Welcome! To help you have many choices when caring for orchids at home with organic fertilizer. I’ll continue to share new methods. Now, let’s get started.
To make this type of organic fertilizer you need black tea (or green tea)
I use 2 teaspoons of black tea. Add 1 liter of boiled water. Incubate until the water cools. After the water cools, filter to remove sediment. Next add 1-2 tablespoons of baking soda then stir well. Add water to make 3 liters of black tea solution. 3 ways to care for orchids with black tea or green tea.
METHOD 1: Water this fertilizer solution on the orchid roots. Black tea contains many minerals and organic substances that help provide nutrition to orchids. It contains nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, important nutritional elements for orchid growth. Baking soda (bicarbonate soda) has the ability to increase the PH level in orchid pots, This is helpful in reducing acidity if you use too much chemical fertilizer. Baking soda has the ability to kill insects and fungi that are harmful to plants.
METHOD 2: Spray this fertilizer on the entire orchid plant. This method is similar to using foliar fertilizer. You can use it as a natural pesticide to protect orchids from insects and diseases.
METHOD 3: Clean the leaf surface with this fertilizer solution. The leaf surface will always be clean and the stomata will not be clogged. Orchids will photosynthesize better.
RESULT: Plant roots are protected and supplemented with nutrients so they grow very healthily. Because they are provided with enough nutrition, the flowers bloom more brilliantly. Many flowers bloom on the same branch. The flowers stay on the branches for a long time before fading.
