Watering orchids with succinic acid

Consequences of using succinic acid

Phalaenopsis orchid is one of the varieties of houseplant most loved by florists for a long flowering period. However, this is a delicate and capricious exotic flower, the cultivation of which requires patience and caring attention. Often, due to illiterate care, the plant begins to wilt, it can be saved if the necessary measures are quickly taken.

Succinic acid for orchids is simply a necessary fertilizer, although florists have learned to use other cheap and effective means, for example, hydrogen peroxide, which saturates the soil with oxygen and stimulates the immunity of orchids; pest-fighting garlic; aspirin, which creates an acidic environment favorable for Phalaenopsis. For each of these drugs, there are separate rates of use.

Benefits of using butanedioic acid:

1. Normalization of soil microflora. The drug balances the functioning of beneficial microorganisms, restoring the microflora;
2. Destruction of toxins. Butanedioic acid destroys toxic substances accumulating over time;
3. Growth stimulating. After the introduction of fertilizer, nutrients from the soil are better absorbed by the root system. The orchid grows faster;
4. Improved adaptation. Accelerates plant regeneration after diseases, transplantation and other stressful situations. Helps newly acquired individuals quickly adapt to a new environment;
5. Increased chlorophyll content. If chlorophyll is produced in sufficient quantities, plants will flower, grow, and look healthier;
6. Acceleration of root formation. Indispensable for reproduction, transplantation and resuscitation of plants with damaged roots;
7. Increased stability. Orchids that receive optimal doses of succinic acid tolerate drought, excessive watering, and freezing better.

Attention! It is practically impossible to cause harm to plants when treated with succinic acid. Possible disadvantages of its use:

Possible disadvantages of its use:

1. From excessive use of the drug, soil acidification is likely;
2. To achieve a stable and visible result, you need to show patience, you should not wait for an instant miracle.

Important! Butanedioic acid is non-toxic, but the concentrated solution causes irritation, mild burns to the mucous membranes. When working with the drug, you must:

When working with the drug, you must:

• use safety glasses and latex gloves;
• keep the product away from the reach of children and pets.

Pure butanedioic acid crystalline powder

Features and characteristics

Succinic acid is a colorless and odorless crystalline substance found in natural substances such as amber, brown coal, and resins. In addition, the substance is part of any living organism that breathes oxygen. It owes its name to amber, from which it was first isolated in the middle of the 15th century. Today, acid is obtained both by chemical synthesis and in the old way - in the process of processing amber. However, the latter method is the most labor-consuming and expensive; therefore, all commercially available succinic acid preparations are produced by a chemical method.

The substance has two forms of release and is produced in tablets and powder for injection. The product is completely soluble in water, alcohol and ether, and is used for medicinal purposes. It has a mild antioxidant, immunomodulatory and antihypoxic effect, fights infection, calms the nerves and improves metabolism.In addition to medicine, succinic acid is actively used in floriculture, in particular, for the care of orchids. The high efficiency of restoring damaged flowers and feeding healthy individuals is due to the participation of succinic acid in cellular respiration. Thanks to this, metabolic processes are accelerated and the plant begins to actively develop, grow and bloom.

The main feature of succinic acid is its point effect, which applies exclusively to damaged and weakened flower tissues. Acid does not tend to accumulate in plant cells and in the soil and quickly decomposes into simple, well-assimilated substances. It should be noted here that succinic acid itself is not a fertilizer, it only promotes the rapid digestibility of dressings and improves cellular respiration. In addition, with the help of the drug, it is possible to reanimate seemingly hopeless plants that have undergone long transportation, unsuccessful transplantation, or have lost their viable roots.

In addition to the regenerating function, succinic acid helps to increase the resistance of plants to the scalding effects of ultraviolet radiation, poor watering, frost and excessive moisture, and also has a stimulating effect on the intensity of root formation and shoot growth.

How to fertilize orchids correctly

The easiest way is to prepare a solution.

Remember: it is not stored, as the active components disintegrate in the light. So don't cook for future use. Stir - apply immediately.

Acid dilution

For 1 g of substance (powder) or 1 tablet, take a liter of water. It is better to take warm water, so the orchid will more obediently absorb the solution.

If you are working with a tablet, you first need to crush it, mix it with a glass of liquid, and when all the crystals dissolve, add more water.

Do you have YAK powder but no scales? 1 gram is the amount that will fit on the tip of a knife.

