Orchids, zero-cost fertilizer: they have never been so lush

To increase its potency, let the infusion rest in the dark. Once prepared, apply the fertilizer to your plants alternating with regular watering. Basically, when using garlic-infused fertilizer, avoid wetting the leaves; Instead, focus on moistening the soil around the roots. Make sure there is no standing water after each application.

To check for any stagnation, examine the saucer where excess water collects during watering. Although leaving a little water in the saucer is acceptable for the plant to absorb, prolonged presence of water indicates overwatering. With nutrient-rich garlic infusion, moderation is key. It is recommended to use this fertilizer about once a week. However, keep in mind that the method presented is not the only means of applying fertilizer to your orchids. If your orchid has numerous aerial roots, consider using a spray bottle for targeted watering. Little by little, you will witness a transformation of your plant, especially the leaves, which will go from a dull gray to a vibrant emerald green.
