Orchids are one of the most beautiful indoor plants thanks to their unique colors, and if you want them to look better, it is important to know how to fertilize them.

The flowering period of orchids usually falls in early spring, so it is important that they receive the necessary nutrients to maintain their growth and abundant flowering. A simple way to provide a sufficient amount of calcium for orchids is to feed them with homemade fertilizers from eggshells, writes OBOZ. UA. Calcium is one of the key nutrients for the structural support of the plant and will make the orchid more healthy and sustainable.

Orchids need calcium to grow strong floral spikelets; If they lack calcium, their kidneys are likely to dry out and fall out prematurely.

Calcium top dressing also helps it to grow stronger roots, which will allow the plant more efficiently absorb water.
