Fans of organic farming claim that it is possible to support plants after winter and help them wake up after a long hibernation using folk methods.

For example, flowers weakened by short daylight hours will start to grow if you prepare a fertilizer from coffee or starch.

First of all, plants experience discomfort due to short daylight hours and lack of sunlight.

Another circumstance is dry air in apartments, as well as not always comfortable air temperatures in the room.

This is how flower growers get out of this situation.

Coffee top dressing

If you believe the supporters of this concept, then coffee can help out indoor plants. Florists claim that the beans contain nitrogen and potassium, calcium and magnesium. Used coffee is used, which is added in dry form, after drying.

They say that roses love coffee the most. And also that the pulp protects plants from pests.

Starch

A nutrient solution is prepared from potato starch. Some even get by with watering the flowers with water left over from boiling potatoes, but only cooled.

Starch greatly helps young shoots to develop. It is also added in dry form, carefully embedded in the soil.
