It seems that the dracaena is about to give up: the leaves are turning yellow, growth has stopped, and there is no trace of the former juicy greenery.
Before you say goodbye to the plant, try three affordable feeding methods that even experienced gardeners rarely remember. Everything you need is already in the kitchen - all you have to do is mix it!
Meat Elixir for Roots
After defrosting the meat, there remains a liquid saturated with proteins and microelements. This water should not be poured out - it will become a powerful stimulant for the dracaena.
It is enough to water the plant with a dark liquid (after bringing it to room temperature) to notice new shoots in just a couple of weeks.
The main thing is not to overdo it: one application every 60 days is enough to avoid overloading the roots.
Onion armor against diseases
Onion peel contains phytoncides and potassium, which strengthen the plant’s immunity.
A handful of raw materials is poured with a liter of boiling water, boiled for 5 minutes, and then infused until cool.
The strained decoction is sprayed on the leaves once every two weeks. The dracaena will not only receive nutrition, but also protection from pests that are afraid of the onion aroma.
Sweet boost for greens
Sugar is not just a delicacy, but also a source of glucose, which activates metabolic processes.
Dissolve a tablespoon in a liter of water and water the soil or wipe the leaves with a damp sponge soaked in the solution. This method is especially useful in winter, when the plant suffers from a lack of light.
Frequency: no more than once a month to avoid mold growth.
These recipes do not require special skills or costs, but can give the dracaena a second life.
The main thing is to observe the plant's reaction and not mix all the fertilizers at once. Sometimes saving your green pet is easier than it seems!
