Homemade flower fertilizer works better than nutrient solution, ready in 2 hours, makes whatever you grow thrive
A few days ago, a flower-loving friend left a comment saying that growing flowers sometimes feels quite frustrating, because growing flowers always requires fertilizing, and without fertilizer the potted flowers just won't grow well or bloom beautifully. But when it comes to fertilizing, they don't want to use inorganic fertilizer, feeling it has no nutrition. They used to grow fruit trees and are used to it, feeling that organic fertilizers like barnyard manure and chicken manure are the best, but the smell is just too unpleasant!
This situation is actually very common, and quite a few flower lovers simply give up fertilizing altogether. What that brings is yellow leaves, leaves that aren't green, and flower buds that are especially small. Actually, there are little tricks to solve this. For example, what we're sharing today, using "it" to water flowers, really works better than anything, and the key is that it's easy to prepare.
This thing is "leaf mold leachate”。
Leaf mold leachate is the liquid filtered out after mixing leaf mold with water, stirring it, and letting it sit for 2 hours. Everyone knows what leaf mold is - it's soil formed from fallen twigs and leaves accumulating over a long period in a dark, damp environment. This kind of soil is commonly found in the wild, in small woods, by river bridges, and so on. It is rich in humus and a large amount of growth-promoting microorganisms, as well as some nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium elements.
Using this liquid to water flowers is equivalent to a natural nutrient solution. Moreover, it has no unpleasant odor at all, and also has a very good fertilizing effect.
Besides being nutritious, using leaf mold leachate to water flowers also makes the potting soil looser and more breathable. It helps with the situation of compacted flower pots, preventing the plant roots from rotting. Of course, there are also particular ways to use it for watering flowers. For example, some flowers are suitable for watering with it, and some are not. The pH of leaf mold leachate is slightly acidic, so it is more suitable for watering acid-loving flowers, such as clivia, gardenia, spider plant, and others, for which it is very practical.
That's all for sharing the knowledge about natural nutrient solution for watering flowers. Thank you for reading. If you have better flower-growing experience and tips, everyone is welcome to leave me comments and submissions, so that more people who love growing flowers can see them. When it comes to growing flowers, no matter how good the technique is, you have to put your heart into it to grow them well!
