Orchids, the trick to make them last forever: never seen so exuberant and strong

Perhaps few know that potatoes are tubers with excellent properties even outside the kitchen. In particular, in gardening they are widely used for their excellent fertilizing properties. For example, potato peelings can be added to regular potting soil as  a natural fertilizer.
Potatoes contain potassium, which helps plants grow strong and leafy but above all helps them at flowering time.

Even  potatoes cut in half  are often used to create cuttings of other plants such as roses or geraniums, thus acting as a true “incubator” for the development of the roots of the cutting.
But now let’s see how this tuber with numerous properties can help our orchids grow luxuriantly.

How to use a potato to make orchid fertilizer

To make your own  fertilizer for orchids  , just cut 20 grams of potatoes into pieces, put them in the blender and add a liter of strictly non-calcareous water.

Turn on the blender until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Using a strainer, strain the liquid to remove any residue and pour it into a  spray bottle.

Now all you have to do is  spray  the mixture liberally on the leaves and roots of your orchids 2 times a month to make the plant grow stronger and healthier.

The best times for this procedure are in the morning or early afternoon. Obviously what is left over from our homemade fertilizer can also be used for other plants, they will undoubtedly  benefit a lot from it.