Top dressing methods

• Watering the soil. Use a watering can, it will help the solution get into the ground, but not on the leaves. Pour in a little until you see that the bottom of the pallet is filling up. Here, by the way, do not leave the solution - drain without residue. It is best to water your orchid in the morning. If it is not on a hot windowsill, but in a protected corner, you can add succinic acid at any time of the day.
• Rubbing the leaves. Prepare "amber water", moisten a handkerchief or cotton pad in it, wipe each leaf plate. You can even penetrate the sinuses (this will protect them from moisture stagnation), but in no case leave drops of solution there. In addition, always squeeze the handkerchief well, it should not leak - excess liquid can injure the plant.
• Spraying. This procedure is especially indicated for a very sick or young flower, as it stimulates the growth of new shoots. By the way, if water remains in the spray bottle and the roots are transparent, pour the rest of the solution into the substrate.

• Soaking roots. This procedure is carried out during transplantation. You can keep the roots in the egg solution for a couple of minutes or for several hours. After that, you should not immediately plant the flower in the nutrient soil - first, dry it in a sterile (for example, roasted in the oven) substrate. This procedure will help the flower take root faster.
• Seed soaking. Almost everyone buys orchids ready-made, in pots and flowering, but if you have the time and desire, you can grow the flower yourself. For the seeds to give the best germination, soak them for 24 hours in a solution of succinic acid. After that, lay them out on a handkerchief to dry, and can be sown in the ground. By the way, the seeds will draw out all the benefits from the solution, so that it is no longer suitable for watering or spraying adult plants.

How often can you pamper a flower with this delicacy

It all depends on the method of introduction.

• You can water your pet with "amber water" 1-2 times a month. But! Only during the period of activity, that is, in spring and summer.From the beginning of autumn your flower will go into "hibernation", it should not be disturbed once again, even with ordinary water, let alone with various stimulants and feeding.
• It is worth wiping the leaves once a week, in the morning. Although there are people who do this every day (the orchid is sick) and are very happy with the results.
• You can spray the plant once every 2 weeks.

Remember: the use of YAK is not a reason to cancel the rest of the care (feeding, treatment). The acid is just a biostimulant that will push the orchid to grow and bloom.

Combination with other drugs

These tablets are good on their own, but if you are a perfectionist, you can use the drug to create even more complex cocktails for your favorite flower.

A tonic for flowering and root building of a plant that has bloomed 2 months ago. 1 liter of water, 2 YaK tablets, 1 glucose tablet, 1 ampoule of pyridoxine, cyanocobalamin, ascorbic acid and niacin (these are all vitamins of group B, as well as C and PP). Mix and immediately rub the leaves, spray or water the flower

Important: you need to do this not during the day, but in the evening or in the morning.
Cocktail for the resuscitation of a sick orchid. A liter of water, 2 tablets of YaK, 1/5 of a tablet of nicotinic acid, ½ tablet of pyridoxine, thiamine, cyanocobalamin, the smallest pinch (on the tip of a knife) "Kornevin"

Apply in the same way: you can wipe the leaves, you can spray the entire plant, but it is best to water the soil.
Cocktail to maintain beauty. Squeeze 3 medium cloves of garlic into 0.25 liters of heated water. Let it brew for 24 hours, drain. Crush 1.5 tablets of succinic acid, mix with hot and then garlic water. Dilute to make 4 liters. Use for watering once every 1-2 months.

How to use?

Succinic acid is a real find for novice flower growers and provides them with invaluable help in caring for orchids. The use of the drug is not difficult and consists in watering, processing leaf plates, spraying and feeding the root.

For watering

Watering orchids growing in a pot is carried out from a small watering can without using a spray. The solution should flow in a thin stream, gradually filling the entire surface of the soil. As soon as excess water begins to leave the lower holes, watering is stopped and the excess is allowed to drain into the pan. If the flower grows in a container that does not have drainage holes, for example, in a glass flask, then you should wait 15-20 minutes, after which, holding the plant and the substrate in which it grows, carefully drain the excess liquid into the sink.

When kept indoors, you can water the orchid at any time of the day. If a flower adorns a balcony or loggia, then watering should be done only in the morning. This requirement is due to the fact that the plant must be completely dry before evening and night temperatures drop.

