Default honey as nutrient for a catt

As I wait for my catt to do something, (roots or growth would be nice) I search online to see what works for some people in saving a rootless cattleya. I've ordered KLN online from a local place, but little did I know they're on vacation until Thursday.

Something that came up online was honey:

For a few hours each day, or overnight each night, set the plant in a container of water deep enough to completely cover the rhizome. Even without roots, it will absorb water. And if you include water-soluble nutrients when you do this, they will be absorbed also. One of the simplest and most directly beneficial foods to use for this purpose is honey. Dissolve enough in the water to make it an amber color, rinse the rhizome off when you’re done, and it’s that simple. Plain sugar works also, but it promotes mold.

When it’s not sitting in water, put the plant in the bag with the moist sphag and hang it directly under a fluorescent light or set it in a pot of wetter sphag and put it in a sunny window sill.


Any thoughts on this?
