Fertilizer for indoor plants that we buy nothing ❌
All potted plants need fertilizing. More precisely, in the micro- and macronutrients. Without them, the successful growth and lush flowering impossible. This is roughly the same as food for humans.
Our house plants grow in pots - in a limited volume of soil. With the growth of a flower sucks the nutrients. Their margin is getting smaller and smaller, eventually the plants begin to bloom and grow worse.
In nature, there is a natural process of restoring soil fertility. At home, we can replace it with 2 techniques: transfer to a new land and making dressings. Now, I will discuss how manufacturers are cashing in on this, and how to save a couple of hundred rubles in my purse.
In order not to be deceived, to get sufficient liquid 2 of complex mineral fertilizers:
- For flowering houseplants (With a predominance of potassium and phosphorus). These substances stimulate the formation of buds, promote the long, frequent and bright blooms.
- For decorative hardwood (with a predominance of nitrogen) . They need the plants, whose main value - dekoratvnye leaves. And yet the young plants (such as cuttings), to increase green mass faster.
Everything. Fertilizers a la "For Violet", "orchid" - no more than a marketing ploy. Their composition is identical to the universal fertilizer "for blooming" with minor for plants changes in the formula NPK-formulation. Practical use it does not bear (and to what extent the difference is taken into account during the production of fertilizer - the big question!).
Moreover, manufacturers sometimes artificially inflate the application rate in the instructions. In order for us to spend money quickly and went to the store for a new bottle. Where it says "take 1 cap" safely measure its half. If you liked the article, please click the "Thumbs up!" Thanks.
