Garlic water for orchids: stupid and harmful. Who invented this?

Unfortunately, most people are arranged in such a way that they take on faith stupid, but "simple" advice on growing plants, and criticize complex and correct agricultural techniques.

Yes, how nice it would be if all geraniums bloom from one drop of iodine! No need to bother with fertilizer transplants. Cut off by fools who have nothing to do. But pour the iodine solution, and even with a drop of "oxygen" peroxide (I read such guides) - and truncated, the garden of pelargoniums smelled on the windowsill.

I am very glad that most people wereted their time trying to grow a rose in a potato. Remember? But history has taught nothing. Nowadays, garlic water dressing of orchids is gaining popularity. Orchids from her, they say, immediately because of fear arrows release and bloom in cascades.

And if you think critically? What Nutrients Does Garlic Have? In any dosage of the most common mineral fertilizer, there are ten times more of them.

I am already silent about the fact that the wrong concentration - and the orchid will receive a shock from the caustic solution.

But even in a properly prepared concentration, it can be harmful:

Why are orchids planted in the bark? In nature, the plant feeds on organic matter. They are formed from the breakdown of the bark under the influence of moisture. And all sorts of fungi-bacteria work here. And watering with garlic will kill the entire microflora completely. So please don't do that. For good flowering, an orchid only needs light, sufficient watering and a little fertilizer without experimenting)
