One time or another, every orchid owner will face the problem when their favorite plant stubbornly refuses to bloom, although it has many bright green leaves and grows well. In this case you need to help your orchid to bloom. One way to achieve bloom is to water the flower with garlic and water.
Everyone knows about the beneficial properties of garlic. But not everyone knows that it is a great assistant in caring for various colorful plants, especially the orchids. Garlic improves the root system of flowers, stimulates growth and helps fight pests.
If the orchid is healthy (the leaves grow and you do not see any trace of pests) but firmly refuses to bloom – then you need this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 500 ml. water
- 6 cloves of garlic
- 1/2 an aspirin
Dissolve the aspirin in warm water. Scratch or press the garlic. When the liquid cools down, add it to the garlic. Put the liquid in a glass jar. Leave it to sit for 24 hours.
Before watering, dilute the infusion made with garlic in hot water. Do not worry about the unpleasant smell of garlic, it disappears after a few hours, and the orchids get the best from everything that is concentrated in the mixture.

This method should not be used more than a couple times a month, as well as in the period of plant latency or blossoming. If done properly, a new stem should appear within 14 days.

Thank you so much
