In the hottest months of the year we must not forget to take care of orchids. Instead, we can take advantage of 3 nursery gardeners’ tricks to care for and water orchids in summer and see them bloom quickly in just a few steps. On the other hand, with rising temperatures and scorching heat, orchids are also suffering. Therefore, it will be necessary to put into practice some tricks to protect them and not let them die.

First of all, you must immerse the orchid (with the vase) in a container of water. Leave it for 15 minutes and then remove it. This procedure will help the plant absorb all the water it needs. In the case of long trips and summer vacations, it is advisable to let the plant soak for approximately an hour.

At this point, we are going to see the 3 tricks of nurserymen to care for and water orchids in summer and make them bloom again quickly without the need for fertilizers.

In summer, the orchid will need fairly high humidity. However, water should never get the roots too wet. Therefore, it is advisable to add expanded clay to the soil. This way the habitat will remain moist without damaging the roots.

In addition, it must be remembered that the plant should be watered once a week and in case of strong heat and muggy conditions, it is advisable to water it twice a week. Be careful, never use cold water to water orchids because it could cause thermal shock that is harmful to the stem, leaves and flowers. Better to water with water at room temperature.

Lastly, eggshells are truly wonderful. Heat a liter of water and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, crush the eggshells. Turn off the heat, submerge the egg shells and leave overnight. Then, filter the water and pour it into a container. Water the soil once a week. This mixture would provide a good dose of calcium, potassium and protein to the plant.
