Methods of using aloe vera gel on orchids
There are several methods of applying aloe vera gel to orchids, all of which are effective and can be chosen depending on your needs. A fairly quick way to apply the gel to orchids and make them bloom profusely is to rub the opened aloe leaf with the gel directly onto the leaves of the plant.
In this way, the orchid absorbs all the nutrients from the aloe vera gel and can form and develop more roots. The leaf should also be passed over the stem of the plant so that it can absorb all the substances contained in the gel.
Another method to encourage the orchid to absorb the beneficial substances of aloe vera gel is to attach the opened leaf to the plant with a piece of plastic or a rubber band. This way it stays solid and rests on the stem and leaves.
The aloe leaf should be left until the gel dries. A precaution to be taken when tying the open leaf to the plant is not to overtighten it, but to tie it in a soft way that does not disturb the orchid. Using these methods, the plants will form new roots , ensuring abundant and lush flower production.
