If you’re referring to a gardening tip claiming that a leafy orchid will become “10 times more beautiful” if watered with a particular homemade liquid, be cautious with that wording. There isn’t a proven watering solution that will make an orchid literally 10 times more beautiful.
For healthier, fuller orchids:
-
Use clean water and let excess water drain completely.
-
Water when the growing medium is approaching dryness rather than keeping the roots constantly wet.
-
Give the orchid bright, indirect light.
-
Use a fertilizer formulated for orchids, following the label directions.
-
Good air circulation and an appropriate potting medium are important for healthy roots.
-
Avoid putting homemade mixtures such as sugar, milk, or kitchen waste into the pot; they can encourage mold, pests, or root problems.
If you tell me what “this” is (for example, rice water, banana water, garlic water, etc.), I can tell you whether it actually benefits orchids and how to use it safely.
