Orchids are fragile and capricious houseplants that require special care.

In addition, they are quite sensitive to the environment. If such flowers do not feel comfortable, they may not bloom for a long time.

But if all the conditions are met, and the flowers still do not please with lush and beautiful flowers, then you can try to add additional fertilizer, which everyone can prepare themselves.

To do this, you just need to make a special “tea” that is saturated with phosphorus, potassium and calcium.
