If you also find yourself having to take care of an orchid that is struggling to hunt flowers , we have a solution to your problem. There is an ingredient that will save your plant. Ready to discover how to have a lush, healthy orchid capable of hunting flowers endlessly? Let’s get started right away.
First, we tell you that caring for an orchid is not as simple as it may seem. There are some precautions you need to take into consideration to ensure that your plant does not wither.
Did you know, for example, that direct sunlight can burn leaves and flowers ? Place it in a bright environment but where the plant is not hit by direct rays of sunlight.
Also regarding watering, be careful not to water it excessively. Learn to check the humidity of the soil : if you see that it is too wet, it means that the plant does not need water, otherwise, if the soil appears too dry to the touch, it is necessary to water it.
However, let’s now reveal the secret ingredient that will allow you to have an orchid capable of blooming flowers endlessly. Curious to know what it’s about? We’ll tell you right away. All you have to do is get the red lentils !
Yes, you read that right. These legumes with beneficial and extraordinary properties are rich in vitamins and nutrients that will give new life to your plant. How should you proceed? All you need to do is take a 250 ml glass and fill it with lentils which, rich in minerals and vitamins, especially group B , provide your orchid with all the nutrients it needs to grow healthy and lush.
The presence of magnesium, phosphorus and potassium in lentils also contributes to ensuring that your orchid also acquires a shine as well as a healthy appearance. But how should you use these lentils? In a very simple way.
Get a rather large glass jar into which you will pour two tablespoons of these legumes which you will cover with 500 ml of boiling water . Leave the lentils to soak for at least 6 hours so that all its properties are released into the water.
We will also need the remaining lentils. Place two teaspoons in a pan that you will place on a low heat . Leave them to toast for 5 minutes, then pass them in a blender to grind them.
A powder will be created which you will pour into a glass or plastic container . Take a teaspoon of this powder and pour it into a jug which you will then cover with a little boiled water (you will need about a liter).
Your fertilizer is ready! It is recommended to use it once every 15 days , in the early morning or early afternoon, these two are the time periods considered best for plant growth.
What happens instead with the lentils that we left to soak for 6 hours? You simply need to filter the water and then pour it into a spray bottle. Spray the product on the leaves which will immediately appear shinier and, within a few days, healthy and beautiful.
