RE: The missing two - miniature Phalaenopsis orchids on bloom

in Orchid Lovers3 years ago

Lovely ones. I like this glitter effect on them. Just yesterday we were talking about how thankful this plant is. I can't remember any other species flowering that long and needing so little care.

Sort:  

I think I remember one of the big Phals was blooming for over 4 months. I had no idea the flowers can even last this long! And yea... they don't require so much care.

And I can give you a PRO tip. Once in a while add some yeast (that one for baking) with water to them, they love it.

Really? Never heard of that trick.
How much per 1l?

"Traditional recipe for yeast dressing is prepared as follows: a kilogram of "live" yeast is diluted in five liters of water, after which the solution is diluted with water in the ratio 1: 10 before use.

If dry yeast is used instead of the usual one, then top dressing is prepared on the basis of 10 grams per 10 l of warm water with the addition of two tablespoons of sugar, after which the mixture is allowed to stand for a couple of hours, and then also diluted with water in the ratio 1: 5. Typically, this solution is used for watering flower beds, vegetables, fruit trees and berry bushes."
Something like this. I never really weighted it but rather add some to the water.

Cool! Will read up on that.
Thank you :)
