Lovely advise. Will do it and when my orchid revives, she has no blooms for three years, I will send you photos. Thanks from Macedonia.
Please do! I would love to see it when you bring it back to full glory 💕
I keep Phalaenopsis orchids in tall vase water (filter or drinking water)
easy care - just change water every 2-3 weeks .
Avoid water touching the leaves.
I keep all my orchids in orchid bark. It's also easy care and you only need to change it every 1-2 years!
Easy to do so no excuses
yes no excuses
awesomeee
thanks

i put small pieces of charcoal near the roots of my Cattleya to avoid fungus and other insects to come near.
great .. charcoal also helps clarify the water and allows for that good aeration they need 💯🫂

Hi so great! 😃 Only I didn’t hear how long to soak in garlic water? Anyone know answer? Thanks
just until the mix is totally saturated , often 5 min should do it
I wish you'll do updates on the garlic and ginger videos so we can see the dying orchids rejuvenated.
I'd like to know How often you water the orchid with garlic water when you're treating it?
Hi i didnt know garlic was good for Orchid thank you .
And I didn't know that ginger was good for them😮
Thanks for mentioning it😊
@@DorisMorris-uv2fc8month 7
When and How do you use ginger?
for treating a struggling orchid I use it once a week for a month then taper off to once every 2 weeks and as it starts to recover once a month till it is looking better . but remember to flush occasionally
Well you share how garlic used. Pls appreciate your reply. Thank you so much
once a week for the first month then 2 times a month and as it gets better once a month till it has revived fully 💕 I think that's what you are asking for
Wonderful vid please is it good also against slugs and snails?
Yes it does help repel them and I also have a Slugs and Snails video here th-cam.com/video/q-A7Cq1mJaU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=X-OL9t0M08F_ARfx
I use garlic infused alcohol as a pest treatment if I see anything on my orchids as well as a preventative 👍🏼
Thank you for the tip. I'm an orchids lover. I'm always looking for a better way to care for them. I have rescued a few orchids with health issues. One of the issues is scales and fungus.
Yes and garlic helps with both of these . 👍
Hello and welcome. I want to subscribe to the channel. Since I live in Poland, I have a bit of a problem with understanding some details exactly. If possible, please add the Polish language in the subtitle settings - i.e. translation.
Thanks I have added Polish but it is only auto translate . so I hope it is good. Let me know if iI can add to any other video you want to watch.
@@thenaturecompany If it's not a problem, please add either Polish language or automatic translation option to each video, and I'll set my own language. Thank you very much for your reply and positive reaction.
I know that rain water is equally advisable and used boiled water over couple of hrs is not harmful
yes boiled water is ok because some of the minerals are removed from boiling , although not all of them
Thank u for sharing. How often do you have to do this?
if you have a severe problem then once a week for 4 weeks and then pull back to once a month
Your video was great, thanks! How long do you soak the orchid in the garlic tonic?
Thanks for watching. 10 to 15 minutes is fine.
Can I use that concoction on other house plants ?
yes
Thank you sharing. Im going to start using it. Can you let me know how often to i have to spray on the orchids. Also can i use on other leafy plants. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing may i ask how ofen to use garlic
Don't over use.. 2 times a month is safe
Thanks for sharing, how often can you do this treatment?
it depends on the state of your orchid , once a week for suffering orchids for 1 month then reduce down to every 2 weeks then once a month till health again
Thank you for the instruction.
I will try this today with already prepared garlic tonic. You say 'in moderation', what frequency do you recommend?
if your orchid needs the boost then once a week to start with then reduce 👍
❤❤
thanks for watching
Tq for your tips.how about vanda can we used garlic also
Yes you can
Great tip and thank you 😍 Just wondering where are you in South Africa?
Kloof Durban thanks for watching
@@thenaturecompany Ahh -thanks. I was there once, many years ago ☺
Thanks for video. I have one question, as your orchid plant grow, do you need to transfer into a bigger pot?
