All orchid owners want their houseplant to bloom with lush flowers. To do this, experts advise paying attention to fertilizers as one of the aspects of care.

While there are many readily available fertilizers for orchid plants, making your own homemade natural orchid food reduces the risk of toxic exposure to harmful synthetic chemicals. This is reported by Express.co.uk.

The orchid seller recommends using dried chicken bones for the plant. This unexpected product will be an incredible source of calcium and magnesium for orchids.

For this method, start by drying the chicken bones. Place them at an equal distance on a paper towel and then expose them to the sun for one or two days. Grind the bones in a mortar and pestle until you reach the consistency of fine sand.

Then add green tea leaves for nitrogen, milk, which brings natural nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, and a teaspoon of molasses. Mix thoroughly until the mixture turns brown

Finally, pour in rice water, which contains trace amounts of niacin, riboflavin, and thiamine, which orchids need. This natural orchid fertilizer can be used once or twice a month during the growing season.
