Eat a "tonic pill"
In spring maintenance of Tiger Skin Orchid, many plant lovers encounter problems such as slow growth of young buds or even no new buds sprouting at all. In most cases, this is due to the lack of fertility in the soil and insufficient nutrition in the plant. As long as you regularly add fertilizer to the potting soil to supplement the plant's nutrition, the problem can be completely solved.
The fertilizer added to Tiger Skin Orchid is mainly high in nitrogen content, such as decomposed organic fertilizer, compound fertilizer, foliage plant nutrient solution, etc. However, today I will teach you a method to make your own fertilizer: using soybeans as fertilizer. Soybeans contain a lot of nitrogen, and properly processed into fertilizer, it can provide a large amount of nutrients for Tiger Skin Orchid, with a particularly good effect, as if the plant has eaten a "tonic pill."
Fertilizer production method
First, we need to prepare a small handful of soybeans. There is no need to use good quality soybeans; moldy, furry, or inedible beans can all be used to make flower fertilizer.
Soak the soybeans in a bowl with clear water overnight.
Put the soaked soybeans in a pot, add water, and cook for a while. Turn off the heat and let it cool after the soybeans become soft. Cooking the soybeans softens them, making the nutrients inside easier to decompose and shortening the fermentation time of the fertilizer.
Remove the cooked and cooled soybeans from the pot and mash them with a rolling pin.
