Certain vegetables possess remarkable abilities, such as inducing orchids to produce stunning flowers.
Orchids and potatoes – an unexpected combination that gives surprising results! While it may seem unlikely, potatoes can promote the flowering of your orchid. Here’s why.
Why does potato stimulate orchid flowering?
Potatoes boast a wealth of nutrients, including potassium, phosphorus, glucose and starch, all of which are crucial for the robust growth of orchids. Potassium reinforces the cell walls of the flower, while phosphorus plays a vital role in its metabolism. Glucose and starch further nourish and strengthen the plant. Together they make up the magic formula for the flowering of your plant, the key to its success.
Practical application of the benefits of potatoes for orchids.
So, how can you take advantage of the advantages of potatoes for your orchid? There are several methods at your disposal. Peels can be turned into compost, although this decomposition process is quite slow, so patience is required. For a quicker solution, cut small pieces of unpeeled potato, cook them, and then incorporate them into the bark layer of the pot. For greater effectiveness, water with the cooking water from the potatoes as well.
