As is known, ash is one of the best fertilizers not only for plants in the garden and vegetable garden, but also for indoor flowers.

An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told us what benefits wood burning residues can bring to aloe, violets, and begonias.

Thus, the composition of ash includes such components as potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc and sulfur.

By the way, potassium and phosphorus are present here in a form accessible to plants.

To feed the flowers, simply add ash to the soil that you are going to use when replanting your “green pets”.

Thanks to this simple action, you will be able to make the soil substrate more nutritious, as well as disinfect the soil. This means that those roots that were damaged during transplantation will be protected from rotting.

If replanting is not in your plans yet, prepare a liquid fertilizer based on ash.

All that is required is to add and stir a tablespoon of the substance in a liter of water and moisten the soil in the pots with the resulting solution.
