Step 1: Prepare Garlic Water
Chop 1 clove of garlic and place it in a glass container with 300 ml of water.
Seal the container and let the garlic infuse for 4 hours.
After infusing, filter the garlic water for use.
Step 2: Eggshell and Moss Setup
Make a small hole at each end of an egg, empty it, and rinse the shell thoroughly.
Cut an orchid branch diagonally at one end to enhance water absorption.
Soak the orchid branch in the garlic water for 20 minutes, then gently clean it with cotton.
Moisten some moss with the garlic water, squeeze out excess, and fill the eggshell with it.
Insert the prepared orchid branch into the moss-filled eggshell.
Step 3: Create a Micro Greenhouse
Cut the neck off a small plastic bottle and place it at the bottom of a larger plastic container to act as a support.
Place the eggshell with the orchid branch inside the plastic container and add a bit of water to the bottom.
Seal the container to create a humid, enclosed environment.
