Orchids are cheap, easily available and have beautiful, colorful flowers. No wonder they are so popular and can be seen on the windowsill of almost every home. The plants are also called orchids. The most common varieties are those with pink or white inflorescences, but there are also yellow, orange, red and even greenish ones.
How to Water Orchids to Make Them Bloom? They Need Three Ingredients to Grow
They come from humid tropical forests, so they have their own requirements. First of all, they need proper watering (always use settled, filtered water) and fertilization. You have to feed them what they eat in their natural environment. The nutrient should be rich in phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen.
These three ingredients strengthen the roots, encourage flowering and make the leaves perfectly green. You don’t have to buy special mixtures in the store. Make them from leftovers that you have at home.
ADVICE! Orchids should be fertilized every 2-3 weeks. Otherwise, you will salt the substrate. The plants will not be able to properly absorb nutrients.

Dry in the oven and put in a pot. This is the best fertilizer for orchids
Banana peels work best for orchids. They contain potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, silicic acid and vitamins. They have a very good effect on the growth of flowers. You can use them in two ways:
- Make ecological liquid fertilizer. Wash two bananas under running water and remove the peels. Put them in a jar and pour a liter of warm water over them. Close the jar and leave it in a shady place for 2 days. After that time, remove the peels and water the orchid with the resulting mixture.
- Prepare powdered conditioner. Cut the peels into small pieces and dry them in the sun or in the oven. Then throw them into a blender and blend. Pour 3 tablespoons of the resulting powder into the pot and mix with the top layer of soil.
