Introduction:
Orchids are beautiful, delicate plants that brighten up any space, but keeping them healthy and promoting vibrant growth can sometimes be a challenge. Surprisingly, there’s a simple trick that can encourage your orchid to grow more lushly and bloom more abundantly. All it takes is a small handful of the right natural material placed carefully around your plant.

Why This Works:
Orchids thrive when their roots receive the right balance of nutrients and moisture. By placing a handful of organic material around the base of the plant, you:

Provide a slow-release source of nutrients.

Help retain moisture in the potting medium.

Improve aeration around the roots, which orchids need for healthy growth.

What You Can Use:

Compost or well-rotted plant material: Adds essential nutrients.

Crushed eggshells: Supplies calcium for stronger stems and flowers.

Orchid bark or coconut coir mix: Helps retain moisture without waterlogging roots.
