Enrich the soil with nutrients
You don’t have to feed your orchids with overpriced commercial fertiliser. You can make the right fertiliser for your plant at home.
Like rice water! Boil a cup or so of ordinary rice in a litre of cold water. Then strain the water and pour it over your orchids. The rice has released many beneficial substances into the water, which will help your flowers to bloom better.
You can also make a watering can out of peeled banana peels, for example.
It is also a good idea to make a topping with wood ash from time to time. Add a few tablespoons of ash to your watering solution (but be careful, it should only be wood!) and water your orchids.
