To keep your orchid alive and thriving longer, try this simple hack using an empty milk carton.
Orchids are sensitive plants that require minimal fertilization, and milk provides essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium that promote growth and blooming
To use this method, take an empty milk container, fill it halfway with water, and swish it around to create a diluted milk solution.
Water your orchid with this mixture once a week, making sure the soil is moist beforehand to prevent root burn
The general guideline is to apply a "weakly, weekly" approach, using a diluted solution frequently rather than a concentrated one.
This method not only nourishes the plant but also helps recycle spoiled milk, making it an economical choice
Additionally, using milk can enhance the appearance of orchids by providing a natural leaf shine, making them look vibrant and healthy.
