Some gardeners have free and unique plant food at home.

Aquarium water is rich in nitrogen and phosphorus, making it an excellent fertilizer for indoor flowers and seedlings.

Why Aquarium Water Is Effective

Fish live in the aquarium, algae and bacteria develop. Such liquid contains many nutrients, so it is called "living water".

Microflora lives due to the work of a special filter. If it is turned off, all inhabitants of the aquarium will die. Accordingly, such water will become less useful for flowers, because only nutrients will remain in it.

The most useful water is the one that contains a lot of nitrates. This can be determined using a special test.

How to water

Aquarium water is used to water flowers once every 10-14 days. If the liquid contains a lot of sediment, it should be diluted with clean water before use.

With regular use of aquarium water, the flowers will gradually acquire a healthy appearance: the leaves will become greener, the buds will become more lush, the yellowness will disappear, and new shoots will appear.