For wiping the leaves

This method is quite time consuming and requires a lot of time, so its use is advisable only for the treatment of injured, suddenly yellowed or wrinkled orchid leaves. In order to carry out the treatment, it is necessary to moisten a soft cloth or cotton pad in a solution of succinic acid and gently wipe the leaf plate. In this case, you need to ensure that the acid does not get into the base of the sheet and does not burn it. The solution for wiping is made more saturated, while dissolving 1 tablet of the drug in a glass of warm water. A couple of days after application, the drug is removed with napkins dipped in cool water.

Spraying

Such treatment, unlike wiping the leaves, is not an emergency measure for a dying plant and can be performed regularly. To do this, dilute 1 tablet of acid in 500 ml of warm water and spray the aerial part of the plant. This event promotes the active growth of new shoots and is held until the orchid blooms.As soon as the first buds appear, spraying is stopped and resumed only after the plant has faded and rested after flowering.

For the development of the root system

Treatment of root appendages with a solution of succinic acid is carried out when plants are transplanted to a new place. This is necessary for the early adaptation of the flower to new conditions and to prevent root rotting due to stress. For this, 1 tablet of succinic acid is diluted in 0.5 l of water and the roots of the plant are immersed there. After half an hour, the flower is taken out of the container and thoroughly dried in air for 2 hours. Then the orchid is planted in fresh substrate and slightly moistened.

Thanks to this treatment, the growth of root shoots is noticeably activated, which contributes to the emergence of new strong shoots. Moreover, orchids with a treated root system begin to bloom profusely and for a long time and are distinguished by especially large flowers.

This method can also be used for medicinal purposes. To do this, carefully examine the roots, remove rotten and damaged processes and immerse the plant in an amber solution for 2-3 hours. The residence time of the roots in the liquid depends on the condition of the flower and in emergency cases can be up to 4 hours.

Some experts recommend combining succinic acid with garlic. To prepare garlic water, a clove of garlic is crushed to a state of gruel, poured with a liter of warm water and infused for 45 minutes. Then, a tablet of succinic acid is dissolved in the resulting garlic water and the orchid is watered. However, there is an opposite opinion, according to which it is better to alternate the use of garlic and acid, in no case mixing them in the same solution. But in fairness, it is worth noting that both joint and separate use of these two components gives excellent results, so the choice of any one option depends on the personal preferences of the grower.

Whatever the reasons for treating indoor orchids, whether it is the need to save a wilting plant or spraying for preventive purposes, it is important to follow the instructions for the safe use of the product. So, when working with a solution, do not allow drops of the drug to get on the mucous membranes or skin.

Such contact, of course, will not bring serious consequences, but it may well cause itching and irritation.

Therefore, when working with the solution, it is recommended to use gloves, and in case of accidental contact with the eyes, you must immediately rinse them with running water and continue to be more careful.

Correct use of acid

In winter, florists do not recommend using succinic acid for feeding orchids, but if necessary, you can treat the plants with solutions of reduced concentration (2-3 times). At the same time, they use only spraying, without direct watering, the frequency of treatment is 1 time per month.

How to properly wipe the leaves

For tropical flowers, handling the leaves is just as important as taking care of the roots. A pronounced effect can be achieved if clear rules are followed:

A pronounced effect can be achieved if clear rules are followed:

1. Use sparing improvised means to transfer the drug to the leaves in order to exclude the possibility of traumatic actions;
2. Make sure that a soft cloth or a piece of cotton wool is sufficiently moistened with the solution;
3. Wipe on both sides of the sheet;
4. Perform the procedure in the morning or evening, avoiding daytime hours;
5. After processing, the leaves should remain visibly moist.

Important! Frequency of rubbing orchid leaves - weekly, once or twice

Rubbing orchid leaves

Instructions for use

The drug is used when the orchid is actively growing, 2-3 times a week for a month. During the rest period, feeding is carried out no more than 1 time per month.

Application for leaves

The leaf plates are moistened on both sides, achieving good moisture - drops of the composition should remain.Moisture should not get into the plant sinuses. Spraying is carried out with a finely dispersed sprinkler.

Application for roots

After processing, an orchid with rotten roots is suspended above a container with moss, previously soaked in a working solution.

Watering with a watering can is done slowly. Excess moisture accumulated in the pan is drained after 20-30 minutes. By immersing the roots in the solution, they solve the problem of increasing the immunity of the orchid at the time of transplantation. Plants are soaked from 30 minutes to 1.5-2 hours, excess moisture is allowed to drain.

It must be remembered that rotten roots will not be restored by processing the leaves, and excessive feeding of the roots provokes the growth of leaves, but does not cause flowering.

What are these pills?

