When the flowers in the pots are weak, I rush to the pharmacy. 3 remedies (almost for nothing) restore health to plants. I write how it is correct
Fiery fireworks, fellow flower growers!
Today's agenda is helping houseplants that weaken and look dying. This often happens in winter. This is due to a natural decrease in lighting and a decrease in air humidity.
Of course, for the restoration of home flowers, it is advisable to make growing conditions more favorable. But some folk remedies can help a houseplant come to life and again delight its owner with a magnificent appearance.
Hydrogen peroxide is a godsend for roots: flooded and healthy
When my spathiphyllum hung the leaves, I was surprised. I water it regularly, but here it is. It turned out that I just overdid it with watering. The earthen ball was too wet.
The first measure is to temporarily stop watering and wait for the soil to dry. And then the time comes for a wonderful elixir for roots - a solution of hydrogen peroxide. The liquid saturates the soil with oxygen and loosens the soil in the pot from the inside
. The root system of any plant begins to breathe better and the poor fellow quickly returns to normal. This is beneficial for both sick flowers and healthy ones: good aeration has not prevented anyone yet.To feed your houseplant with hydrogen peroxide, use a 3% product. Dissolve in warm, settled water: 1 teaspoon per 1 liter. Water the flower when the time is right.
Vitamin B12: I didn't believe it until I tried it. Geranium said thank you
Perhaps every grower is faced with yellowing of geranium leaves in the autumn-winter period. Still, the sun shines less and less. That cannot but affect the state of the greenery. The fact that the leaves turn yellow and fall off is natural. But when things get out of hand, it's time to take action.
From my own experience, I noticed that the leaves of pelargonium turn yellow less after feeding with vitamin B12. Other flowers also change for the better. I read a couple of years ago that B12 increases the stress tolerance of indoor plants and it seems to work.
Top dressing is very simple. Only 1 ampoule per 1 liter of water. I use this recipe both in case of deterioration in the appearance of home flowers, and for prevention.
Glucose: enhanced nutrition
Most flower growers feed flowers with mineral fertilizers. But they forget about the organic nutrition of indoor plants. You can use the express feeding method - use a glucose solution.
This nutritious fuel will be a treat for all the inhabitants of green windowsills. But do not use it more than 1 time a month, so that midges do not start. Insects are also those with a sweet tooth! To prepare an energy solution for wilted plants, simply stir 1 tablespoon of liquid glucose in 1 liter of water.
