Caring for orchids requires a lot of effort. Therefore, it is worth remembering several solutions that will help these flowers bloom faster.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", a scientist, agronomist and landscape designer, told us how to feed orchids.
Epsom salt
Epsom salt is a compound of magnesium and sulfur that can greatly improve the flowering of orchids.
Adding just 1 teaspoon of Epsom salts to a quart of water will help the plant absorb nutrients and improve its overall health, resulting in more abundant and longer blooms.
Pure water with added carbon dioxide
Adding a small amount of baking soda or sparkling water will help provide plants with extra carbon dioxide, which will stimulate them to bloom.
Of course, you need to remember about reasonable concentration here, because it is still possible to cause serious damage to plants.
Adding coconut water
Coconut water is rich in vitamins and minerals that can be beneficial for orchids.
Adding a small amount of coconut water to your irrigation water will provide your plants with extra energy and nutrients, which can promote more intense and longer flowering.
Black tea
It contains tannins, which may have a beneficial effect on the growth and flowering of orchids.
Adding black tea extract to your watering water can help strengthen your plant's root system and stimulate bud formation, resulting in more abundant flowering.
