Perhaps few people know that potatoes are tubers with excellent properties even outside the kitchen. They are often used particularly in horticulture due to their excellent fertilizing properties. For example, potato peels can be added to ordinary soil as a natural fertilizer. Potatoes contain potassium, which helps plants grow strong and lush, but most importantly it helps them during flowering. Even halved potatoes are often used to make cuttings of other plants such as roses or geraniums, acting as a real “incubator” for the development of the cutting’s roots. But now let’s see how this tuber, with its numerous properties, can help our orchids grow lushly.
How to make orchid fertilizer from a potato
To make your own fertilizer for orchids, all you have to do is cut 20 grams of potatoes into pieces, put them in the blender and add a liter of strictly lime-free water. Run the blender until you get a smooth mixture. Filter the liquid using a sieve to remove any residue and pour it into a bottle using an atomizer.
