Pour coffee grounds over your orchids, here we tell you the three advantages of this simple practice. Let’s see together how and why to do it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The world of gardening<\/strong> is extremely vast and full of different notions to know. Anyone who has good gardening hands knows this well. To maintain a garden or simply take care of all the plants that we choose to decorate the house or balcony, a series of knowledge is necessary. <\/strong>Notions and awarenesses that accumulate over time through experience, practice and study. Taking care of the plant world and all its plants is one of the most complicated things: a certain consistency, regularity and precision is needed. <\/strong>. Offering the same care to everyone without distinction is wrong, each plant needs personalized care. There are certainly more \u201cindependent\u201d plants that require minimal effort. Many other plants, however, need specific and precise attention, otherwise they risk dying prematurely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a series of measures and precautions for our plants that we are unaware of and that can be a true panacea. One of them involves the use of coffee grounds. Let’s see together how they work.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Today we talk to you about the coffee grounds method in reference to a specific flower: orchids<\/strong> . Orchids have always been the most loved ornamental flowers. They make our home and our outdoor environments beautiful, harmonious and colorful<\/strong> . They are very fascinating plants also thanks to their origin: they arise in tropical or subtropical areas of Asia and America. Many species of orchids also grow spontaneously here in Italy, especially in mountainous areas. Orchids that come from very warm and tropical environments are predominantly epiphytic<\/strong> , and this means that with their roots they cling to those of other plants that thus become their support. The others, however, are called terrestrial. <\/strong>because its roots sink into the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The leaves of orchids are very particular, ribbon-shaped or oval and arranged alternately. Over the years we have been able to verify the spread of varieties of orchids also from places with colder climates, which have adapted to European climates. Botanists have also created orchid hybrids that are much less delicate and easier to reproduce. Thanks to this, today they are very popular and economical flowers, we find them almost everywhere. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Caring for orchids does not require impossible efforts, but it does require perseverance and dedication. <\/strong>You have to take into account its needs for water, sun, fertilizer<\/strong> , pruning, etc. Irrigation is essential care to see our orchids bloom and grow, as is exposure to the sun and temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The orchid soil should be watered every four days, taking care to keep it moist in the meantime. A good solution is to fill a plate with water and place it under the vase: the absorption will be constant and gradual. Exposure to light<\/strong> should be at least 8 or 10 hours a day, but not to direct sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes to fertilization<\/strong> , there are many different solutions, and today we offer you an unbeatable solution. We need to use a product that costs us nothing, coffee grounds. Let’s see together how and why we should do it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We have just seen how to care for orchids with the correct dose of water and light. A third essential element for the correct growth of orchids is fertilizer. <\/strong>Most people resort to purchasing unnatural fertilizers and spend a lot of money on liquid fertilizers sold in specialized stores. This is mostly an unnecessary expense: there are dozens of different solutions that require the use of natural and zero-cost products. One of them is coffee grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every day we prepare a lot of coffee and throw away the grounds without knowing that they can be very useful to us. Using coffee on orchids has the first advantage<\/strong> of the great help of this product, which has proven to be a truly excellent fertilizer<\/strong> for indoor plants. It manages to provide them with good amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus, potassium and magnesium.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A second benefit<\/strong> derived from coffee is that it can stimulate the growth of plants, also making them immune to many diseases<\/strong> , it is rich in nutrients that are very beneficial for orchids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The third advantage<\/strong> is the significant savings: no more money wasted on expensive chemical products that are offered to us as the only solution. You just have to pay attention to the dose<\/strong> : an excessive presence of coffee could be harmful. Here we explain how to prepare it and how much you need to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For your orchids you can create a liquid fertilizer made from coffee grounds. <\/strong>The first thing you should do is place the coffee grounds in a container with two liters of warm water. Then you should mix everything carefully and let it rest for a day or two in a place away from sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can then strain the mixture and use it as a solution to water your orchids. What we recommend is to implement this fertilization practice every 21 days if it is spring<\/strong> , when the first buds appear. In summer every seven days<\/strong> . In winter it is better not to fertilize them, since they are in a vegetative rest<\/strong> phase .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another way to fertilize orchids with coffee is to create potting soil by mixing one-quarter of coffee grounds with three-quarters of regular potting soil. With this trick you will enhance the beauty of your beloved orchids: nutrients are the key.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Warning: if your plants have been attacked by insects such as aphids or mealybugs, we do not recommend<\/strong> using coffee grounds. In fact, you could make the infestation worse. In addition, we strongly recommend that you let the soil and coffee mixture dry before using it, since introducing it wet could cause the appearance of mold of various types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So let it dry well in the sun and introduce it in a central layer, neither at the root nor at the top. It is not important to have good gardening hands:<\/strong> with these tricks that we have just listed, everyone will be able to take excellent care of their plants, it is not necessary to resort to impossible methods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pour coffee grounds over your orchids, here we tell you the three advantages of this simple practice.
