Even if you compose the soil for planting indoor plants correctly, taking into account all the requirements for the content of nutrients for the growth and development of flowers, after a while the land is depleted and there is a need for feeding.
It is necessary
- - mineral fertilizers;
- - organic fertilizers;
- - trace elements.
Instructions
Step 1
Complete mineral fertilization has the best effect on indoor plants. To prepare it, mix 1/3 g of superphosphate, 1/2 g of urea and 0.15 g of potassium salt. Stir the mixture and dissolve in 1 liter of water. Water the plants with this nutrient solution once every 2 weeks during the period of active growth of flowers (from March to November). For one pot with a volume of 1.5-2 liters, about 1 glass of solution is needed, while the flowers must first be watered, otherwise the fertilizer can damage them.
Step 2
A solution of mineral fertilizers can be prepared in advance and used as needed. Combine superphosphate, urea, and potassium salt. Take 1 tablespoon of the mixture and dissolve in 1/2 liter of water. Transfer to glass and cover tightly. When feeding, dilute 1 teaspoon of this concentrate in 1/2 liter of water and water the plants.
Step 3
Houseplants need trace elements such as manganese, boron and zinc. With a lack of them, flowers grow poorly. Take the salts of each of these elements at the tip of a knife, dissolve in 10 liters of water and water the plants.
Step 4
In addition to mineral fertilizers, plants need feeding with organic nutrients. manure is a universal source. To obtain organic fertilizer, it is necessary to mix mullein and water in a 1: 2 ratio. Cover the mass with a lid and leave for a few days to ferment. The fertilizer is ready when no more gas bubbles are generated in the solution. After that, the fertilizer must be diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 5 and water the plants.
Step 5
During the period of active growth and especially before flowering, top dressing must be done every week. Alternate mineral and organic fertilizers, and your favorite flowers will reward you with lush growth and abundant flowering.
