Thanks to this simple trick, you can create a dream garden: orchids will bloom everywhere! Let’s find out how to do it together.

There is nothing better than a  beautiful, well-kept, welcoming garden  full of colourful flowers. Flowers put everyone in a good mood, they are a delight for the eyes, the nose and the spirit. According to statistics, in Italy,  the most popular flowers are roses, orchids, tulips and sunflowers.  Today, let’s see together how to make our garden  an oasis of orchids.

For the uninitiated, orchids are natural flowers in different beautiful colors. Their color varies according to the pH of the soil in which they are planted. It also varies according to where they come from.  There are white orchids, purple orchids, orange orchids, pink orchids, yellow orchids.  Or again, richly colored orchids. A huge variety that allows you to color the garden with your favorite color.

Gardening – a rigid business

Those with a green thumb know it well: plant care is  a very complex activity  that imposes some strict rules. If certain rules are not followed, the desired results cannot be successfully achieved. Each plant and flower of any species requires  specific, “personalized” and targeted treatments,  and if not applied, they could die in a short time.

In order to maintain the vigour and beauty of our flowers we must pay attention to  a number of factors:  the amount of water to be injected during the day, exposure to the sun, fertilisers and much more. Each individual species requires unique and specific care. It is therefore essential  to respect the cycles and parameters of each individual species:  only in this way can we offer the best treatments and, consequently, enjoy their beauty.

It is important to remember that it is not just about sun exposure, water and fertilizer: there are tricks and solutions that  can completely revolutionize the way we do gardening.  The trick we are talking about today belongs to this category: a particular solution, little known but extremely effective. Let’s find out together  how to fill the garden with beautiful orchids  using this particular method.

With this method your garden will be invaded by orchids

Using this trick you will certainly be able  to make orchids bloom in your garden  . It is a little-known method and not very popular because it is  new  in this area. The purpose of this procedure is to create  a very strong fertilizer for orchids  . What you need to bring this magical fertilizer to life  is ginger and seaweed, called nori seaweed. 

Nori seaweed  is known to be a very versatile, nutritious and healthy food. In Japan it is widely used, both in the food and gardening sectors. Even in Italy it is already a common food and we can find it in  many stores  . Few people know that seaweed is an excellent material to create a fertilizer for plants, especially for orchids. Nori seaweed and ginger work wonders.  Let’s see together how to use it in the best possible way.

Seaweed and ginger: use them like this

Using these two ingredients correctly we can create a sensational fertilizer to help our orchids grow and bloom abundantly throughout the year. The first step is  to obtain a “sheet” of nori seaweed  ,  15 or 20 grams of fresh ginger  and  a liter of water  at room temperature. The second step is to put everything into a  blender  and run it until it creates a puree. Then it will be necessary  to filter  the puree to remove all the residue and keep only the liquid part of the mixture.

This is the fertilizer  , let’s see how to use it. The first method is to dip  cotton balls  into the resulting liquid and rub them on the top and bottom of the orchid leaves. Ginger has  antiseptic properties and will help remove fungi  and parasites from the plants. In addition, ginger and orchids contain many minerals essential for plant growth. The orchid will absorb some  nutrients  directly through the leaves.

With this method the leaves will  always remain green,  but only if we clean them regularly. In fact, when we clean them we help them to open their stomata and the  exchange between oxygen and carbon dioxide  will be much easier. The orchid will synthesize chlorophyll more smoothly. The result will be a  robust and strong orchid with thick and brightly colored flowers  . The operation of cleaning the leaves should be carried out at least once a month.

With the ginger and nori seaweed fertilizer you can also  water the soil:  the plant will absorb  nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium  . A full range of nutrients necessary for the healthy growth of orchids. This contributes to the plant producing more flowers:  the effect is to reduce the stress of the plant,  helping it to resist the effects of UV rays and inhibiting the growth of bacteria and molds. Thus, orchids will be protected from  pests, fungi and bacteria  and will grow profusely all year round.
