Orchids have long been popular as decorations in American homes, mainly because they are beautiful and easily accessible—you can buy them in most supermarkets at a low price. Anyone who wants to have beautiful orchids for a long time must take care of them carefully. Ideally, home orchids should be placed in a spot where the light is not too intense and are protected from sudden drafts.

A method for wilting orchids: They will revive immediately

If you notice that your orchids are blooming less or their leaves are yellowing, it's worth reaching for hydrogen peroxide, which is available in any pharmacy. It is an effective remedy for combating fungal diseases and bacteria that may attack the plant.

It is especially useful during repotting when pests can appear on the roots. It's best to use hydrogen peroxide with a concentration of three percent.

Hydrogen peroxide for orchids: how to use it

This remedy can also be used preventively. To do this, pour the water into a spray bottle and spray it on the orchid roots before changing the pot. It acts as a conditioner that supports the plants if they bloom less often, the leaves weaken, and the growth slows.

Hydrogen peroxide mixed in a 1:4 ratio with water, applied every two weeks, can restore shine to our orchids.

This homemade care method is not only effective but also allows you to save on expensive conditioners. Thanks to it, the flowers will delight the eye with their beauty for a long time.
