Why Onions Are Great for Orchids:
Onions are rich in sulfur, potassium, and calcium, which are essential nutrients for plants. These nutrients:
- Stimulate root growth
- Boost flower production
- Improve overall plant health
By using onions as a natural fertilizer, you can help your orchid absorb more nutrients and thrive in its environment.
How to Use Onion Water for Your Orchid:
Ingredients:
- 1 medium onion
- 1 liter of water
- A blender or grater
- A strainer
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Onion
- Peel one medium onion and chop it into small pieces. Onions contain important nutrients that are released when blended or grated.
Step 2: Blend the Onion
- Place the chopped onion in a blender with 1 liter of water. Blend until smooth. If you don’t have a blender, you can grate the onion finely and mix it into the water.
Step 3: Strain the Mixture
- Use a fine strainer to separate the onion pulp from the liquid. You’ll be left with onion-infused water, which will be the natural fertilizer for your orchid.
Step 4: Dilute and Water the Orchid
- Dilute the onion water by mixing 1 part onion water with 2 parts plain water. This ensures the mixture is gentle enough for your orchid.
- Water your orchid with this onion mixture once a month during the growing season. Make sure the water is at room temperature to avoid shocking the plant.
