Oddly enough, many of the products that are available in every kitchen can be used as fertilizer for indoor plants – and, admittedly, quite effective fertilizers!

Take the well-known bay leaf - according to gardeners with many years of experience, it can strengthen, improve the health and stimulate the growth of a potted flower.

Preparing fertilizer based on this spice will not take much of your time and effort.

And you won’t need much “raw material” – just 4 bay leaves.

Place them in a jar and pour in a liter of hot water, about 70 degrees, and close the container with a lid.

After 3-4 hours, the infusion will cool to room temperature and can be used for watering or spraying.

In addition, you can use the resulting product to wipe the leaves of plants with a cotton pad soaked in it.

Another way to use it is to place flower pots in a basin filled with this infusion for a few minutes – this way all the useful vitamins and microelements will pass into the soil.