They are pharmacy. Interestingly, they buy them both for people and for chickens or vegetables.

The benefits of amber (or in the language of doctors - dicarboxylic) acid were also appreciated by lovers of decorative flowers, in particular orchids.

In fact, these are translucent crystals that can be dissolved in alcohol, ether or water. For convenience, pharmacists compress them into tablets (not in pure form, but often with the addition of glucose, ascorbic acid, talc), less often into capsules with powder. Before buying, always read the composition of the tablets - not every supplement will suit your flower's taste! The same talc will only harm him. And even better - take the medicine not in a pharmacy for people, but in a florist's store - such tablets will definitely suit the plant.

People who have tried succinic acid say that it resembles ordinary citric acid a little. By the way, the name of the drug is not lying - the medicine is really made from amber.

It costs mere pennies - about 15 rubles per package.

The shelf life of the drug is 3 years.

Are they only useful, or can they harm?

The drug has many advantages:

• natural composition;
• getting into the ground, succinic acid (hereinafter - YAK) stimulates an increase in the amount of "good" microflora, which has a positive effect on the development of the plant;
• it protects the roots, stimulates their growth;
• accelerates the process of photosynthesis, increases the amount of chlorophyll in the leaves, due to which they grow faster;
• lengthens the flowering period, more buds are tied;
• helps cuttings root better;
• helps the plant recover from hypothermia, burns, illness;
• enhances immunity, as well as resistance to stress (including unsuccessful watering and transplanting);
• helps the flower to better absorb fertilizers;
• prevents hazardous components from collecting in the soil.

But there are also disadvantages.

• Although the acid is not harmful to you, as well as your family (including tailed and birds), it is better to work with it with gloves, and after work you should not rub your eyes or touch fresh scratches. After all, this is acid, so it can irritate mucous membranes or wounds. But if your eyes are already stinging, rinse them immediately with clean running water. It is also advisable to go to the hospital - you never know!
• Some people complain that tingling occurs in the nasopharynx when this substance is inhaled. Of course, you will not get poisoned, but everyone's organisms are different - someone will not notice anything, and someone will feel uncomfortable. In this case, it is better to visit a doctor.

A curious cat stole the pill and swallowed it? Your pet is lucky - nothing will happen to her. The poor thing does not need to wash the stomach.

Have there been any cases of drug overdose? In general, this substance will not harm, even if you give more than other growers recommend (it is believed that the orchid will "take" exactly as much as it needs).

However, remember: even excess water (and what can be harmless for orchids?) Often ruined this capricious flower. Therefore, I would still advise you to adhere to the norms and not "stuff" your orchid with excess acid.

Instructions for use

The drug must be used immediately after preparation.

Dilute the solution in a glass container, taking into account dosages.

It is necessary to prepare a liquid product immediately before use due to the property of the active ingredient to decompose when interacting with oxygen.

If it is necessary to make the drug in advance, it is stored in a shaded place and in a tightly sealed container for 3 days.

For roots

Root treatment helps the orchid quickly adapt to new conditions and relieve stress after transplanting.

To achieve this goal, the roots are immersed in a fresh solution for 30 minutes at the rate of 1 tablet per 500 ml of liquid.

If the plant is in critical condition and needs emergency resuscitation:

• the roots are preliminarily examined, all injured and rotten segments are removed, the cut sites are treated with brilliant green or crushed activated carbon;
• then placed in the prepared solution for no longer than 4 hours. To prevent the plant from suffocating in the process, it is taken out of the composition every 30 minutes.

After the procedure, the phalaenopsis is dried for about 2-3 hours and transplanted into another pot, which, together with the soil, should be sterilized in advance.

After a few weeks, the first results will be noticeable - the root system will begin to actively increase the mass, new flower stalks will appear.

When watering

In this case, 1 g of succinic acid must be diluted in 1 liter of water, then irrigate the substrate with a watering can.

It is better to carry out the procedure in the morning, so that by the evening the contents of the pot are dry enough.

Stop watering when water begins to seep through the drainage holes of the container. Then the moisture accumulated in the pan is poured out to avoid waterlogging. If, for some reason, the plant is in a pots that are not equipped with perforations from the bottom, the excess liquid is drained, holding the roots with your hand, through the top.

With the immersion method, a container with an orchid is placed a couple of times a month in a basin with a solution and kept for 30 minutes. During the rest or flowering period, it is better to refrain from such processing.

