Treat bones this way as fertilizer, and orchids will love it too

Gnawing on bones is no longer a dog's exclusive privilege. Treat bones this way, and orchids will love it too!

Since ancient times, the Chinese tradition has been that "food is the first necessity of the people," and diet generally occupies a considerable proportion of our daily lives, so it is not hard to understand why households always produce a large amount of kitchen waste.

These things look completely useless, and many people choose to simply throw them away, little knowing that if you treat bones this way, orchids will love it too. It should be said that these bones are truly reliable helpers for growing flowers and fertilizing them.

So, what should you do when you come across this kind of bone-and-shell household waste? Today, the editor will personally teach you how to make phosphorus fertilizer from bones. First, we need to sort and wash bone-and-shell kitchen waste, including fish bones, seafood shells, eggshells and meat bones, and then process them to fertilize orchids, because these bone-and-shell items contain a large amount of phosphorus, which can speed up the growth of flowers and plants and promote the flowering period.

The specific processing steps: first rinse the bone-and-shell kitchen waste clean with water. Put it out under the blazing sun to dry, so that the moisture evaporates as much as possible. Use a machine to grind it into powder as much as possible, or burn it and then crush it, mix it evenly with other orchid potting medium, and sprinkle it onto the soil surface to use as a base fertilizer.

However, everyone must be sure to note that when using it, try to sprinkle it as far as possible from the orchid's root area, to prevent excessive fertilizer strength from burning the orchid and causing unnecessary losses.

Being able to use this cost-free material to grow orchids, with fairly good results, friends might as well give it a bold try.
