Cutting the Orchid:
With gloves on, use scissors to cut a branch or cutting from the orchid plant.
Disinfect the cut to prepare it for the propagation process.
Using the Potato-Garlic Mixture:
Filter the mixture to obtain a liquid nutrient.
Soak the orchid cutting in this substance to absorb the nutrients.
Planting:
After soaking, place the cutting in a pot filled with soil.
The cutting will start to develop and multiply in the following weeks.
