Because indoor flowers grow in a small lump of earth, there is simply nowhere for the nutrient reserves to be replenished.

Therefore, the responsibility of every owner of a “green pet” should include such an “option” as adding fertilizer, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication “BelNovosti”, agronomist and landscape designer.

But not all gardeners agree to use fertilizers that are sold in specialized stores.

Some of them believe that ammonia is much more beneficial for plants.

Indeed, ammonia contains nitrogen in a form accessible to flowers, which is necessary for the growth and development of the green part of the plant.

Therefore, as a result of using ammonia, you will get full development of all green parts of the flower, its active growth, rich green color of leaves, as well as long and colorful flowering.

To prepare foliar feeding, you will need to mix 1 liter of water and 1 teaspoon of ammonia. Use the resulting solution for spraying.

If you want to apply fertilizer under the root, dilute 2 teaspoons in a liter of water. It is worth feeding plants in this way no more than once a month.
