Orchids: The foolproof trick to make them bloom non-stop and be more lush than ever

If you don't have banana peels, you can substitute them with well-washed potato peels (rich in potassium and starch), although the effect won't be as long-lasting as with bananas.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Does this trick work for all orchids?
Yes, but it's especially effective on Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium, and Cattleya. Make sure you adjust your watering to the specific needs of each type.

Can I harm my orchid if I use this mixture more often?
Yes. Excessive nutrients can cause root burn or promote fungal growth. It's best to continue applying it every two weeks.

What if it doesn't bloom even with this trick?
Make sure the orchid receives enough indirect light, that the substrate drains well, and that there's a temperature difference between day and night to induce flowering.

Can I combine this trick with commercial fertilizer?
Yes, but you should reduce the dosage of commercial fertilizer by half and alternate applications. Never use them on the same day.
