As is known, capricious orchids require regular care, including fertilizing, for abundant and long-lasting flowering.
An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told us about what savvy gardeners do when they don’t want to spend money on nutritional compositions from stores.
So, to prepare the fertilizer at home, you will only need lemon and water.
In the absence of citrus, it can be replaced with regular citric acid, which can probably be found on the shelf of a cupboard in any kitchen.
Fill a liter jar with water and add a teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. In the case of citric acid, you will need 1 gram.
Mix the contents of the container thoroughly and use the liquid for irrigation.
Important: to avoid causing harm to the flower instead of benefit, do not use the prepared fertilizer more than twice a month.
There is one more mandatory condition: before you start watering the flower at the root, make sure that the fertilizer was slightly warmer than room temperature.
