How to make orchid fertilizer at home

1. Homemade nitrogen fertilizer

Prepare a clean, light-transmitting container, then prepare some vegetable leaves, peanuts, or expired milk powder, grind them all into powder, and put them into the container. Then add water to two-thirds of the container's volume, and screw the lid on tightly so it is sealed. After that, put it in a well-lit spot, and once the liquid on top turns black, you can take it out and water the orchids with it. But note that before watering, you need to dilute it with water, and the concentration should not exceed 5%.

2. Homemade phosphorus fertilizer

Prepare some fish bones, pork bones, eggshells and other materials, put them into a container, then add some water and a small amount of fermentation agent. Then seal the container and wait for a period of time so the materials inside fully rot and ferment. After that, take out the clear liquid on top, dilute it with water, and it can be used as flower fertilizer.

3. Homemade potassium fertilizer

Prepare some leftover tea, add a small amount of fermentation agent to it, and after it fully ferments and decomposes, add some water to lower its concentration, and it can be used as potassium fertilizer for orchids. In addition, wood ash water can also be used as potassium fertilizer and applied to them.
