Orchid: this is the trick for abundant flowering and strong, shiny leave
One trick to have healthy roots and flowers is to use lemon , a citrus fruit that is often kept at home for its many uses, perfect for cleaning orchid leaves and especially useful for protecting this plant from diseases. In fact, lemon has a disinfectant action and keeps away all insects and parasites that can attack the plant. In addition, it is rich in potassium and vitamin C , useful for making orchid leaves grow greener and brighter.
However, it is important to know that lemon juice should not be poured directly onto the plant , because the citric acid it contains could damage it. The first thing you should do is dilute the lemon juice with water.
1st method
10 drops of lemon juice
200ml of water
Cotton pads or cotton swabs
Pour the lemon drops into a container containing water. Then, soak the cotton pad in the liquid and, after wringing it out, pass it over the leaves of the plant. The pad should be tightened to prevent the stem and leaves from absorbing excess water.
This procedure, which should be carried out only once a week , protects the plant from insects such as mealybugs or thrips .
