First we roast the sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes are a food source containing vitamin C, B5, B6, Manga and especially extremely rich potassium (K). While eating sweet potatoes, remember to leave the skin on. Then put the peel into the jar. Next, bake the eggshells for about 10 minutes. Put the egg shells in a mortar and pound them finely. Mix the crushed eggshells with the sweet potato peels. Then add 1 liter of boiling water and stir well. Cover and incubate for 3-5 hours so that the nutrients are dissolved into the water. After 3-5 hours of incubation, we filter out the residue. Add 3 liters of water to get orchid fertilizer solution.
4 ways to care for orchids with natural fertilizer.
METHOD 1: Water the lentils at the base of the orchid. The Potassium (K) content in this fertilizer helps orchids stay healthy, stimulates new buds, beautiful flower colors and long-lasting blooms. Potassium makes plants stronger, less susceptible to falling, and increases resistance to waterlogging, drought, cold, and pests. Calcium plays a role in stimulating root growth, making the plant stronger If you apply this method once every 2 weeks. Orchids will absorb maximum nutrients through their roots. Helps the roots grow strong and grow, allowing the plant to spread many new spikes.
METHOD 2: You can also spray this fertilizer on the entire orchid plant. Like foliar fertilization for orchids. When the weather is dry, plants lack water. The potassium in this water will help reduce the plant’s transpiration through the leaf surface, helping the plant avoid falling into a state of dehydration.
METHOD 3: Clean the top and bottom of the leaves. Clean the top and bottom of the leaves with this water. Helps kill fungi, insects, and harmful bacteria very effectively. If you apply this method 1-2 times a month, the leaves will always be green and pest-free.
METHOD 4: Apply the eggshell directly to the base of the orchid. This method helps effectively kill snails that damage orchids. As a result, many flower spikes grow on the same orchid. Flowers bloom in many bright colors, flowers bloom for a long time.
