Use this beloved ingredient to get the orchids in your home blooming in the blink of an eye.

For many people, getting orchids to bloom is a challenge. Here’s how to easily make it with a special ingredient.

Orchids are probably the most elegant houseplants. They give any environment a delicate pop of color and really look good anywhere. Many times, however, they are brought home in bloom, but it is difficult to keep them lush. Not everyone knows that with a specific ingredient it’s easy to make them bloom luxuriantly and in no time. Let’s see what it is.

How to Get Orchids to Bloom at Home

Known as the quintessential houseplants, orchids have experienced a real boom in recent years. In fact, if until a few years ago they were expensive and very difficult to grow, thanks to the arrival of hybrid and easy-to-grow plants, they have become more commercial and consequently cheaper. Many varieties of orchids can be found on the market today, from the largest to the smallest, but caring for them can be more complicated for some. It all depends on both the type of plant and the exposure it is subjected to.

In fact, very often they take home beautiful, lush orchids that wilt after a few months and seem to no longer want to show signs of life.

There are actually many tricks to making orchids bloom at home, most of which involve the use of natural ingredients. The method we are talking about today involves the use of a very special ingredient for flowering, the banana.

A fruit rich in nutritional properties ideal for all plants, which will help your orchids receive all the useful nutrients for their development. But how can a banana help in the flowering of orchids?

Use bananas as fertilizer

First of all, it’s good to specify that you’ll only need a part of the banana, which is usually a waste part. Only the husks will be needed to create a syrup useful as a natural fertilizer. Doing so is actually very simple and quick and will help you save money and have all the nutrients the plant needs.

First, take the peels of three bananas and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Pour the chopped peels into a bowl and add a quart of water. Let everything rest for at least five hours, at the end of which the skins will have released their properties in the water, which will have taken on a yellow colour.

At this point, equip yourself with a strainer and pour the liquid into another container, filtering out the skins.
This will give you a liquid rich in potassium, nitrogen, magnesium and phosphorus. A real fertiliser bomb not only for orchids but for all plants. But how do you use this super nutritious syrup?

Very simple, just use it to water your orchids and other plants once every 7 days. It can easily be replaced by regular hydration with water, as it contains a lot of it. In no time you will find yourself with flowering and leafy plants, seeing is believing.
