Among the most popular plants there are undoubtedly orchids , which always release wonderful flowers with a fresh and intense fragrance. Even if orchids tend to be outdoor plants, in recent times they are increasingly chosen to decorate interiors , precisely because of their extraordinary elegance.
The orchid comes back to life with this very effective method: here’s how
However, like all other plants, orchids also need very careful care and maintenance to express their full potential.
Orchids
Therefore, it is important to be very careful to always ensure that the orchid receives the right nutrition , in order to avoid the risk of it becoming ill. Many people rely on certain products that are easily found on the market to reinvigorate orchids.
The advice is not to opt for these solutions but instead to rely on some natural remedies that can be made very quickly at home. Not everyone knows that certain foods that we often keep in our kitchen are perfect for revitalizing orchids.
For example, peas are an exceptional ingredient for achieving this goal thanks to their countless beneficial properties. Indeed, peas are rich in vitamins (including B1, B3, and B5) and also provide magnesium and phosphorus, as well as a good amount of mineral salts.
All you have to do is take 100 grams of peas and place them in a jug, where we will then add a liter of warm water . We cover the jug with a stopper and leave it in the dark for about 12 hours.
After this time, we can take the pitcher and pour all its contents into a blender . Mix the solution until we obtain a liquid that will be very useful for restoring vigor to our orchids.
The next step is to filter the mixture , obviously using a sieve. This will give you a liquid substance that will then need to be poured into a larger container.
Inside this container, in fact, we must add three liters of water at room temperature, in order to obtain the solution we need.

At this point, we can proceed with watering. Let’s pour the freshly prepared solution onto the orchid’s growing medium , to ensure our green friend gets as much food as possible.
Watering the orchids
Indeed, peas are an excellent organic fertilizer that increases the resistance of these plants and protects them from pests and diseases. And your flower comes back to life.
Alternatively, we can add some of the remaining liquid to a spray bottle, so as to spray the remedy on the base and surface of the orchid growing medium.
The important thing is to never spray the solution on the flowers of this magnificent plant, because the starch in the peas could damage them.
