Add this to your potting soil and your plants won't rot roots for 10 years, with green leaves, bright flowers and no pests
For friends living in rural areas, plant ash is no stranger. Plant ash itself is a very good fertilizer. Plant ash mainly contains fast-acting potassium fertilizer, and also contains phosphorus, calcium, iron, magnesium and other effective nutrients, which can promote robust plant growth, boost disease resistance, and can also significantly improve drought resistance. Add a little of it when growing flowers in pots, and the effect of green leaves and bright flowers is really good.
Note: Plant ash must not be mixed with organic farmyard manure and ammoniacal nitrogen fertilizer, etc., so as to avoid nitrogen volatilization, and it also must not be mixed with phosphate fertilizer, which would reduce the fertilizer efficiency of the phosphate fertilizer. Because plant ash is alkaline, soil application is suitable for clay soil, acidic or neutral soil.
How to use: 1. When plant ash is used for potted flowers, it can be used as a base fertilizer, and the effect will be greatly increased, making the potted plants have green leaves and bright flowers.
2. Used as a top dressing, the leachate of plant ash can be used to water flowers with a very good effect, and plant ash can also be directly sprinkled on the potting soil.
3. When repotting flowers, you can apply a little plant ash to the wounds caused to the root system to promote wound healing, especially very useful when repotting clivia.
Tip: Plant ash is an alkaline substance. If too much is added, it is easy to make the potting soil alkaline, which not only has no effect but also affects plant growth, so pay attention to controlling the application amount, and prefer light over concentrated.
