Creating a Natural Fertilizer: Now, let’s delve into the miracle fertilizer made from garlic. The process is simple and effective.
Ingredients: Gather 4 cloves of garlic and hot water.
Infusion: Place the garlic cloves in hot water and let the infusion rest for a minimum of 24 hours, ensuring optimal nutrient absorption.
Enhanced Potency: For heightened potency, allow the infusion to rest in the dark.
Application: After preparing the garlic infusion, pour the appropriate amount onto your orchids. This natural fertilizer should be applied intermittently, alternating with regular watering.
Precautions:
Apply the garlic fertilizer directly to the soil, avoiding contact with the leaves.
Ensure there is no water stagnation each time you fertilize.
Monitoring Water Accumulation: Check the saucer regularly for water accumulation, allowing some water for the plant to absorb as needed. Prolonged water presence signals overwatering.
Frequency: Use the garlic fertilizer approximately once a week, taking care not to overuse this nutrient-rich infusion.
Aerial Roots Consideration: If your orchid has abundant aerial roots, consider using a spray bottle for precise watering.