Thank you.
depending on the orchid media you are growing in you will need to replace it every second year or so and depending on which type of orchid it is . Phalaenopsis can often grow in the same size container for their entire lives (also depending if you bought it mature or not . )
Thank you for this tip about the garlic for orchids. I wonder if this remedy helps any other plants?
yes
Once you make the garlic solution, how long can you save it for.
a week refrigerated
Thank you so much
Please could you tell how often do I water the the orchid after I have given them the garlic water
Again I thank you so much
My kindest Regards
Barbra. U K
Usually it is every two to fertilize with garlic water
it depends on the state of your orchid , to start I use it once a week for a month then twice a month for a while and then once a month till it is fully revived 👍💕
How long can i keep the garlic dillution?
2 weeks
How long do you leave the plant in the diluted garlic solution? Thx.
not long .. just long enough to get the media completely wet with the tonic 5 to 10 min usually
Thanks for sharing all your tips, really appreciate as a new plant mum. please i have a question, if i only water some plants once a month, can i use this garlic water only as the only water for the plants. is it safe for my plants. My plants are zz plants, snake plants and peace lilies ( peace lillies needs watering often though)
Also my second question even if i dont have a fungai gnats yet can i still be using this as a preventative always?
for something like this i would only use it every second month as we dont want to keep the concentrations of the garlic too high 👍yes doing it this way should help prevent them
Thank you 😊
Am so sorry but I have another question. Can I use both the egg shell method and garlic methods in one plants, maybe spacing it out like the eggshell methods one month, garlic water another month. Is it safe or just one method is preferred. Of all the TH-cam videos have watched, yours is genuine and you definitely know what you are talking about, I think that why I have all these questions, am so sorry.
is garlic water good for Dendro too
Yes it is fine for dendro keep a diluted solution.
What potting mix you are using for Phalenopsis?
I use fine barks - moss
we prefer bark
Would this benefit other plants also?
💯 this is great for almost anywhere in the garden
Can I used for my dendrodium, mokara en vanda
Yes , it even works well with all your other houseplants too
How long is the tonic in the spray bottle good for use?
it is good for about a week but if you refrigerate it probably several 👍
Could sprout inhabitants(for improved shelf life)hamper the efficacy of garlic/ginger as a spray for orchids? Cheers from Western Australia Jan
oh I certainly would think so . A lot of the micro nutrients and active ingredients in these natural products are often very volatile and other chemical additives will de-activate them . I would suggest you make them at home and use them directly . Rather make smaller quantities that you can use up in a month or so if storing them well . I hope this answers your question . Sorry for the delayed reply
@@thenaturecompany thanks
How often do you use it? Thank you!
it depends on the state of your orchid to revive one use it every week for 4 weeks and then around once a month .. hope this helps
This is the 4th vid ive watched on using gaelic wTer for orchids and benefits.
None of yu mentioned how often ITS to be used though. Once a month? Every two weeks? Yu say use in moderación. So how often?
it is all dependent on the state of your orchid , if it needs the boost then once a week for several weeks till it has recovered somewhat and then reduced to once a month is often enough to give your orchid the boost it needs for healthy happy growth . I hope this helps
@@thenaturecompany
Yes It did. I got a clearer picture.
Thanks for the quick response
How many times I can used this garlic water
th-cam.com/video/tZhQwv4h5a4/w-d-xo.html
How often is too often? I don't want to overuse it. Thank you
if your plants are healthy and you are just using to boost and keep pests at bay then use it once a month , if your orchids are unwell you can use it move often to stabilize their condition 👍
How long do I leave the plant in the water?
not long 5 or 10 minutes depending if you are soaking the media too just to be sure all the media has been moistened with the tonic 👍
How long do you soak your Orchid please?
not long just enough to ensure the media and the roots were saturated 👍
Can powdered garlic be used?
Yes as long as its a natural powder and not synthetic
Is garlic water good for indoor plants? Some of my indoor plants I'm struggling to save them.
yes it is good for all plants and helps with pests 🫰
@@thenaturecompany ♥️
Is garlic tonec can be used in dendribium and vandas....
