Orchids are beautiful plants, but very capricious.

However, achieving abundant flowering can be quite difficult. But experienced gardeners know one simple secret that will help improve the condition of house flowers.

And you don't have to spend money. The thing is that one cheap drugstore product will help, which many can even find in their own home.

All rotten and dry roots should be removed. The cut areas should be sprinkled with crushed activated carbon to prevent infection from getting into the wounds. In addition, the product promotes the healing of wounds on the roots and stems of orchids.

The preparation can be used as an additive to the substrate. To do this, the tablets should be evenly distributed throughout the pot. As a result, air exchange will improve, excess moisture will go away, and the risk of rot and fungi will be reduced.

Some people also add tablets to the water when watering to improve the condition of the roots.

It is acceptable to use coal when spraying plants.
