- Preparation of Garlic Fertilizer:
- Take 4 cloves of garlic and peel them.
- Place them in a long-necked jar and pour 1.5 liters of water over them.
- Let stand for 24 hours, then strain the solution into a graduated container.
- Fertilizer Application:
- Use this garlic solution to water the plant once every 3 weeks. Be sure to moisten the soil well.
- Cleaning and Protecting the Leaves:
- In another container, mix 1 tablespoon of milk to 2 glasses of water.
Dip a cotton ball in this solution and gently wipe the leaves of the orchid. - The proteins in the milk will help protect the plant against pests and fungus, as well as give it a natural shine.
With this simple care, your orchid will not only bloom for a whole year, but will also be healthy and strong for a long time. Remember to follow other basic tips as well, such as porous soil type, proper sun exposure and avoiding excess stagnant water at the roots.
