After you incorporate activated charcoal into your orchid care routine, you may begin to notice remarkable results:
- Increased flowering : Many orchid owners have reported that their plants bloomed significantly more after using activated charcoal, with some experiencing blooms up to 500 times more than before.
- Healthier growth : The overall health of the plant is improved, with more robust leaves and roots, making your orchid more resistant to pests and diseases.
- Longer bloom period : The flowers produced are often more vibrant and can last longer than those from orchids grown in regular potting mixes.
Additional tips for orchid care
While activated carbon can significantly improve your orchid’s growth and flowering potential, a combination of it and good care will yield the best results. Here are some additional tips:
- Regular watering : Stick to a regular watering schedule, but always check the moisture level in the potting medium before watering to avoid overwatering.
- Fertilization : Use a balanced orchid fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season and reduce the frequency during the dormant period.
- Pruning : Prune any wilted inflorescences after flowering to encourage new growth and flowering.
- Humidity maintenance : Maintain humidity around 40-60%. You can use a moisture tray or a room humidifier if needed.
- Monitor light exposure : Adjust your orchids’ placement based on the season to ensure they get enough light without getting burned.
