Take a small container or jar and add 1-2 tablespoons of uncooked rice.
Pour in water until the rice is completely submerged.
Soak the rice in water for 24-48 hours.
Strain the rice water into another container and discard the rice grains.
Dilute the strained rice water with an equal amount of fresh water.
Use this diluted rice water to water your orchids once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