Yes.
yes you can and it is good for all your house plants too
what do you do with left over diluted garlic water? how to keep it and use it later?
the diluted one you can keep refrigerated for a week or 2 👍
How about concentrated garlic water?
You said 1 to 10 on the second phase of dilution but you poured it into a liter. Can you confirm the second dilution ratio?
The Ratio is 1 To 10 . A approximation will be fine too . Thanks for watching.

Can someone please tell me how long to leave it in the garlic water please
just long enough to drench the media completely depending on the media between 5 and 10 min should be fine
How often should the orchid be watered with garlic tonic.
if your orchid is needing TLC then you can use it more often if it is healthy and you just boosting then just use it once a month
How often do you spray garlic water on your orchids
once a month as preventative and when an orchid is in need more often
What about using cinnamon for fungus and ants
yes I use cinnamon a lot if you see in some of my other videos I explain how I use it 🫰 I have not tried it to repel ant yet .interesting 😍
Can I put the garlic water through a blender so I don't have to strain the garlic?
you can but you may still have fibers in your blend and if you are spraying even if you blended some of the thicker parts will probably clog up the small sprayer nozzles
What is the difference between garlic and banana with rice water other than the potassium
garlic also has antibacterial and antifungal properties and it has different active ingredients to boost your plants 👍
Can I wipe my orchids leaves with garlic tonic every day ? Because the leaves look not healthy ( bit yellow and dry )
no i would not suggest every day . Once a week is enough . after 4 weeks pull back to once a month and see how it goes . sorry it took so long for me to see your question 🫂
How often can you do this?
it depends on the state of your orchid but do not over use for extended periods
I boil the garlic and leave overnight to cool before watering the orchids
I just dont add heat to my garlic as I am not sure how the active ingredients in the garlic are affected by temperature increases
Does the garlic tonic smell up the house?
depends on how many plants you have
I hav spiders living in my orchid pots,can see the webs in morning,do you hav this problems, plse how to rid if them.. plse😮😮😊😊
Neem oil, fungus spray
is it spiders or red spider mite ? Neem oil is a very good way of doing it or the garlic should help too
👍💯
can we use it without waiting for 24 hrs?
you can but there will be less of the active ingredients in the water . some people boil it to draw out the ingredients faster but the heat can alter the chemical composition of some of the compounds .
Why did you cut off the tip of the leaf? The garlic didn’t stop the disease?
it is to remove the residual , so as to limit the possibility of reinfection in the case something survives 👍
How do i stop mouse eating my house plants
feed him
How often can you soak orchid into diluted Garlic Tonic?
often only once to treat the media but if you have a reoccuring problem it is best to change the media . If you have any other question just ask 👍🫂
The same garlic water i can put all my orchid plant … one by one … please reply 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
not all orchids .cattleya and phalaenopsis but so cannot handle it
@@thenaturecompany sorry u don’t understand my question… i wants to know that I have 10 orchids so i have to make 10 liter garlic water for easch plant or ,I can make 2/3 liter then I can soak my orchids pot .. same water … ?
@@mahmuda606 yes soak all orchids in same water, but if one plant is unhealthy dont use same tonic
@@thenaturecompany 1000 thanks for reply …. Best of luck for ur channel and ur garden 🪴
You did not say how long to soak the plant in the garlic water!!!!!!
usually around 5 min is long enough to ensure the media has been completely wet with the tonic , if you media is really dry then 15 min
Epson solt
thanks for reminding me I will do a video on this too
I couldn’t hear what he was saying!🙁
sorry We have new mics now and the sound is better but thanks for watching
Thank you - grateful for the warning to not over do the garlic water. 🦘
pleasure .. we here to make sure your orchids grow . appreciate you being a part of the community
What happens if garlic sits fir longer than 48 hrs? Should we start again or dilute the more concentrated mixture?
after 24 hours the majority of the active ingredients are drawn from the garlic already so no need to dilute further . The sooner you use it the better .
Thanks
