To make this fertilizer, I took an apple and cut it into small pieces. Remove damaged apple parts. This will not affect the quality of natural fertilizer. Please comment to me which country you are watching the video from. In addition to the English dub, we've now created dubs in French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Hindi, and Indonesian to help you hear and understand the content Apples contain nutrients like potassium, phosphorus, and trace elements, which help orchids grow healthily. Apples enhance root development and stimulate flowering. Additionally, apples help improve the soil's microbial system. This creates a favorable environment for orchids to absorb nutrients. Put the apples in a jar and pour in 1 liter of water, about 4 cups of water. Then add 5 tablespoons of rice. And add 2 teaspoons of wine yeast. Then stir the mixture well. This is a jar of natural fertilizer I fermented 3 weeks ago. Then take about 50 millimeters, 3 spoons of this fermented fertilizer. Mix with 2 liters of water, about 8 cups. This way, you've created a wonderful fertilizer for orchids. It also stops wasting energy on unhealthy parts. This creates a better environment for new roots to grow. I keep these unflowered nodes to stimulate them to bloom again. For buds that have finished blooming, cut them off. Cutting again to prevent the cut from being crushed will limit rot in the cut. Then apply cinnamon powder to the cut to help the wound heal quickly. Step 1. Water the roots with this liquid fertilizer solution and soak for 20 minutes. Watering and soaking orchid roots in liquid fertilizer made from fermented apples and rice provides natural nutrients, stimulates root growth, improves the orchid's health, and enhances its flowering ability. The beneficial microorganisms in the fertilizer also improve the soil environment, making it easier for the plant to absorb nutrients. Step 2. Now thoroughly wipe the top and bottom of the orchid leaves with this liquid fertilizer solution. Wiping the top and bottom of the orchid leaves with liquid fertilizer helps provide nutrients directly to the leaves, stimulating growth and enhancing photosynthesis. This makes the plant healthier, improves nutrient absorption, and supports blooming. The microorganisms in the fertilizer also help keep the leaves clean, preventing diseases. Step 3. Put this solution into a spray bottle and spray it on your orchid. Spraying the liquid fertilizer solution on the orchid provides direct nutrients to the leaves and stems, stimulating growth, enhancing photosynthesis, and promoting overall plant health. It also helps the orchid absorb nutrients quickly, improves its resistance to diseases, and supports the blooming process. Step 4. Afterward, you need to wipe off any excess solution left on the orchid leaves. Wiping off any excess solution helps prevent fungal issues or leaf burn caused by the fertilizer solution being exposed to direct sunlight. It also helps the leaves dry faster, preventing the creation of a moist environment that promotes the growth of bacteria and fungi. After soaking for 20 minutes, remove the orchid and plant it in a new pot to help it grow better. I grow it using chopped pine bark as the substrate. Planting with shredded pine bark helps with good drainage, but still creates enough moisture for orchids to grow without being waterlogged. When growing orchids, you need to observe the time to water them. Observe the roots. Silver gray means they need watering. Check the soil moisture. The leaves show signs of wrinkling. The pot is lighter than normal. And water in the morning. From now on, you can nurture and care for this orchid with this fermented apple fertilizer. Then remember to place the orchid pot in a place with light sunlight for best photosynthesis. Photosynthesis helps plants generate energy from sunlight, converting CO2 and water into oxygen and glucose. This process provides food for plants, supports growth, and produces oxygen for the environment. Results after two months. As you can see, after being cared for with this natural fertilizer, the orchid leaves become greener, glossier, and stronger. The roots grow vigorously, sprouting many new roots, proving that this fertilizer is truly suitable and highly effective. Especially, the plant has grown two new flower spikes, proving that the fertilizer provides abundant nutrients, stimulating strong blooming. Even more impressively, this old flower spike has grown two new branches at the top, near the cut point, proving that the plant continues to absorb nutrients well and thrive.

Welcome everyone to my beloved little garden, where I share simple yet heartfelt things for my beautiful orchid pots. Today, I will share with you how to make a simple natural fertilizer at home to help restore the orchid after it has finished blooming, so the plant can continue to grow healthily and prepare for the next blooming. You can see that my orchid has many spent flower stems, but don't worry, it's a normal sign, and we can help the plant recover better. We need to remove all the wilted petals, so the plant can focus its energy on developing roots and leaves, preparing for the next blooming. The unopened buds can be stimulated to produce new flower stems here, helping the plant bloom continuously throughout the year. As for the buds that have already bloomed, they cannot bloom again, so we just need to take good care of the remaining buds. Next, take about 250 millimeters of water into a cup. Next, you need to prepare baking soda. This is the main ingredient that helps adjust the pH in the orchid pot, and prevents some harmful fungi and bacteria. Just about a half teaspoon of baking soda is enough, no need for too much, as we only need the right amount to achieve the desired effect without harming the plant. Next, you need neem oil. Neem oil helps repel insects and prevent bacterial and fungal diseases, helping to protect the orchid plant and keep it healthy. Just one teaspoon of neem oil is enough. This amount of oil will create an effective solution without overloading the plant. Stir well to ensure that the neem oil and baking soda dissolve completely into the water, creating a uniform solution ready to use. Step one, use a soft cloth to soak up this mixture, and gently wipe both the top and bottom of the leaves, helping to remove dust and small insects, while also protecting the leaves from diseases. Neem oil can help maintain the natural moisture of the leaves, preventing them from drying out and keeping the leaves soft and fresh. The combination of baking soda and neem oil not only helps remove insects, but also creates a protective layer on the leaves, helping the plant effectively resist pests and diseases. After wiping the leaves, pour this mixture into a spray bottle. Make sure the spray bottle is clean and ready to spray evenly on the leaves and the orchid's growing medium. When sprayed on the leaves, this mixture helps remove dirt and small insects, protects the leaves from diseases, and helps the plant photosynthesize more effectively. When sprayed on the stem, it helps prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi, keeping the stem healthy and preventing it from rotting or getting damaged. When sprayed on the roots and growing medium, it helps balance the pH in the medium, promoting better root development and more effective nutrient absorption. Step 3. Use a soft cloth to absorb the excess water on the leaves and between the leaf veins, helping the leaves dry quickly and preventing mold from developing. Please comment and let me know which country you're watching the video from. It's wonderful that we can chat with each other from all around the world. After that, place the orchid pot in a spot with gentle sunlight and good airflow. Do not water it for three days to allow the plant time to absorb the nutrients and recover naturally. Next, we will prepare another very special natural fertilizer for orchids. You only need a few familiar ingredients. Ripe banana, garlic, honey, and warm water. Take one ripe banana and slice it into thin pieces. Bananas provide plenty of potassium and natural nutrients that help stimulate strong flowering in the plant. Then, put the sliced banana into a clean jar. A glass or plastic jar will work as long as it has a tight-fitting lid for fermentation. Next, take three cloves of garlic and chop them finely. Garlic helps with antibacterial and antifungal properties and boosts the orchid's resistance.

