But how do you know there are any? What you need to do is check the saucer, this saucer which is used to  accumulate water from watering  . Remember that it is normal for some water to remain there, so that the plant absorbs it when it wants. It’s a bad thing, however, that it stays there for a long time: it means that we have overwatered our  orchid  . Especially with garlic infusion, which is rich in nutrients, you should never overdo it. Fertilizer is best used about  once a week  . Remember, however, that the way we have just illustrated is not the only way to water your plant with fertilizer. If your orchid has many  aerial roots  , in fact, it can be perfectly watered with a spray bottle. Little by little, we are sure that you will see your plant change and especially its leaves, which go from gray to emerald green.
