DIY Blue Orchid - How blue Phalaenopsis Orchids are made

Today we are attempting to transform a white Phalaenopsis orchid into a blue one and we actually succeed!

Blue Phalaenopsis orchids are on the market for quite a while now and people always have a fascination for them. Many of them have no idea these orchids are noit naturally blue, so today I will try and color a white orchid with blue food dye.

The procedure implies making a puncture wound in the flower spike and providing blue dye to the area so it enters the sap flow of the spike.

I managed to provide this and the result is quite the blue flowered orchid, but since paint dripped inside the pot, the leaves have a blue tint too, which is not desired. But the result is quite striking and now you know what you pay for.
