Homemade flower fertilizer smells too bad? Throw a few grains of this into the pot, and pothos and spider plants will grow like crazy

As the saying goes, if you want flowers to grow well, fertilizer is indispensable. Nowadays there are more and more homemade flower fertilizer methods. Never mind how well they work, there is one word you cannot escape: "stinky." Although all kinds of homemade flower fertilizers are eco-friendly and save money, they really do stink, and for lazy gardeners like me, they are really not suitable. So what should you do when the plants at home are short on fertilizer?

I recommend a rather hassle-free fertilizer: compound fertilizer. It is especially suitable for foliage plants at home, particularly these must-grow potted plants for lazy people such as pothos, spider plants and ivy. Note this: compound fertilizers also come in many types when you buy them. For pothos and spider plants, use a compound fertilizer with a relatively high nitrogen content, and be sure not to buy one that is high in phosphorus.

How to use: use 1-2 times a month. When using, just take 3-4 grains, dissolve them in water, and pour the solution directly into the flower pot.

Summer is the vigorous growth period for pothos and spider plants. Generally, using it 1-2 times a month is enough. During this period, do not apply any other fertilizer, so as to avoid burning the roots.

After summer arrives, when caring for pothos and spider plants you also need to pay attention to the following points to make it easier for them to grow into a bursting pot.

1. Do not expose them to strong sun, to avoid yellowing leaves and dry tips; it is best to grow them in a place with diffused light and good ventilation

2. Spray the leaves with water in the morning and evening to increase air humidity

3. Do not water too much, to avoid waterlogging and root rot; just keep the potting soil slightly moist.

From now on, when the foliage plants at home are short on fertilizer, you can directly use compound fertilizer, and you no longer need all kinds of fermented flower fertilizers. After all, fermenting flower fertilizer in summer really does smell a bit bad!
