Turmeric Fertilizer for Indoor Plants: How Not to Harm Flowers
02.06.2024 11:34
Many plant growers use turmeric as a base for making a nutrient solution that can be used for indoor flowers or plants in the garden and vegetable garden.
If you are thinking about trying this type of fertilizer on your “green pets”, first of all, you should make sure that you have purchased high-quality “raw materials”.
How to check the authenticity of turmeric at home
If you want to make sure that you have real turmeric, you should fill a glass jar with boiling water (be careful not to break the container), and then stir a teaspoon of the spice into the hot water.
If the result is a paste or the turmeric turns into lumps, this means that wheat flour was added to the seasoning, that is, it was heavily diluted.
There are no lumps - you can breathe out, there are no impurities in the composition of turmeric.
How to determine if turmeric contains dangerous compounds
You can determine the presence or absence of dangerous lead compounds in turmeric by adding a teaspoon of copper sulfate to the turmeric solution.
A reddened solution indicates that you should be wary - it contains lead. But a dark brown color confirms that there are no lead compounds.
How to Make a Healthy Turmeric Solution
If the turmeric passes the test, dilute the resulting solution in 5 liters of water and use it to water indoor flowers or other plants from your garden or vegetable garden.
