The orchid will surprise you with unprecedented flowering soon after using a remedy based on a pharmaceutical preparation.

The discovery was shared by fans of the plant, who are constantly looking for budget-friendly ways to make the orchid bloom all year round.

For example, the arsenal of indoor plant lovers includes tea leaves, coffee grounds, and aspirin.

They work with varying success, and some gardeners are convinced that they are of little use.

Experts have shared a more effective remedy. The irrigation solution is prepared on the basis of nicotinic acid, which is also called vitamin B3.

Use 1 ml of nicotinic acid per liter of water. Vitamin B3 is dissolved in water, mixed and watered at the root of the orchid.

Florists use nicotinic acid not only to stimulate flowering. The drug is used during transplantation. The vitamin is added when the orchid begins to wither: the leaves wither and the buds dry up.
