Orchids, the trick to make them last forever: they have never been so luxuriant and strong | March 22, 2025

Orchids are undoubtedly among the most beautiful and elegant indoor plants. Keeping them beautiful and lush requires careful care, the use of fertilizers and the right doses of water and light. Not to mention the flowering, which only appears if the plant is in excellent condition. They are not exactly plants for everyone, that’s for sure, but with the right precautions, it is possible to make them last a very long time. Let’s see how to do it with a DIY method.

Orchids, fascinating indoor plants

Until a few years ago, growing orchids was reserved for a few, because the plants cost a lot of money and above all required a greenhouse.

Over the years, many varieties of orchids have been imported , even from colder countries, which therefore adapt very well to growing in apartments without requiring specific equipment. This, added to the hybrid species created by researchers, has made orchids much more popular and cheaper. In fact, originally, orchids are tropical plants native to Asia and America and can reach up to 60 cm in height. Their care does not require daily attention but this does not mean that they are simple .

In fact, there are many orchid fertilizers on the market to keep them in top shape.
For a more economical solution, you can opt for a homemade fertilizer. You will only need one main ingredient: a small potato.
