If you feed your orchid this way it will bloom for 4 seasons: never before
If you want your orchid to bloom consistently throughout all four seasons like never before, there’s a simple method you can rely on. Here’s how.
As spring ushers in a vibrant display of nature, with flowers and plants reclaiming their spaces, many seek to enhance their gardens and indoor environments with the most captivating blooms. Among these, the orchid stands out as a stunning flower that adds a burst of color to any room. Orchids are often chosen to adorn apartments, offices, and various workplaces not only for their beauty but also for their enchanting fragrance that fills every corner of the space.
To ensure your orchid blooms profusely throughout the year, it requires consistent care in watering and nourishment. While many opt for commercially available fertilizers, a more natural, economical approach is recommended.
Begin by placing five tablespoons of rice in a bowl and adding 500 ml of room temperature water. Mix the rice thoroughly in the water, then transfer the mixture to another container and strain it through a sieve.
Soak a cotton pad in the rice water solution and gently apply it to both the upper and lower surfaces of the orchid leaves to cleanse them of fungi and insects while providing essential nutrients for growth. Repeat this process every two weeks to promote robust, lush growth of your orchid.
Alternatively, you can pour the rice water solution into a spray bottle using a funnel and mist the leaves, ensuring thorough coverage while avoiding contact with the flowers to prevent damage.
For additional nourishment, pour a small amount of rice water onto the orchid soil every two weeks to supply essential nutrients to the roots.
You’ll soon discover the remarkable benefits of rice water for your orchid, fostering flourishing growth and transforming your space into a captivating natural spectacle.
To avoid waste, freeze any excess rice water for future use, ensuring it’s brought back to room temperature before application to provide continued nourishment for your orchids.
