Few gardeners know that ordinary aquarium water can be a great alternative to purchased fertilizers.
An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh spoke about the intricacies of carrying out such feeding.
The benefit of aquarium water is that it contains a large number of substances that stimulate plant growth.
In addition, this liquid is very soft and has a neutral pH.
You can use aquarium water as an additional source of nutrition for flowers grown on the windowsill in the spring or early summer.
This is the time when active growth of leaves and shoots of plants begins.
From mid-summer onwards, you should stop using this type of fertilizer.
In an effort to give flowers the best, the main thing is not to overdo it - due to the content of microscopic algae, which can cause greening and acidification of the soil, it is worth using aquarium water for watering about once a month.
