Soak eggshells to make your own flower fertilizer, the effect is beyond imagination

What flowers is eggshell fertilizer suitable for?

First, let's understand eggshells. Eggshells contain minerals and protein. They have all kinds of trace elements that plants need. For example, calcium and other trace elements. These trace elements are also needed for plant growth. Plant growth mainly requires the three elements nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and other trace elements must not be missing either. Using eggshells to grow flowers is also very good, and it suits the growth of most plants and flowers.

But you must pay attention when using eggshells. Eggshells themselves, when placed into potting soil, ferment very slowly, and their fertilizer is slowly released into the potting soil. But before using them we must do a good job of it, we must wash the eggshells thoroughly clean, not keeping even a little of the egg white and such inside. After washing them clean, you can burn them over a fire, or you can put them under the sun to dry thoroughly. After they are thoroughly dried, smash them into fragments or tiny granules. Then when we repot or transplant flowers, we can appropriately mix a little into the potting soil, but the amount should not be too large. You can also dig a hole in the surface of our potting soil, bury the crushed eggshells into the potting soil, and cover them with soil. In this way its fertilizer strength is slowly released into the potting soil through fermentation in the potting soil, allowing the plant's roots to absorb it. It can supplement the trace elements the plant needs.

If you do not wash them and directly put them on the surface of the potting soil with the egg white and such still on them, first, it easily attracts insects, and on the surface of the potting soil it also cannot volatilize or decompose. Egg white and such flowing into the potting soil and fermenting can easily cause root burn. Mixing it into the potting soil or covering it up is the best way to use it. Using eggshells is the same idea as using bone meal, it can supplement the calcium element plants need for growth, but the amount must not be large.
