Houseplants require regular fertilization because the limited amount of soil quickly runs out of nutrients.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh spoke about which fertilizers are best to choose and how to apply them correctly.
Ammophos
Ammophos contains a large amount of potassium and phosphorus, so it is excellent for fertilizing plants. The solution is prepared at the rate of 2 tablespoons per 10 liters of water.
Nitroammophoska
Nitroammophos also contains nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in equal proportions, as well as a small amount of sulfur, which strengthens the immunity of plants. When preparing the solution, use the recommendations set out above.
Potassium monophosphate
Monopotassium phosphate is an excellent fertilizer for plants during the flowering period. To prepare a solution for 10 liters of water, you need to take 1 teaspoon of fertilizer.
Calcium nitrate
Calcium nitrate is used at the beginning of the growing season after the dormant period. It stimulates active plant growth. To prepare the solution, take 1 gram of the substance per 1 liter of water.
Wood ash
In addition to its main function of fertilizing the soil, ash also serves to prevent various plant diseases. To feed plants, you can use an ash solution, which is prepared at the rate of 1 tablespoon of ash per 1 liter of hot water. The solution must be infused for 7-10 days, after which it can be used to feed plants every 1.5 weeks.
