Growing roses: it is not about how much fertilizer you pile on - 5 kinds of household flower fertilizers to feed heavily

As the saying goes: "Whether it lives or not depends on water, whether it grows or not depends on fertilizer." Roses happen to be heavy feeders, so with proper fertilization, rose plants grow strong with lush leaves and bright, large blooms. So, when growing roses, what fertilizer should you use? There are plenty of flower fertilizers right in everyday life!

The first household flower fertilizer: hair fertilizer

Chicken and duck feathers, pig bristles, hair and livestock hooves and horns from daily life - do not mind the mess, just bury them directly in the rose pot, and the fertilizer effect can last more than two years.

The second household flower fertilizer: Chinese herbal medicine residue

Chinese herbal medicine residue is a clean flower fertilizer with high nutrient content. Mixed into the surface of the rose potting soil, it can improve the rose potting soil and also help keep the potting soil moist. If it is soaked and composted into fully rotted fertilizer water and used to water roses, the fertilizer effect is even better.

The third household flower fertilizer: miscellaneous water fertilizer

Rice-washing water and plant ash water contain certain nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. They are both compound fertilizers and mild fertilizers, and do not harm rose roots. Used to water roses, they can promote well-developed root systems and lush branches and leaves. They are also convenient to use - as long as the rose potting soil is not waterlogged, they can be used at any time. So convenient.

Some city flower growers find these household flower fertilizers rather hard to come by, and some consider the indoor environment, so they use a dedicated organic nutrient solution for roses instead. It is fermented from sugarcane residue, is very rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and can regulate rose growth, grow roots, promote flowers and prevent yellow leaves. Just dilute it 500 times and water once a week.

The fourth household flower fertilizer: eggshell and soybean fertilizer

Crush eggshells and bury them in the rose pot - it is a very good fertilizer that can make roses grow luxuriantly with abundant leaves and bright flowers; for cooked soybeans, open three holes per rose pot, put in 3~5 cooked soybean seeds, 2~3 cm deep, and cover with soil.

The fifth household flower fertilizer: beer flower fertilizer

Beer contains protein, sugar, phosphate, amino acids, carbon dioxide, ethanol and other components, and is a good fertilizer for growing roses indoors. Beer for growing roses can be used both as a foliar feed and applied directly to the soil. When using, after mixing beer with water at a 1:1 ratio, spray it on the leaves or at the roots with a fine-nozzle watering can, and it can make rose leaves emerald green and glossy with a thick, substantial texture.

With these 5 household flower fertilizers above, as long as flower growers are willing to make them themselves, they are all very good organic fertilizers for growing roses, and all contain various nutrient elements needed by roses and rich organic matter. Besides their fertilizer effect, they can also improve the soil, helping the soil form granular structure, coordinating the ratio of air and moisture in the soil, and benefiting the growth and development of rose roots and their absorption of nutrients. They are indispensable fertilizers in rose cultivation.
