There is a simple and effective way that will not require much time and money from you.
All you need is tea leaves. Yes, the regular tea you drink every day.
It turns out that tea contains many useful substances for plants, such as nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, iron and magnesium. These elements promote the growth and development of flowers, strengthen their immunity and protect against pests.
How to use tea leaves as fertilizer?
There are several ways:

By using tea leaves as a fertilizer for your indoor flowers, you will not only save money and get rid of chemicals, but also make your contribution to protecting the environment.
