Bay leaf is an excellent food source for indoor plants.
Placing bay leaves in flower pots not only helps disinfect the soil, but also protects plants from pests.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told how to use bay leaf in caring for indoor plants.
Bay leaves have a strong smell that repels insects. This is especially useful when plants are on open balconies or in the garden, where they are at greater risk of infestation.
Preparing a nutrient solution from bay leaves
To prepare a nutrient solution from bay leaf, you will need the following ingredients:
• 4 bay leaves;
• 1 liter of warm water (temperature 70 degrees).
Preparation:
Cut 4 bay leaves into small pieces.
Pour 1 liter of warm water over the bay leaf.
Let it sit for 3-4 hours.
After infusion, the solution is ready for use.
Application of nutrient solution to plants
A nutrient solution made from bay leaves can be used to feed indoor plants.
For root nutrition, it is enough to water the plant with the prepared solution, and for foliar nutrition, the solution must be applied to the leaves of the plant using a sprayer.
Repeat the procedure once a month to provide the plants with sufficient nutrients.
