Orchids rarely bloom and can even get sick if you don’t provide them with the most necessary things.
Compassionate housewives sincerely worry when flowers get sick. In this case, you can try folk fertilizers.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told what housewives use for watering.
It is known that orchids like succinic acid, but you still need to buy it.
In extreme cases, you can use soda instead of fertilizer. They say that even a sick plant comes back to life after such watering.
In addition, watering with soda allows you to regulate the flowering of orchids, making this phenomenon not so rare.
How to proceed
Of all the additives, you will only have to use baking soda.
It can be used if the orchid has stopped blooming, growing, is sick or affected by fungus, and so on.
For one liter of water you will need one tablespoon of baking soda.
Wait until it dissolves and apply the mixture to the roots and leaves.
What is the power of soda?
Soda will help regulate the pH balance of tap water, making it optimal.
As a result, the orchid roots will be able to absorb nutrients more effectively, due to which they will begin to develop, and along with this, the flower will begin to grow again, and buds will soon appear.
As for diseased plants, water with soda will help to cope with fungus and bacteria, and reduce the risk of developing infections.
The leaves of a healthy plant will become brighter and there will be more buds.
