Folk fertilizers are generally not so useless, but they are not always used correctly.
It is important to consider the chemical composition and reactions that may occur in the soil when these compounds are added to pots with indoor plants. And you also need to know what your flowers like.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told which folk fertilizer is harmful to indoor plants.
We are talking about coffee grounds. It is impossible to say that the additive is harmful to all plants.
This is a really cheap and good fertilizer.
The grounds can be used as mulch or when it is necessary to make the soil looser.
The fertilizer is definitely not suitable for geraniums, tradescantia and other crops that grow in alkaline soil.
Another mistake is adding raw coffee. Due to dampness, fungus and mold can develop in the pot.
Coffee ground fertilizers can also harbor flower flies.