For seeds

Acid is also used to stimulate germination and germination of seeds. The duration of the procedure is 12 hours, after which the material is thoroughly dried and embedded in a soil specially prepared for orchids.

Leaf processing

The composition has a good effect on the condition of the plant if you wipe the leaves with it.

Acid has a beneficial effect on the root system

It is also allowed to process them in case of injury or yellowing. To do this, you need to prepare a more concentrated product: 1 tablet per 250 ml of water.

A lint-free cotton cloth (can be replaced with a cotton pad) is moistened in the liquid and passed over the entire surface from both sides.

Phalaenopsis responds well to spraying: 1 tablet is diluted in 0.5 liters of water. Young shoots are especially sensitive to such manipulations, in which growth activation is observed after the procedure.

For medicinal purposes, measures are carried out until the plant improves, for preventive purposes - once a week, to stimulate early flowering - until the peduncle is formed.

For resuscitation of orchids without roots

It is not uncommon for phalaenopsis to partially or completely lose its root system during improper care or adverse conditions.

There are several ways to fix the situation:

• Spray daily with strong essence: 4 tablets of amber per 1 liter of water.
• The plant is placed in a preparation, which is prepared in the same way as for a spray, and fixed so that the neck is not immersed in water. The fresh solution is added as it is absorbed, until the formation of new roots. It should be borne in mind that useful properties are preserved only for 2 days. On average, resuscitation will take about 2-3 months.
• Treat the base of the orchid with crushed acid, set it in the ground and systematically water and spray with the drug.

When the roots grow 5 cm, the cutting is placed in a new substrate.

For flowering

To stimulate flowering, the aerial part can be treated with a 0.1% amber solution by spraying. It is necessary to dilute 1 g of the substance in 1 liter of water.

Manipulations are performed several times a day. If you use the composition once every 3 weeks, it will accelerate the vegetation and growth of the plant.

It is noticed that after the treatment of phalaenopsis with amber, flowering occurs much faster, differs in abundance, larger buds and duration.

Fertilizer compatibility

The drug is good to use together with other dressings for exotic, but it is not necessary to process it together. For the prevention of UC, it is used no more than once every 21 days. For orchid therapy - every day for one and a half weeks. What's good and bad The benefits of a fertilizer for a flowering plant are enormous. Top dressing is a great helper for all flowers. YAK has the following advantages:

1. Activation of growth and formation of root mass.
2. Improves the formation of ovaries - increases the number of flowers and the duration of the color (to put it another way, activates flowering).
3. Helping plant culture to more actively assimilate useful elements from the substrate and protection from toxins in the soil.
4. A positive effect on orchid cuttings, that is, it increases the likelihood of their rooting and further development of a young flower (similar to the use of heteroauxin or root).
5. Boosting the immune system of the transplanted flower (used as a stress reliever).
6. It makes it possible to return to life a dying exotic or to rehabilitate it after an illness.
7. Help in the fight against negative conditions and inadequate care (heat, frost, excess water and drought).
8. Application for increasing the germination of seeds (for processing before sowing).

The benefits and harms of feeding orchids with succinic acid are hidden for any variety of plant culture. But, the solution is not a harmful and not powerful agent, but a biological activator. Therefore, in fact, he will not be able to harm the orchid, moreover, the composition does not accumulate in the flower and substrate itself, since decay takes place in air and light. Based on this, special protection is not required with a solution of YaK.

However, although it is not harmful, it is still an acid, so it is not necessary to allow the solution to penetrate inside. When processing the plant, you need to put on medical gloves and glasses on your hands. It is necessary to protect the child and pets from acid, it must be stored away from children. But, as is clear, YaK also has disadvantages (common to all biological preparations). One should not expect a very rapid and miraculous effect from the use of the composition. The substance is rather weak, but effective. Frequent use of the drug is bad for the soil.

Yak is not particularly dangerous. However, sometimes, when it penetrates the skin, allergies and redness may develop. If acid gets in your eyes, rinse them out as quickly as possible. If, during the period of the YAK, an allergy or irritation in the throat develops, it is necessary to visit the clinic.

In order for the treatment to be effective, it is important to ensure that the substance does not penetrate the foliage sinuses. So stagnation will not form

When mixing, certain rules should be followed. Wear protective equipment when handling. If the composition gets into the mouth, eyes, rinse the affected area with plenty of liquid. Eggs, when diluted correctly, are important for the full growth of an orchid. Even prophylaxis based on YaK will give a good effect, but subject to care and dose of the drug.

