Perhaps few people know that potatoes are tubers with excellent properties even outside the kitchen. In particular, they are widely used in horticulture due to their excellent fertilizing properties. For example, potato peels can be added to ordinary soil as a natural fertilizer. Potatoes contain potassium, which helps plants to grow vigorously and luxuriantly, but above all it helps them during flowering. Even halved potatoes are often used to make cuttings of other plants such as roses or geraniums, thus acting as a real “incubator” for the development of the cutting’s roots. But now let’s see how this tuber, with its numerous properties, can help us make our orchids grow luxuriantly.
How to make orchid fertilizer from a potato
To make your own fertilizer for orchids, all you have to do is cut 20 grams of potatoes into pieces, put them in the blender and add a liter of strictly lime-free water. Run the blender until you get a smooth mixture. Filter the liquid using a sieve to remove any residue and pour it into a bottle using a sprayer.
Spray fertilizer
Now all you have to do is spray the mixture generously on the leaves and roots of your orchids twice a month to make the plant grow stronger and healthier. The best time to do this is in the morning or early afternoon. Of course, the remains of our homemade fertilizer can also be used for other plants, they will undoubtedly benefit a lot from it.
