Your Orchids could do with a Beer !

With Spring feeling like an early summer, why don’t you give your orchids a beer!

Yes a beer will give them all the nutrients to give you wonderful blooms.

What you will need is:- 

1 can of beer ( if you are a Queenslander, a XXXX will do.) If you are from NSW or Victoria, A Tooheys or V.B. will suffice.

1 Cup of Epsom salts

1/2 Cup of Ammonia ( Cloudy ammonia is OK)

2 Cups of water.

Mix all four ingredients & store in a container in the fridge.

Mix 15 mls. to 4 litres of water & water your orchids liberally every couple of weeks. They will thank you by providing you with the most magnificent of blooms.

The epsom Salts is also an excellent fertiliser on its own & helps to keep the blooms strong & upright.

happy growing
