Orchids always need regular care. Usually it is a fertilizer that improves the development and general condition of exotic flowers.
To avoid buying expensive fertilizer in flower shops, you can make it at home using two simple ingredients - lemon and water.
If you don’t have fresh lemon, you can replace it with citric acid, which is often found in every housewife’s kitchen.
Making lemon fertilizer for orchids
Take a liter jar, pour in 1 liter of warm water and add 1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice or 1 gram of citric acid, mix everything thoroughly.
The prepared homemade fertilizer should be used to water the flowers using the immersion method 1-2 times a month.
Just remember that the water should be slightly warmer than room temperature before watering.
This lemon fertilizer perfectly protects flowers from fungi and other diseases, and also greatly improves the plant’s immunity.
With proper and regular care of the orchid, it will delight you with beautiful, lush and bright flowering.