After slicing, add the garlic to the jar along with the banana. The next ingredient is one teaspoon of dry yeast. The dry yeast will help ferment the mixture, creating enzymes that are beneficial for the orchid's growth. The next ingredient is honey. Add about one teaspoon of honey, which will enrich the mixture with nutrients and support the fermentation process. Finally, add 0.5 liters of warm water. The warm water helps dissolve the ingredients and stimulates the fermentation process quickly. We should not fill the jar completely with water, leaving some space at the top because fermentation will produce gas. This space allows the mixture to avoid overflowing as gas is created during the fermentation process. Then close the lid and place the jar in a cool, airy spot for three weeks. After this time, the mixture will ferment and produce GE, growth enhancer, ready to be used for the orchids. And here is the GE product I made three weeks ago, so it's ready to be applied to the orchids. Take 20 milliliters of GE and dilute it with 1 liter of water. This mixture will provide nutrients for the orchid, helping the plant grow strong and bloom longer. Step 4. Use a soft cloth to soak up this mixture and wrap it around the unopened buds to help stimulate the growth of new flower stems. The GE will provide nutrients to help these buds develop and bloom in the future. Step 4. Use a soft cloth to soak up this mixture and wrap it around the unopened buds to help stimulate the growth of new flower stems. The GE will provide nutrients to help these buds develop and bloom in the future. Just water each pot with about 10 tablespoons of the GE mixture. This amount is enough to provide nutrients to the plant without overwatering and causing root rot. In addition to the English voiceover, we have now created voiceovers in French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Hindi, and Indonesian to help you listen to and understand the content more easily. For languages without voiceovers, we have created subtitles so you can read and understand the content. Then pour this mixture into a spray bottle. Step 6. Spray this mixture over the entire orchid pot, including the leaves, stem, roots, and growing medium. Spraying helps evenly distribute nutrients, stimulating the plant to grow and bloom continuously. When you spray it on the leaves and roots, it helps the orchid easily absorb essential nutrients from the GE mixture, supporting healthy growth and strengthening the root system. Spraying on the stem and unopened nodes helps stimulate the orchid to bloom regularly, contributing to beautiful and long-lasting flowering periods. The GE mixture helps repel harmful insects and supports disease prevention, making the orchid plant healthier. Wait 20 minutes before removing the cloth wrapped around the nodes. This amount of time is enough for the nutrients to be absorbed and to stimulate the nodes to develop new flower spikes. After 20 minutes, remove the cloth wrapped around the nodes and repeat once a week. This helps stimulate the growth of new flower stems. After soaking the orchid pot for about 20 minutes, remember to take it out. This helps the plant absorb nutrients effectively without causing water logging. Use a cloth to absorb the excess water on the leaves and leaf axles. This helps prevent water from accumulating, avoiding leaf rot, and keeping the leaves dry and well-ventilated. After wiping the leaves, place the orchid pot in a spot with gentle sunlight. This helps the plant recover and grow naturally without being affected by harsh sunlight. Use any remaining mixture to spray on orchids that are currently blooming. This helps the flowers last longer and maintains the plant's health. The GE mixture helps boost the orchid's resistance, allowing the plant to defend against environmental stressors like intense sunlight and drought. The nutrients in this mixture promote root development, helping the orchid absorb water and nutrients more effectively. The GE mixture provides nutrients that help the orchid's leaves grow strong, shiny, and fresh, giving the plant a healthy appearance. The nutrients in GE not only help the current flowers last longer, but also stimulate the buds that haven't bloomed yet, encouraging the orchid to flower continuously. Using GE fertilizer to care for orchids is very beneficial, but it should be done about twice a month. This allows the plant to absorb nutrients effectively without causing over-fertilization. Now let me show you the results after one month of care with natural fertilizer. You can see that the orchid has grown many new roots, which proves that the natural fertilizer has helped the plant grow healthily and absorb nutrients better. The leaves have become greener, shinier, and stronger compared to before using the natural fertilizer. The orchid has grown a new leaf, which proves that the care method and natural fertilizer are working very well for the plant's development. And you can also see the flowers lasting much longer, which proves that the natural fertilizer helps the flowers stay fresh for a longer time. In addition, new flower stems have emerged from the buds that I had stimulated when applying the natural fertilizer a month ago. Other orchids, when treated with natural fertilizer, show larger flower petals and multiple flower stems on the same plant. How do you think about the way I revived my weak orchid?
