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