Experienced gardeners have revealed the secret of lush flowering and healthy development of indoor plants.

According to them, owners of “green pets” should prepare already at the end of winter.

Indoor flowers are in "energy saving mode" in winter. During this period, they do not need abundant watering and fertilizing.

But closer to spring comes a period when gardeners should prepare: buy fertilizers, soil, pots and other gardening utensils.

Already at the end of February, indoor plants can be fed in the main. But it is important to do it correctly, otherwise there will be no benefit, or the flowers will be harmed.

First of all, the plants are watered abundantly. The soil ball should not be dry. Only after this is the fertilizer solution added.

Many people believe that watering before fertilizing is not necessary, because the fertilizer is already liquid. But in this case, the concentration of substances may be too high. This is fraught with damage to the roots. As a result, instead of blooming "heroes", there will be yellowing and withering "sticks".
