Making a blue orchid from white or purple orchid fast and easy Did you ever wondered how is blue colour orchids are made. It is absolutely obvious that blue colour of orchids flowers is artificially created and not a result of mutation and hybridisation. So what is the growers trick to make them blue, because orchids leaves and roots are still look normal and without any blue pigmentation present. If for example blue dye was absorb through the substrate we would see it inside roots, but we do not. We know orchids are epyphites and absorb moisture directly from air through very unique velamen layer and suppose it can be very complicated or even plant destroying process to achieve blue flowers colour through the aerial root system. I can tell you it is done through the flowers spike and takes a lots of time, because this part of orchids grow and develop normally very slow up to 2-3 months from starting moment until blooming period. Blue dye can be absorb through small cuts or wound made for this purpose on orchid flowers spike or can be injected directly into Vascular system of orchids plant flower spike, a set of conductive tissues that allows to deliver blue pigment directly to all developing flowers and buds. Because of this time and labor consuming process dyed blue orchids market price normally 50% higher compare vs. natural colour. As a florist a have to use this orchids for many different orders and designing them for different occasions and I found that to buy already dyed blue orchids from growers even for wholesale price really expensive.
And I start to make them myself. It is much easier than you think if I use simple affordable different brands floral sprays. Some people actually think that chemical that are in the spray may hurt delicate orchids flowers, but orchids flowers just look delicate, but not really are. And I am conducting this experiment to prove it to you. #orchids #OrchidsForBeginners #OrchidsCare #phalaenopsis #PhalaenopsisOrchids #orchidsneverdie #orchidaceae #orchidrepotting #orchidroots #orchidspecies #wateringplants #growingorchids #orchidsinbloom
