Spring has come, which means that begonias have begun their active growing season.

At this time, it is worth feeding the plant with liquid fertilizer every 14 days if you want it to delight you with lush greenery and abundant flowering.

Unfortunately, due to the cost of mineral complexes, such care can make a hole in the pocket of any gardener, so it is worth finding a worthy replacement for them.

This agent is yeast, which contains cytokinins and auxins - these components contribute to increased growth activity and full development of the flower.

To prepare a yeast-based fertilizer, you will need to mix 1 g of dry yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar.

Pour a liter of warm water over the resulting mixture and stir until the dry ingredients are completely dissolved.

Leave the future fertilizer to infuse for three hours.

After the specified time, dilute the infusion with water in a ratio of 1 to 5 and you can start watering. The yeast solution is allowed to be added 5 times a year.
