Hello friends, Today, I share a simple and easy way to make natural fertilizer to care for orchids at home. Helps plants grow quickly, always have lots of flower buds, Many new flower spikes are growing.
Onion Power
The flowers will stay on the branches longer and stay beautiful all year round. We will use the peel of 1 onion. Contains a lot of nutrients, including many B vitamins and especially potassium, which helps orchids grow very quickly. Many nutrients such as vitamin C, zinc, quercetin, and flavonoids in onion skins always have very strong antibacterial and antiseptic properties. Helps plants increase resistance and is less susceptible to fungal disease. Put onion peels in a glass jar. Add 1 liter of boiling water and wait for this water to cool before using Before we fertilize, we also need to water, let the tissues relax, wet the substrate, then we water the fertilizer. If the growing medium is too dry, soak the entire orchid pot in water for about 30 minutes to keep the growing medium moist.
At that time, the root hairs will relax, making it easier for the plant to absorb and absorb many nutrients. Do the same with other orchids. With orchids that have withered or have been planted for a long time without flowers. Cut off flower stems. You should repot the plant and remove all the old planting material. The roots are still quite good, so we just need to let them dry naturally. The onion peel water has cooled. Filter out residue. Add onion peel water to soak all these roots for 15 minutes, helping new roots grow faster. This is very beneficial for taking care of weak and underdeveloped orchids, the roots will always be healthy, the plant will continuously develop new roots very quickly. Use this water to clean the leaves, help remove dirt and help the plant grow better when replanted. Helps plants photosynthesize better. Leave it like this for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, take the plant out and plant it in a new pot. Before planting, soak pine bark in water for 1-2 hours. The pine bark has enough moisture and can be planted normally In the dry season, add a layer of moss on top to retain moisture. With the remaining water, you can take care of orchids that have not flowered for a long time in the following 3 ways.
METHOD 1: Use onion peel water on orchid roots to help new roots grow faster. This is very beneficial for taking care of weak and underdeveloped orchids so the roots will always be healthy. The tree will continuously develop new roots very quickly Then take it out and place it in a place with light to help it photosynthesize and create chlorophyll, so the flowers will bloom more, more beautifully and brilliantly. Always remember to water before fertilizing all types of orchids.
METHOD 2: Using this water cleans the leaves, helps remove dirt and helps the plant grow better. Onion peels have antibacterial and antiseptic properties that help keep plants healthy.
METHOD 3: Using this water to spray on the leaves and roots helps prevent mealybugs, thrips and other spiders from clinging to orchid leaves. When this should be done early in the morning and by noon, these leaves will dry very quickly and will not affect the orchids. When you take good care of it, the orchid will grow many new spikes and flowers will bloom all year round I have created many subtitles, you can view and choose the appropriate language.
