Natural fertilizer made from rice and onions

Take half a small onion. Cut it into thin slices, including the peel. Pour 1 liter of boiling water over it. Cover the pot and let the onion steep for 24 hours.

Also, prepare 3 tablespoons of rice (any type). Place it in a separate container. Add 1 liter of room-temperature water and let it steep for 24 hours as well.

The next day, strain the mixture and combine the onion and rice water. Your 2-in-1 natural fertilizer is ready!

Orchid Fertilization (Roots and Leaves)

First, it’s advisable to wipe the leaves on both sides with this water. This helps prevent insects, aphids, mites, and other pests.

Also, fertilize your orchid with an onion and rice infusion. Place the pot in a container and water it thoroughly until the water drains out.

Cover the orchid’s leaf axils with cotton wool. Fill a spray bottle with water and spray the plant generously.

After half an hour, remove the cotton wool, place the pot outside, and allow the excess water to drain. Repeat this process once a week.

This promotes the growth of not only the roots but also the flower spikes! You’ll quickly notice the results. Don’t forget to pamper your orchid with natural fertilizer.
