Is the orchid not doing well? Garlic revives tired plants. Thanks to its many sulfur compounds (allicin) and essential oils, garlic is effective against viruses, bacteria and fungi.

It is also effective on other house plants, for example as a natural fungicide against mildew. Pests such as lice, spider mites or thrips can also be repelled with it. During the growth phase, garlic water is also said to act as anatural fertilizer, as the clove contains nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
