Sugar provides the orchid with necessary nutrients through a process called photosynthesis. This process helps plants convert the energy they absorb from sunlight into sugary substances. Water and glucose promote cell generation in the tropical plant. Sugar promotes healthy growth of plants which will have a long lifespan.
In addition, the water/glucose mixture is a natural fertilizer capable of causing the death of parasites, mosquitoes, mealybugs, ants and aphids. Sugar provides all the extra nutrients to ensure the orchid has vigorous roots but also beautiful, healthy and strong leaves. As an alternative to sugar, you can make vitamin B and activated charcoal powder.
