If you do this, the orchid will bloom for a whole year: nurserymen also recommend it

Additional Tips for Orchid Care

While the disclosed tricks secure an annual bloom and enhance your orchid’s health, other recommendations contribute to its longevity:

1. Porous Soil: Ensure the orchid grows in porous yet well-hydrated soil.
2. Sun Exposure: Place the orchid in sunlight but shield it from direct exposure to prevent leaf burns.
3. Water Drainage: Prevent root rot by avoiding stagnant water around the roots.
4. Natural Fertilization: Besides garlic, products like eggshells (rich in calcium and phosphorus) and baking soda (in moderation) can fertilize the soil effectively.
