You can find a lot of advice on the Internet on how to feed indoor plants with whatever you have on hand.
However, many of these supplements are useless at best.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, tells us what you shouldn’t feed flowers with and how to choose the right fertilizer.
How to feed flowers
Do not use eggshells, banana peels, coffee grounds, tea leaves or sugar as fertilizer, as this may harm the plants.
If you are a beginner gardener and only keep unpretentious plants, any universal fertilizer for indoor flowers will do.
In general, garden stores now have a wide range of products: there are special fertilizers for orchids, succulents, cacti, camellias, azaleas, etc.
It is desirable that the fertilizer contains not only minerals, but also organic matter. Most often, these are humic substances, for example, potassium humate.
