Transform your orchid care routine with a simple, eco-friendly trick: using coffee. Orchids flourish in slightly acidic to neutral environments (pH 6.0 – 7.5), making coffee an ideal natural supplement. Its acidity and antimicrobial properties not only encourage vibrant blooms but also protect against root rot and pests.
Why Coffee Elevates Orchid Health:
Enhanced Flowering: Coffee, rich in essential nutrients like potassium, stimulates orchids to produce stunning blooms.
Improved Soil Quality: Incorporating coffee grounds into your orchid's potting mix boosts aeration and drainage, vital for their growth.
Sustainability: Repurposing leftover coffee as a plant enhancer is both environmentally friendly and efficient.
How to Use Coffee with Orchids:
Diluted Coffee Solution: Blend one part cooled black coffee with three parts water. Use it to water your orchids once a month instead of regular watering.
Coffee Grounds Mix:
Dry out coffee grounds, then mix them into your orchid's soil at a 1:5 ratio. This helps improve soil structure and moisture management.
