How do I make a vitamin cocktail for Orchids. And they delight me with Stunning flowering
With the arrival of autumn, orchids develop vitamin deficiency, which is a lack of useful elements. If the flowers need some substances, then they will let you know with their emaciated appearance. Slow growth is accompanied by a small leaf mass and dull color of the buds.
Therefore, in order to return orchids to their original appearance, it is necessary to use different vitamins, namely their combination. What supplements are needed for plants, I will tell you in this article.
Vitamins for orchids are used for feeding purposes, as they directly affect the normal course of the plant's life processes. The list of vitamins useful for orchids includes B1, B3 (PP), B6, B12, C.
I'll tell you more about each vitamin and how it affects orchids.
Vitamin B1 - Thiamine Chloride
Without this vitamin, the normal course of plant metabolic processes is impossible. However, thiamine chloride does not mix well with other substances, so it is best to add it separately.
Moreover, the exact dosage plays a big role, because exceeding the norm may not only not be beneficial, but also harm the orchids. An excessive amount of vitamin inhibits metabolic processes.
In addition, a colorless crystalline substance can be synthesized by plants themselves, but only under favorable conditions for this.
Vitamin B3 - Niacin
Vitamin is in the composition of niacin. Participates in the processes of respiration of plants, and also strengthens their immunity. In addition, niacin is used for the normal movement of the juice and the ability to reproduce. A lack of niacin can lead to stunted plant growth.
"B3" combines well with vitamins of other groups and is not destroyed under the influence of high and low temperatures. Helps with plant regeneration.
Vitamin "B6" - Adermin
Adermin - crystals with good solubility in water. An effective substance for the orchid, as it strengthens its immunity and helps to resist pests and diseases.
The use of fungicides or insecticides should be paired with the introduction of Adermin, as this will speed up the process of orchid recovery.
Vitamin "B12" - Cobalamins
The vitamin synthesized by microorganisms increases the growth rate of the orchid, affects the development of peduncles. It is especially important to use cobalamins during the cold season, when there is a lack of sunlight.
Vitamin "C" - Ascorbic acid
Strengthens the immune system, normalizes respiratory processes and improves sap flow.
Vitamin cocktails for orchids
There are many ways to feed an orchid. For this I use vitamin cocktails.
Option 1
To prepare the recovery solution, you will need vitamins "B1", "B6", "B12" + 4 tablets of succinic acid.
This cocktail will help revive the plant if you mix all the ingredients and spray the mixture on the orchid.
Option 2
You need to mix vitamins "B1" and "B3". This composition is intended for feeding the plant during the growing season.
It should be applied 4 times a week. Vitamin C can also be included to achieve better results.
Option 3
Orchid transplant composition - "B6" and "B12". You can also add a drop of zircon.
