Gardeners often ask why a newly bought flower always comes home covered in blooms, but after they grow it for a while and it reblooms, it turns into just a few sparse flowers? I really want to ask, did you fertilize? Did you prune? If you want a potted plant with glossy green leaves and abundant blooms, pruning and fertilizing are essential.

Gardeners often ask why a newly bought flower always comes home covered in blooms, but after they grow it for a while and it reblooms, it turns into just a few sparse flowers? I really want to ask, did you fertilize? Did you prune? If you want a potted plant with glossy green leaves and abundant blooms, pruning and fertilizing are essential.

But we are really lazy, and fertilizing is such a hassle, plus you have to go out and buy it separately. Little Bai Mei'er will share some fairly simple ways to fertilize flowers: no need to buy anything special, just use some ready-made waste materials from home to make your own plant nutrient solution, dilute it with water and pour it on the flowers, and it is no worse than bought fertilizer.

1. Leftover milk or milk powder

If you have expired milk at home, or milk powder water left over from your child, do not pour it out. Collect it and ferment it to grow flowers, and the effect is especially great.

How to use: Put the waste milk with clean water in a bottle, leave it in the sun to ferment for a month, then dilute it with clean water 100 times and use it directly to water the flowers. It can make the leaves of foliage plants such as pothos and ivy grow glossier green, with stronger roots.

2. Fermented fruit peel

Apple peel, orange peel and the like are good stuff after fermentation, especially suitable for all kinds of acid-loving flowers, such as gardenia, jasmine, camellia, rhododendron, etc., and can make them bloom more and more brilliantly.

How to use: Cut the leftover fruit peel into small pieces, add clean water, put it in a bottle and ferment for about a month. Take the upper clear liquid, dilute it with water 100 times, and then use it directly to water the flowers. It can prevent potted plant leaves from turning yellow.

3. Rusty water

If you are a gardener who likes to grow hydroponic plants at home, you can soak a few rusty iron nails to make some rusty water. When changing the water for hydroponic plants each month, drip in a few drops of rusty water, and it can do a very good job of preventing hydroponic plant leaves from turning yellow.

Gardeners, what other useful plant-watering liquids have you used? You are welcome to leave a comment and share your care experience.
