Toothpaste is usually used exclusively for oral hygiene, and nothing more.
At the same time, this product should be considered, among other things, as a reliable assistant in plant care.
We will hasten to tell you how you can use toothpaste to improve the condition of your “green pets”.
Over time, the soil in which potted plants are placed becomes depleted and also acidic.
Of course, these factors have a negative impact on the condition of plants.
To somehow correct the situation, the flowers can be replanted, but you can also take another approach, which involves using a toothpaste-based fertilizer.
To prepare it, you will need a third of a tube of paste and 1 liter of water.
Stir the paste into water until it dissolves completely and use the resulting mixture to water your plants.
It must be carried out at the root.
As a result, you will be able, firstly, to reduce the acidity of the soil, and secondly, to enrich it with fluorine and calcium – important microelements that are needed by frequently flowering plants.
However, you shouldn’t assume that such feeding will benefit any flower.
Do not use it when growing gardenias, azaleas and other plants that, on the contrary, are delighted with acidic soil.
