Begin by pulverizing three tablespoons of rice in a blender until it forms a fine powder. Transfer the powdered rice into a glass jar and add aloe vera, meticulously cutting small pieces from a leaf and incorporating them into the mixture.
Pour 500 ml of hot water into the jar and stir thoroughly. Seal the jar tightly and cover it with a dark cloth, allowing it to cool. After approximately four hours, the solution will have reached an optimal temperature. Strain the mixture through a sieve to remove any residue.
Dilute the obtained solution with three liters of water and transfer it into a spray bottle. Proceed to spray the solution onto both the upper and lower surfaces of the orchid leaves, using a cotton pad to ensure they remain dry to prevent rot. This fertilizer boasts additional benefits, effectively combating fungi and insects, thereby promoting the overall health of the plant.
Apply this fertilizer every 15 days, and observe as your orchid thrives, adorned with vibrant green foliage. Additionally, consider incorporating this fertilizer into your watering routine to nourish the orchid’s roots. Rich in essential proteins such as phosphorus, zinc, potassium, and manganese, both rice and aloe facilitate effortless absorption by the plant.
With consistent application of this treatment over a span of two months, anticipate the emergence of new roots, signaling the imminent burst of blooms. Don’t hesitate to embark on this botanical journey — the lush, flourishing orchid of your dreams awaits.