Forms of issue

Succinic acid is a chemical compound containing hydrogen, oxygen and carbon atoms. Its chemical name is butanedioic acid. Produced by the industry in the form of:

1. Tablets;
2. Powder sachets;
3. Small crystals of pure substance.

Succinic acid tablets

In the first two cases, the drug is presented in pharmacies, its direct purpose is to be used as a medicine for humans, therefore, the pure substance is mixed with various additives: talc, glucose, etc. Crystals of pure acid are purchased at specialized points of goods for the garden and flowers. where they are presented as fertilizers.

Important! Crystals of pure succinic acid are the best option for orchids, since additional impurities can slightly reduce the effectiveness of the drug

How to use

Carry out processing 2-3 times a week. The positive qualities of YAK are that the ready-made mixture is suitable for any feeding method. The duration of the course is several weeks.

Phalaenopsis transplant is another reason for application. During this procedure, it is necessary to treat the root system with succinic acid, then the risk of root rotting will be significantly reduced:

1. First you need to dilute the YAK with water up to half a liter. In case the orchid is not healthy, take a volume of 250 ml. (sick plants).
2. After removing the rotten and damaged areas and roots, place them in the liquid for half an hour. If the plant is not healthy, the time spent in the solution can be several hours.
3. Every 30-40 minutes you need to remove the plant for 5-7 minutes from the solution. The maximum resuscitation time is 3 hours.

After the procedure, be sure to dry the root system. You can keep the roots in the fresh air, as they need to dry out of excess moisture. Finally, plant the culture in a new container with fresh soil.

Succinic acid for Phalaenopsis orchid will give noticeable results: the root system will grow better, flowering will improve. Many people note that after processing the Yak, the flowering is lush, while the plant will bloom for a longer time with large flowers.

To dilute the drug, hot water is needed. Use a tablet every 1000 ml. liquids. It is recommended to water the orchid with succinic acid from a watering can without a spray

It is important that when watering, the water flows in a thin stream, gently filling the soil. When the liquid appears in the pan, wait a little

After watering, when all the liquid drains into the pan, it must be removed.

It happens that a flower is grown in a closed flask or test tube, where there are no drainage holes. Then the procedure is carried out in the same way, but after 15 minutes you need to carefully drain the excess liquid. This can be done by holding the treated roots with your hand and tilting the container.

Attention! You need to keep it this way until all excess moisture is removed from the plant.

It is best to carry out the procedure in the morning. But if the plant is reliably protected from drafts and temperature drops, all conditions are met, then watering can be carried out at any time. The main thing is to make sure that the remaining moisture after watering is removed.

Foliar treatment is very effective for epiphytes. Wipe orchid leaves with succinic acid daily. Use mixtures prepared at a dilution of 1: 500 or 1: 250 for healthy and diseased orchids.

Process the leaves of the diseased plant daily, in the morning. Use a cotton swab or cotton cloth for the procedure. Stop rubbing when the condition improves. Then remove excess moisture from the leaves of the orchid. It is forbidden to get into liquids in any places other than leaves, for example, in flower stalks. In this case, it is imperative to wipe on both sides.

Spraying the eggs weekly gives a good effect. Flowering plants cannot be processed! If the root system is rotten, you need to try to reanimate the roots. A liter of liquid takes from 2 to 4 tablets. Apply the diluted substance with a cloth or swab to the place of potential roots. It is allowed to use a spray bottle. Use of succinic acid for orchids is carried out daily. Suspend procedures when roots appear.

You can drop the roots into the composition. Before the procedure, remove the rot, and process the sections. For this purpose, you can use brilliant green, or activated carbon. Then lower the root place in the diluted liquid for 15-20 minutes. It can be used for 2-3 months daily. Suspend procedures with the appearance of roots.

How to feed an orchid at home The exotic appearance of the orchid has made it a very popular flower. Many amateurs express a desire to grow her ...

If you need to process the seeds, they must be dipped in the solution overnight. Soaking time from 10 to 12 hours. Before planting, they need to be soaked, then dried and planted in the soil.

Before feeding the plant, you need to consider the possible benefits and harms. Despite the harmlessness, frequent use can oxidize the substrate. It is forbidden to use YAK for orchids during budding and during rest. If you use the product during flowering, then the current buds may fall off. Do not use the drug too often.

Note! You can't help but watch the flower and then use the YAK. In this case, the remedy will not help, since it is an auxiliary remedy and does not replace competent care.
