GB News: Orchid care: Gardener shares a quick and cheap trick to make orchids thrive in winter - 'Stimulate blooming'
Orchid care can be challenging, requiring attention to factors like light and nutrition. A YouTube gardener shared a cost-effective method using lemon juice, which contains citric acid to help reduce water alkalinity and combat mold.
To nourish orchids, mix one tablespoon of lemon juice with 500ml of room temperature water, and gently rub the solution on the leaves. Water roots only when they appear grey, avoiding the center to prevent damage. Overwatering is a common mistake that can lead to root rot.
