Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of seaweed extract or kelp solution
1 cup of water
A clean spray bottle
A small watering can or measuring cup (optional)
Directions:
Prepare the Solution: In a bowl or measuring cup, combine 1 tablespoon of seaweed extract or kelp solution with 1 cup of water. Stir the mixture until the seaweed extract is fully dissolved.
Apply the Solution to the Roots: Carefully remove your orchid from its pot, gently shaking off any excess soil. Pour the prepared mixture directly into the roots of the orchid, ensuring the solution is evenly distributed.
Re-pot the Orchid: After applying the solution, re-pot your orchid into its original pot, being careful not to disturb the roots. Make sure the potting medium is lightly moistened, but not soaking wet.
Wait and Watch: Over the next few weeks, you'll start noticing the roots grow stronger and the plant becoming healthier. This process helps rejuvenate the orchid's natural bloom cycle, resulting in an explosion of flowers.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Regular Care: Repeat the root treatment once every 3-4 weeks during the blooming season to ensure continuous growth and flowers.
Avoid Over-watering: Orchids prefer to dry out a little between watering. Be cautious not to overdo it, as too much water can cause root rot.
Store Leftover Solution: If you have any leftover seaweed extract solution, store it in a cool, dark place for up to two weeks. You can use the leftover mixture for other plants as well, as it is beneficial for most greenery.
