An orchid is a capricious plant that requires constant care.

Common problems include wilting leaves, weakening roots and lack of flowering.

For this reason, the orchid needs fertilization - let's figure out how to properly feed this beautiful, but capricious flower.

First, let's deal with watering - first of all, we pay attention to the quality of water, and not the frequency of irrigation.

For this reason, you have to use the tap. In this case, it is better to use water that has undergone multi-stage purification.

Now let's move on to the fertilizer, which should contain half the carbon requirement so that the flower develops well and has the potential to bloom.

Take one teaspoon of lemon juice and one liter of water. You can also use citric acid - 1 gram per liter of water.

Mix the “feeding” with water and water the flower 1-2 times every three months.
