Orchids, Fertilizer Cubes, and Crowded Flowers: The Secret to Thriving Orchids No One Talks About

Instructions:

1. Prep the pot: Line the base with bark, ensuring strong drainage.
2. Position the orchids: Nestle the orchids closer than usual, allowing for root overlap but ensuring leaves don’t smother each other.
3. Insert the cubes: Bury the fertilizer cubes halfway into the potting mix, away from direct root contact.
4. Water lightly: Mist instead of soak for the first few days, then resume your normal watering rhythm.
5. Monitor humidity: Grouping plants increases humidity naturally, but if your air is dry, consider a nearby tray of water or a humidifier.

By combining these lesser-known techniques, you may discover your orchids thriving in ways you never imagined — lush, lively, and blooming brilliantly.
