Pour in one liter of water and close the jar tightly;
Cover with a cloth;
Wait 24 hours, until the mixture has macerated well in the dark;
If possible, extend the fermentation time;
Use a sieve to filter the solution and collect in a bottle;
Water the orchids with the solution, alternating with water.

Taking good care of orchids:
Here are some important rules to take into account to properly care for orchids:

Choose a location in a place that receives good light, but is not too exposed to the sun’s rays;
Place the orchids in a high-sided, transparent vase;

To repot orchids, it is important to carefully observe the blackened roots and cut them without hesitation;
Place the orchid in a pot and cover with a bark-based substrate;
Preferably, water with distilled water or rainwater;

Water once a week and by immersion for half an hour;
Or, you can water from above, making sure that the water does not land on the leaves;
Avoid stagnation at all costs to avoid rotting the roots.
