In today’s video, we delve into a simple yet effective method for caring for orchids, promoting their full development and ensuring brilliant blooms with longer-lasting flowers. Begin by using five spoons of rice and adding one liter of water to create a nutrient-rich rice water solution. Rice water is packed with Glucid and Protein, along with essential vitamins and minerals, fostering rapid root growth. Enhance its effectiveness by brewing rice water with banana peels, which contain amino acids and high protein levels, making it a potent aid for plant development.
Making the Miracle Fertilizer
To the rice water and banana peel concoction, add one spoon of eggshell, comprising over 90% calcium carbonate, amino acids, and protein. Rich in minerals like potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium, this mixture proves to be a cheap and effective miracle drug for orchids and other ornamental plants. After a week of brewing, dilute the fertilizer at a ratio of 1:10. The first method involves watering the orchid with this diluted fertilizer, providing nutrients that stimulate root growth, support budding, and encourage strong branching. Alternate its use with other organic fertilizers to diversify plant nutrients.
Methods for Application
Method 2: Spray Mist for Moist Orchids
Spraying the orchid with the diluted fertilizer mist helps keep the plant moist while washing away dirt and insects. This method enhances photosynthesis ability, promoting a rapid metabolism. It is recommended to apply this spray 1 to 2 times per month to facilitate optimal plant growth.
Method 3: Absorbent Cotton for Leaf Care
Using cotton to absorb the liquid fertilizer and wiping both the top and bottom of the leaves helps repel insects and protect against fungal and bacterial attacks. This method ensures that orchid leaves receive complete vitamins and nutrients, supporting photosynthesis and maintaining vibrant, healthy green leaves. Applying this method 1 to 2 times a month contributes to the overall health of your orchids.
Results: Thriving Orchids
After consistent application of the fertilizing methods, observe the impressive results. Orchid roots develop significantly, with many new roots emerging. When these roots absorb sufficient water and nutrients, healthy shoots sprout, promoting the growth of numerous flower buds. This fertilizer, proven to be safe for both you and your family, ensures the well-being of your orchids and other ornamental plants.
