How to grow orchids. Discover the steaming method and learn how garlic can help you with it
Pest control: High sulfur garlic naturally repels pests such as spider mites, thrips, and aphids from orchid potting soil.
Fungicide: Garlic prevents the spread of fungi by inhibiting the development of spores, thus protecting the orchid from fungal infections.
Chlorophyll Strengthener: Garlic sulfur supports chlorophyll formation, protein synthesis, and amino acid formation, which are essential for orchid growth.
Considerations:
Concentration: Excessive use of garlic can impede the growth of orchids. High concentrations of garlic can damage the plant’s lipids and impair seedling growth.
Frequency of use: It is recommended to use garlic water in moderation, perhaps as a monthly preventive measure.
