The most popular plant on windowsills in cities and villages is geranium. It blooms beautifully all year round and does not require special care.

But some attention wouldn't hurt. It's important that all efforts are done without harm.

An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told what harmful fertilizer is often recommended for use on geraniums.

Among gardeners and florists, there is an opinion that yeast fertilizers are beneficial for many cultivated plants, including fruit-bearing and decorative ones.

Not everyone agrees with this statement, and there is some truth in it.

In fact, yeast fertilizers for indoor plants can be harmful, if not dangerous.

If you get carried away, mold may appear in the pot with the plant, and the geranium will eventually begin to rot and die.

What can you feed geranium with?

Fans of natural supplements will be interested to know that it is much safer to use ash in such cases.

But even in this case, it is important to remember that not all plants benefit from this useful and natural supplement.
