🌸 Bonus Tips for More Blooms

Clean Leaves
Wipe with damp cloth to boost photosynthesis
❌ What Not to Do
🚫 Use table salt, sugar, coffee, or urine — these can kill your plant
🚫 Overdo it — more than once a month = risk of damage
🚫 Apply to dry roots — always mix with water
🚫 Use on sick or dehydrated plants — heal first
❤️ Final Thought: Beauty Comes From Balance
You don’t need magic potions to make your orchid thrive.
Just a little science, consistent care, and patience.
Epsom salt isn’t a miracle — it’s a support tool that helps your orchid access nutrients it needs to shift from leafy growth to vibrant blooming.
So next time you see those gorgeous green leaves…
Don’t wish for flowers.
Feed it smart.
Wait with trust.
And soon — those long, arching spikes will appear…
Followed by blossoms so beautiful, they stop people in their tracks. đź’™
Because true beauty doesn’t come from tricks —
It comes from understanding what your plant truly needs.
