It turns out that using fertilizer based on onion peel can lead to lush flowering of geraniums.

This type of feeding not only serves as a source of nutrition for the plant, but also strengthens its immunity and eliminates the danger of fungal diseases.

Don't be afraid: you don't need much raw material, just the peelings of three large onions.

Pour boiling water over the onion skins, then add a liter of water and leave to infuse for three days.

Use the resulting composition for root watering and foliar feeding, spraying the geranium on the leaves.

Frequency of use: once a month.
