Lush orchids
You probably don’t know it, but there are things you can do to have lush, long-lasting orchids. Once you do this, everyone will want to know what you use to have beautiful plants and lush blooms. Let’s find out what you need to do to keep orchids blooming for a long time!
The orchid is an elegant and sophisticated plant
The orchid is elegant, sophisticated and can keep its flowers on the branches for up to six months. It is a plant that, if cultivated carefully and watered when necessary, gives great pleasure and lasts a very long time.
Orchids
A secret to making this plant last long is using the right fertilizer, which must provide it with all the nutrients it needs for healthy growth.
With a special fertilizer, such as a wheat flour-based fertilizer, you can nourish the orchids and keep them blooming for longer than ever before.
The fertilizer based on this ingredient is also excellent for recovering dead orchids, whose withered leaves are already doomed. Below you will learn how to prepare fertilizer with wheat flour.
Fertilizer with wheat flour
Making fertilizer from wheat flour is easy and inexpensive. This product costs little and is easily available. Here’s what you need and how to prepare the right fertilizer for your orchids:
1 tablespoon wheat flour;
1 liter of boiled water.
Put the spoonful of flour in a glass jar and add the boiled water. Stir with a spoon and wait until it cools. Close the jar with the lid and wait a while. Then open it and mix the solution again. Once the mixture has cooled, strain through a sieve and pour into a plastic jug.
Add enough water to the filtered liquid to make 3 liters of solution. At this point the fertilizer is ready for use. Here are some ways you can use this product to keep your orchids growing lush and blooming for a long time.
How to use fertilizer for orchids
Once you have made your fertilizer with wheat flour, you can use it in a variety of ways to get beautiful and long-blooming orchids. Here’s how:
With the cotton pad
Use a cotton pad, like the one you use to remove makeup, to apply the wheat flour fertilizer to the orchids. Dip the disk in the liquid obtained, squeeze it slightly and carefully and carefully clean the leaves in both the upper and lower parts.
This removes insects and fungi that can affect plants and cause dangerous diseases in orchids. In addition, with these applications you provide plants with the nutrients they need to grow and develop, while increasing their flowering.
Repeat the application after two weeks and you will see that the orchid leaves remain green and shiny.

With a spray bottle
Another way to use fertilizer made from wheat flour is to pour some of the solution into a spray bottle and spray it evenly on and under the leaves.
Be sure to apply fertilizer to all areas to ensure the entire plant is provided with the nutrients it needs for lush growth. The effect of this method is the same as that of the cotton pad, but it is more practical to perform.
Water the base of the plants
The third way to use the fertilizer obtained is to irrigate the base of the orchids. Using a small jug, pour the liquid onto the soil around the base of the plant and you’re done. To better absorb the liquid, immerse the pot in a container with fertilizer and leave it for 1 hour. Repeat the treatment every two weeks. Your orchids will bloom like crazy!
