If you want your “green pet” to delight you with a dense crown and bright greenery, the expert of the online publication “BelNovosti”, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh reminds you of the need to properly care for it, especially when it comes to fertilizing.
Here are some little-known but effective fertilizers that make the ficus unusually lush.
Tea brewing
As a top dressing, you can use natural tea that does not contain flavorings.
The scheme is simple: one teaspoon of tea is added to the soil. This method is especially useful in winter, when the ficus especially needs support.
Dry yeast
No less effective is an infusion prepared on the basis of dry yeast.
To make it, you need to dissolve a tablespoon of yeast in a bucket of warm water and wait 24 hours.
As a result, the leaves will begin to grow actively, and the plant itself will become stronger. The frequency of using this fertilizer is once a month - this is enough for the ficus to become significantly more lush.
For reference
Ficus is a genus of plants of the Moraceae family, which forms the monotypic tribe Ficeae.
