Florists who find life boring after the end of the summer cottage season can turn all their attention to indoor plants.

With just one orchid you have to work hard to wake up this beauty and make it bloom.

But for experienced flower growers, everything blooms on time and there are no disruptions in the schedule.

How to make an orchid bloom

One of the conditions on which the appearance of flower buds depends is a high-quality substrate.

It is also important to follow the watering regime and feed the plant on time.

Otherwise, even the most capricious plant can be made to bloom with just one penny additive.

You will need only five tablets of activated charcoal, which need to be crushed into powder.

Then add it to the substrate in which the orchid grows, water it and you can expect it to wake up soon.

The trick is that charcoal helps to avoid diseases and at the same time absorbs excess moisture.

It is enough to fertilize just once a month so that the flower has enough nutrients necessary for development and flowering.

For reference

Orchids are the largest family of monocotyledonous plants, which appeared in the late Cretaceous era.
