What is magic water for orchids?
We are talking about hydrogen peroxide. It is always worth choosing the one with a concentration of 3%, as it is the most effective. Turns out it works just as well on plants as it does on skin. Firstly, it will clean the flowers, and secondly, it will remove dangerous fungal and bacterial diseases. You can successfully use hydrogen peroxide prophylactically, as it will prevent root rot and pests. Even the substrate from the orchid store can harbor pest eggs or larvae. However, orchids in greenhouses can become prey for snails.
How to water flowers with hydrogen peroxide?
It is worth using this remedy in full at home. Especially if the flower has stopped growing or grows slowly, blooms poorly and loses its intense color. It is recommended to use hydrogen peroxide from the transplant stage. Simply pour hydrogen peroxide into a spray bottle and spray the plant roots. You should prepare a homemade watering solution throughout the orchid growing season. To prepare it, you need to mix hydrogen peroxide with water in a ratio of 1:4, and then water the orchids with this mixture once every 2 weeks. In this way, the flowers will be encouraged to grow.
