You can save a flower that looks rather tired even without expensive store-bought fertilizers.

So, experienced owners of “green pets” use oatmeal for these purposes, which can probably be found in any kitchen cupboard.

Grind the oatmeal into a powder, then sprinkle the resulting crumbs onto the soil.

All that remains is to thoroughly mix the oat powder with the soil – this way the fertilizer will be better absorbed and you can consider the job done.

However, there is another option for using oatmeal as a fertilizer for indoor plants.

This time you will have to prepare the solution. To do this, pour half a glass of oatmeal with a liter of clean water and leave for half an hour.

After 30 minutes, drain the water into a separate container. All that remains is to dilute the concentrate with clean water in a ratio of 1 to 4 and you can moisten the soil in the flowerpots.

By the way, fertilizers prepared according to these recipes are suitable not only for flowers, but also for seedlings.
