All you need is water and garlic.

How to proceed

For 250 milliliters of warm water, you need to take 4 medium cloves of garlic, which you need to let sit for 24 hours.

Then the infusion needs to be filtered and a solution of succinic acid prepared separately.

For one glass of water you need to take two tablets of this supplement.

When ready, mix both components in one container, bring the volume to three liters by diluting with warm water, and add one tablespoon of three percent hydrogen peroxide.

Consumption: 150 ml per bush, once every two weeks.

The plant's leaves will stop turning yellow very soon, and the geranium will delight you with bright blooms.
