Orchids are exquisite and beautiful plants that can decorate any interior.
However, in order for them to please the eye with their bright and long-lasting flowering, they need to be provided with proper care and nutrition.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told whether it is possible to fertilize orchids with orange.
Let's consider one unusual way of feeding orchids - using orange. We will learn how to properly use this fruit to stimulate lush and long flowering of plants.
Orange water - a substitute for ascorutin
Orange water is an excellent substitute for ascorutin, which contains vitamins C and P, which are necessary for the health of orchids.
It can be used to feed and improve the color of houseplants, including orchids. The process of preparing such a feed is quite simple. You will need the peel of one orange, which should be chopped in a blender.
Then the mixture is poured with a liter of water and left to infuse for 24 hours.
The resulting fertilizer should be filtered and used to water orchids. If the substrate contains pine bark, the plant can be placed in this water for 10 minutes.
Orange Juice for Nourishment and Brightness
Another way to feed orchids with orange is to use orange juice. To do this, take 5 ml of orange juice and dilute it in a liter of water.
The resulting solution can also be used to nourish and improve the color of plants. Orange juice contains many useful substances that promote healthy growth of orchids and make their flowers brighter and more saturated.
Ascorutin - a source of vitamins for orchids
The third method of feeding orchids with orange is the use of ascorutin. Several tablets of ascorutin are dissolved in a liter of water.
This solution also contains vitamin C and P, which are beneficial for orchids.
It helps to stimulate growth and improve the flowers of plants. With any of these methods, you can achieve positive results in growth and improved flower color in just a few days.
