Why lemon juice is good for orchids
Lemon juice is rich in vitamins and minerals and comes into play in this context because it acidifies the soil, thus becoming the best source of food for the orchid.
Here’s how to use it in three very quick and easy ways, for which you don’t necessarily need a green thumb.
The ad hoc fertilizer prepared with water and lemon
