Have you ever thought that many times the most effective remedies are the ones you can find in your kitchen without having to go out and buy specific products? Here’s how to make all-natural fertilizers at home by recovering the food waste you produce every day!

Orchid plants are our absolute passion, but do we see them as a little dull, dwindling, and wilted? Don’t worry, there is a remedy for everything. In fact, before buying prepared fertilizers or specific fertilizers, we can always opt for zero-cost homemade solutions by reusing waste or leftovers from our kitchen. In fact, did you know that one of the best plant fertilizers is prepared from onion peel? Let’s see together how to prepare three homemade fertilizers for orchids but also for all plants that need care in your home.

onion infusion

One of the most common and used fertilizers that can be prepared at home is undoubtedly onion fertilizers. Take two onions and remove the peel. At this point, put them in water with 500ml of water and let them boil for about 10 minutes. When the water browns, remove it from the heat. Let it cool and then filter it. At this point we add another 500ml to dilute it and mix well. Now our DIY fertilizer is ready to spray the soil on orchids.

with potato peels

If we want to use potato skin because we have just prepared a delicious side dish, here is the easy and quick method. Leave the skins to soak in plenty of boiling water for at least 4 hours. We then filter the liquid and once it has cooled completely, we use it to water the soil. If we wish, we can also use this water by placing it directly in the saucer.

With garlic and onion

If, on the other hand, we want to prepare a concentrate of garlic and onion to fertilize and also obtain a natural pesticide, we blend two cloves of garlic and a tablespoon of onion. Let’s dilute the mixed compound in boiling water and then filter this water. Let it cool and then we can reuse it to wet the soil
