‘I wish I knew that before all mine died’: Woman reveals the real reason your orchid dies after buying it from the store—and it has nothing to do with you

While orchids are a pretty plant, trying to make them grow isn’t easy. Luckily, it looks like TikToker Deanna (@deannabombchica) has cracked the code.

“God bless the woman on this app who told me that the orchid industry puts your orchids like this so they literally die and don’t grow again, and you have to throw them away and buy them again,” she began. While speaking, she showed users dry-looking orchids crammed into white pots.
