1. Prepare the rice water.
Cook the rice in plain water (without salt or seasoning). Once cooked, strain the water and let it cool completely.
2. Dose correctly
. You don’t need to use liters: just one tablespoon every 7-10 days is enough . You can pour it directly into the pot, near the roots, or use it as a foliar spray.
3. Repeat consistently
With regular application, you will see your orchids strengthen, the leaves become greener and, within a few weeks, they may even produce new flower stems.
Other little tips for making orchids bloom again
- Avoid standing water , which damages the roots. It’s best to spray or use the immersion method.
- Light yes, but not direct : place them near a well-lit window, but avoid intense sunlight.
- Clean the leaves : remove dust and residue to promote photosynthesis.
- Check the pot : if the plant is too narrow, consider repotting it with bark specifically for orchids.
