Orchids are treasured for their exotic flowers, but encouraging them to produce more flower spikes and bloom longer can be challenging. Here’s a simple, natural trick to boost your orchid’s flowering power by 500% using just one thin slice of onion per week!
Why Does Onion Work for Orchids?
Onion has long been used as a natural fertilizer thanks to its powerful nutrients:
Rich in Sulfur and Antioxidants: Acts as a natural fungicide protecting orchids from diseases.
Stimulates Root and Flower Growth: Contains compounds that encourage strong roots and multiple flower spikes.
Strengthens Orchid Immunity: Helps resist fungal infections, pests, and environmental stress.
Natural and Chemical-Free: Provides organic nutrients without harmful side effects.
How to Use Onion to Boost Orchid Flowering
1. Choose the Right Onion
Use fresh yellow or red onions for the highest sulfur content.
Avoid old or sprouting onions as their benefits decrease.
2. Prepare the Onion Slice
Cut one thin slice about 1-2 mm thick each week.
Use a fresh slice every time.
3. Apply Onion to the Orchid
Method 1: Onion Water Spray
Soak 1 thin onion slice in 500 ml water for 1 hour.
Strain and pour the onion water into a spray bottle.
Mist orchid leaves and aerial roots lightly once a week.
