A violet that bloomed once a year can produce buds every 2 months.
Don't believe me? Try taking an aspirin tablet, crushing it into powder and dissolving it in a liter of water.
The resulting mixture should be applied to the leaves of the plant by spraying. Salicylic acid awakens dormant buds.
The same recipe works with orchids. However, for orchids the dose is reduced to half a tablet, so as not to burn the delicate plant.
The second step is the "prison". Cover the plant with a black bag for 12 hours a day. After a week, the stress will force it to bloom to save itself. The method works for poinsettias and kalanchoes.
The third method is coffee doping. Once a month, water the soil with cold coffee (1 teaspoon per glass of water).
Caffeine stimulates photosynthesis, and the grounds loosen the soil.
After such care, the Benjamin ficus produces palm-sized leaves.
For cacti, add crushed eggshells to the coffee grounds - the calcium will strengthen the needles.
An additional secret that has long been used by advanced gardeners is banana peel. Dry it, grind it into powder and sprinkle it on the soil.
Potassium in the composition prolongs flowering and enhances the brightness of the petals.
For succulents, use water with 2 drops of iodine added - this prevents root rot.
