops, ***. I spilt
oh water.. what happened? I think I broke the plastic.
oh crap.
