How to make fertilizer
For orchids that bloom year-round, use a natural fertilizer. Oats are a perfect ingredient; here’s how to prepare this incredible fertilizer:
- Take 1 tablespoon of oat flakes;
- Heat 300 grams of water;
- Place the oat flakes in the water and let the mixture sit for one night.
After the time has passed, put the mixture in a blender and blend until you get a whitish solution, then strain it with a sieve. After removing the oat residue, add more water to the solution, keeping a 1:2 ratio in mind. At this point, pour some fertilizer into a spray bottle, and you can start watering your orchids with this natural product.
Watering orchids with oat-based fertilizer
To water orchids with this excellent oat-based fertilizer, you should spray it on the leaves, both on the upper and lower parts, and on the soil carefully so that they absorb all the nutrients. However, avoid spraying the fertilizer on the flowers, as wet flowers can quickly rot.
