Mix the milk and water thoroughly to ensure even distribution. For soil application, use approximately 8 teaspoons of this diluted mixture per orchid pot once a month. The remaining solution can be transferred to a spray bottle for foliar application.
Foliar spraying should be done sparingly, ideally in the morning to allow leaves to dry during the day, reducing the risk of fungal infections. Always test the solution on a small portion of the plant before widespread use to observe any adverse reactions.
5. Applying the milk mixture
Applying the milk-water mixture correctly maximizes its benefits for your orchid. For soil watering, carefully pour the recommended amount around the base of the plant, avoiding direct contact with the crown to prevent rot. This method delivers nutrients directly to the roots for uptake.
