Subtleties of applying sugar as feeding for houseplants

On the "sweet" life dream of not only people, but also plants! After all sugar has beneficial effects on growth and development.

And although the plant does not contribute to the production of endorphins due to the absence of the endocrine system, have their owners at the sight of beautiful, flowering type "ward" happy hormones are formed.

Why sugar flowers?

In nature, sugar form themselves representatives of the flora in the photosynthesis process - under the influence of light transformation occurs water and carbon dioxide, which have been absorbed by the plant, into oxygen and carbohydrates.

In the dark and with a short photoperiod processes slow down in the winter, plant in a much reduced volume produces sugar, which is its "fuel" that provides vital functions.

When to feed the sugar?

Feeding sugar better to be carried out in the autumn and winter, when the amount of natural light is minimized.

In spring and summer, it is impractical, but if the flower stands away from the light, it is recommended.

Which gives fertilizing sugar?

Sugar (glucose) has a positive effect on the development of the plant, the intensity of the formation of shoots. The leaves are sturdy, shiny.

In flowering plants - accelerates the formation of buds, improves its quantitative (number of buds) and qualitative (duration of flowering) characteristics.

How to conduct a feeding?

Sugar dressing desirably carried out under an additional artificial light.

1. The use of glucose. Dosage: 1 liter of water to be dissolved more glucose tablets (one to two).

Important! The use of glucose is important to combine with EM-inflammatory drugs (EM East, Radiance), because otherwise may develop mold, rot.

2. The use of sugar.

- preparing a solution - sugar is dissolved in water (2.1 liters). The plants are then watered with a solution not more than 1 time per month;

- sugar is poured onto the surface of a thin layer, can be slightly loosened and the upper layer of soil mix.

Important! If you make a solution, it is necessary to take into account the state of the plant, if it is poor, it is necessary to reduce the concentration.

In addition, if the flower is planted recently, you can not just make fertilizer. It is recommended to wait for about two months.

Florists say the high efficacy of the second method. But you should be careful, because a surplus of sugar, making it wrong can lead to the death of the flower.
