FAQs
Q: Why does banana peel help orchids bloom more?
A: Banana peels are rich in potassium, phosphorus, and calcium—minerals that are crucial for flower development and overall plant health. Soaking peels releases these nutrients gently to feed your orchids naturally.
Q: Can I use store-bought honey or vinegar?
A: Opt for raw, unprocessed honey and organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar for best results. These contain beneficial enzymes and nutrients absent in processed products.
Q: How often should I water orchids with this mixture?
A: Every 7-10 days is sufficient. Overwatering can harm orchids by causing root rot. Adjust based on your home's humidity and orchid species.
Q: Will this recipe work for all orchid types?
A: Yes, most common orchids like Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium, and Cattleya respond well, but adjust watering frequency based on species-specific needs.
