Benefits of Cucumber
Cucumbers contain many nutrients such as potassium, phosphorus and nitrates which can help provide energy for orchids. When eating cucumbers, don’t rush to throw away the peel. Add 300ml of water, pureed the cucumber peel and filtered out the residue. Then add water to get 3.5 liters of liquid fertilizer solution.
FIRST METHOD: Place thin slices of cucumber on the top side of the leaf The way nutrients from cucumbers will be absorbed directly into the leaves This method also helps replenish moisture and restore withered leaves. You can also put cucumbers at the base of the orchid every evening Slimy slugs and small snails love cucumbers, After 1 hours, they will come to eat cucumbers instead of eating orchid roots. Doing this a few times will remove the slimy slugs and small snails. 1 hour later, remove the cucumbers from the leaves and orchid roots You can wipe the leaves with clean water to remove dirt As a result, the leaves will become plump and green
SECOND METHOD: Apply cucumber gel to the top and bottom of the leaves. This helps replenish nutrients through the leaves and retain moisture very well. Helps leaves stay green and strong. This method also helps kill harmful insects and fungi on leaves very effectively. Doing this 1-2 times/month will increase disease resistance.
THIRD METHOD: Now apply this liquid fertilizer to the roots of this orchid 1-2 times a month. Cucumbers have the ability to control soil pH, helping to increase acidity or alkalinity depending on soil conditions. This can help orchids grow stronger depending on their pH requirements. Add a little moss for better moisture retention in winter.
RESULT: After 1-2 months of using this liquid fertilizer, the orchid will produce many new roots. Roots will help maximize nutrient absorption because most nutrients are absorbed through the roots. When absorbing enough nutrients, the orchid will produce many buds. Each orchid can produce many flower branches on the same tree. The flowers bloom brightly and stay on the branches for a long time before fading. Combining the use of other types of organic fertilizers like the videos I have shared will help the orchid bloom continuously. Orchids bloom wave after wave all year round.
