What to do, how to water an orchid so that it blooms
After you bring an orchid from the store, it blooms for several months. And then, instead of blooming again after a certain rest, it begins to wither.
What to do to make an orchid bloom
Experts advise “watering” the orchid with ice and adding pieces of ice to the flower pot from time to time. In this way, the plant is forced to be under stress, after which it begins to actively bloom.
Flower growers also suggest feeding the plant with homemade fertilizers.
How to water an orchid for lush flowering
Banana peel infusion
They contain a lot of phosphorus, nitrogen and magnesium. Banana infusion accelerates photosynthesis; after using it, the leaves of the plant become shiny and the flowers more vibrant.
To prepare the infusion, pour washed banana skins with boiled water cooled to 40 degrees. Cover with a lid and place in a dark place for three days. Strain the infusion and dilute with water in a one to one ratio.
You can water a plant in a pot with an infusion of banana peels, soak the roots in it for 10 minutes if they grow not attached to the substrate, and also spray the aerial roots with it.
Decoction of onion peels
