Treat your orchid once a week with this wonderful natural fertilizer! It will not only nourish the plant but also protect it from diseases and pests.

In such conditions, the orchid feels very comfortable and begins to quickly grow, develop, and produce new flower stalks!

Natural fertilizer made from rice and onions

Take 1/2 a small onion. Slice thinly, skin included. Pour 1 liter of boiling water over it. Cover and let sit for 24 hours.

Also prepare 3 tablespoons of rice (any kind). Place it in a separate container. Add 1 liter of room temperature water and let it sit for 24 hours.

The next day, strain and mix the onion and rice water. Your natural 2-in-1 fertilizer is ready!

Fertilizing orchids by roots and leaves

First of all, it’s great to wipe both sides of the leaves with this water. This is an excellent preventative against scale insects, aphids, spider mites, and other pests.

You should also feed the orchid with an onion-rice infusion. Place the pot in a container and water it generously until the water drains out.

Cover the orchid’s leaf axils with cotton wool. Pour water into a spray bottle and spray generously.

After half an hour, remove the cotton wool, take the pot out, and drain the excess water. Repeat this procedure once a week.

This will stimulate not only root growth but also flower stalks! You’ll notice the results quite quickly. Be sure to pamper your orchid with all-natural fertilizer!
