Hello, dear readers and admirers! If you have been looking at the pages of my blog for several days now, you should know that I always prefer to do everything with my own hands. You also know very well that I am a big fan of indoor plants, and I have a lot of them. What conclusion can be drawn from this? That's right, today I will tell you what kind of food for indoor flowers at home is prepared from the simplest products. I dare to say that homemade fertilizers are in no way inferior to expensive store-bought preparations, and they will cost you almost nothing! Are you already wondering how this is possible? There is nothing complicated or mysterious, and now you will see for yourself!
Treat your plants with bananas
I won’t mislead you - you don’t need fruits to prepare fertilizers; you can eat them before you start making plants that are useful for your pets. You will make the fertilizer from banana skins - they contain a huge amount of elements that are so necessary for house plants.
The easiest and fastest way to use banana skins is to dry them in the oven or in the sun, and use a coffee grinder to turn them into a homogeneous fine powder. It can be stored in tightly closed containers for quite a long time. How to use banana dry fertilizer? Spread a thin layer of powder over the surface of the soil in containers with plants.
Now, with each watering, the most beneficial content of the fruit will penetrate into the soil. I almost forgot to warn you - you shouldn’t use banana fertilizer more than once a month.
If you prefer to use liquid fertilizers, then here too you can resort to the beneficial properties of banana skins. Preparing fertilizer is simple, you will need:
- 1 liter of water;
- 2 banana skins.
Infuse the banana liquid for about a week, strain, dilute with the same amount of clean water and pour over your pets. How often can you use banana fertilizer? I think once or twice a month is enough.
The secret to the effectiveness of the recipe
Various liquid extracts and granular fertilizers can also provide excellent results. They can cause accelerated growth or increased fruiting by increasing the concentration of vitamins in plant tissues. But this does not make the soil any better. And the option of fertilizing the land with egg whites will have a longer lasting effect with an expanded spectrum of action.
What is the secret of such effectiveness of egg white infusion is not advertised. Scientific works on this topic are also not easy to find. Therefore, ordinary lovers of caring for their green pets can only trust the advice of their ancestors and make all kinds of guesses. According to one opinion, the secret of this recipe lies in the composition of the egg white. In addition to water, proteins, fats and carbohydrates, it contains various enzymes, B vitamins and glucose.
It is glucose that is considered a very important, even vital, substance for home flowers.
After all, it is not only a universal building material from which complex molecules of such organic substances as cellulose, lipids, starch, proteins and nucleic acids are formed. In addition, glucose carries deposits of energy necessary for growth, respiration, nutrition, fruiting, reproduction and other life processes of plants.
Plant growth by leaps and bounds – literally
I suggest you make plant food from the most common ingredient in pies - yeast. Do you think I'm joking? Nothing happened, even scientists studied the wonderful properties of yeast and were convinced that the product has a positive effect on plants, promoting rapid growth and lush development.
How to feed your pets with yeast? Prepare a simple mixture that includes:
- 5 gr. yeast (if you chose dry, then half a bag, if pressed, then a quarter of a teaspoon);
- 35 gr. Sahara;
- half a bucket of warm water.
Mix the mixture well and leave for several hours. You can safely start feeding the plants, but first dilute the liquid with warm water (for a half-liter jar of fertilizer - one and a half liters of water). Since I have a lot of pets, this portion of yeast fertilizer is used up completely, but if you have few flowers, then you can prepare the solution in smaller quantities.
I advise you to alternate banana feeding with yeast - the result will certainly delight you!
