However, the fertilizers used must be rich in nutrients.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you use some of these homemade fertilizers, you will provide your orchids with\u00a0<strong>the necessary nutrients<\/strong>\u00a0that are the key to abundant flowering and healthy growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don&#8217;t need expensive fertilizers from the store. All you need are ingredients you can find at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The best homemade fertilizers for orchids<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Rice water:\u00a0<br><\/strong>Water from boiled rice can be used as a fertilizer because it contains a large amount of minerals that strengthen orchid roots. Simply let the unsalted rice water stand at room temperature and then water your orchid with it once every 14 days.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Coffee grounds<br><\/strong>Contains nitrogen, potassium and many other minerals that are beneficial for orchids. First, it is important to let the coffee grounds dry. Then, take a small amount and mix it into the substrate. We only use it once a month, as it could cause the soil to become too acidic.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garlic infusion\u00a0\u00a0<br><\/strong>Garlic can support the orchid&#8217;s immunity and also has antibacterial properties. Take 1 clove of garlic, crush it and add it to 1 liter of water. Let it steep for 1 day. Then strain and use it as a water spray once a month.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eggshells<br><\/strong>They are rich in calcium, magnesium. They help support the strength of the plant structure and support cellular processes. First, dry the shells thoroughly and crush them into a powder. Take a very small amount and mix it into the substrate. Another option is to pour hot water over the shells and let them soak overnight. Drain and use as a dressing.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Onion infusion<br><\/strong>Onion can be beneficial for orchids in a similar way to garlic. It helps prevent rot and stimulates flowering. First, chop the onion, then pour hot water and let it steep for 12-24 hours. Strain through a sieve and use as a watering can. Pour directly to the roots. Use every 3-4 weeks.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Share the best homemade orchid fertilizers with your friends!
