How to Apply the Solution to Your Orchids
Pour the prepared solution into a spray bottle.
Gently mist the orchid’s aerial roots and leaves.
Before applying the solution, ensure that the orchid’s soil is slightly moist. Water your orchid the night before application. If the soil is too dry, applying the solution can cause stress to the plant.
Spray the solution on the roots and leaves, but avoid letting water collect in the crown (the center of the leaves), as this can lead to rot.
After applying the solution, use a paper towel to remove any excess moisture from the crown.
For optimal results, use this solution twice a month. Additionally, you can mist your orchid’s roots with this solution every 2-3 days to maintain hydration and nutrient absorption.
Maintaining a Healthy Orchid Environment
Orchids thrive when their roots receive good air circulation. After applying the solution, slightly open a window to allow fresh air to enter. The cool breeze will help the plant absorb nutrients more effectively.
To encourage flower spike growth, keep your orchids in a room with temperatures around 17-18 degrees Celsius (62-65 degrees Fahrenheit). A slight drop in temperature triggers flowering, helping your orchid produce new flower spikes.
I started applying this care routine on March 1st, and since then, my orchids have responded wonderfully. I kept my window slightly open every day, allowing fresh air to circulate around the plants. As a result, my orchids have started growing new flower spikes and developing healthy roots.
