Stop Buying Flower Fertilizer for Your Plants, the Pros All Use Homemade Rooting Water
Generally, when symptoms like yellow leaves appear, most people wonder whether something is wrong with the way they water, or whether the plants need fertilizer. At this point, a large number of flower lovers head to the flower market to buy fertilizer. In fact, the true masters of flower growing rarely use fertilizer on their plants; they prefer to make their own "rooting water," which is not only safe but also works well!
The homemade fertilizer waters we commonly see in daily life are usually willow branch water, soybean water or rice washing water and the like. They all contain large amounts of elements that can provide nutrients for the growth of flowers and plants. Today, Huahua is here again to introduce 3 different kinds of "rooting water," and the raw materials are even easier to get.
1. Aloe water
Aloe is also a common potted plant in our homes. Aloe raw liquid contains a large amount of nutrients and is very effective for human health, which is an important reason why aloe extract is added to cosmetics. In the same way, aloe juice is so powerful, so using it to grow flowers is also extremely effective.
What we need to do is first pick one leaf and branch off the aloe, then use a juicer or some other method to extract the juice. At this point the aloe juice is rather thick and quite viscous, so do not use it directly on flowers and plants. You can mix the aloe juice with water in proportion to form aloe water, and using it on flowers can make the branches and leaves more glossy.
2. Potato peel water
Many people may have a bit of doubt when they first see this title: potato peels soaked in water can be used to grow flowers? The answer is yes. Potatoes contain a large amount of starch and other nutrients, and potato peels likewise contain quite a bit of nitrogen. Using potato peels to grow flowers can supplement the nutrient elements the plants need, so naturally they will grow more vigorously.
The process of making potato peel water is relatively simple. We collect the potato peels left over from eating potatoes, put them into a container that can be sealed, then add water until it is about eight-tenths full, just to prevent an explosion. Then we put the water-added potato peels in a cool place to ferment, and after about half a month they are ready to take out and use.
3. Banana peel water
This banana peel water is surprisingly similar in effect to the potato peel water above. Bananas are a good thing for growing flowers. We can directly cut up banana peels and put them into the soil to provide nutrients, and they can also be made into a mild fertilizer water to water flowers with regularly.
To make the mild banana peel fertilizer water, we first need to cut the banana peels into small pieces, so that the fermentation speed after adding water will be faster. We put the water and banana peels into a container at the same time, and finally place it in a dark spot and wait for fermentation to finish.
Pour these three kinds of "rooting water" on your flowers, and the roots will be robust and the leaves will be more glossy. If the plants in your home are suffering from yellow leaves and root rot, then go ahead and make some, and you guaranteed will not regret it!
