As everyone who has at least one indoor flower knows, pests can appear in plants or rotting processes can develop.
How to deal with these troubles?
It turns out that the most ordinary... garbage can help in such situations! Well, what else can you call onion peels, which are usually sent to the waste container?
More precisely, it is not the peelings themselves that should be used to protect houseplants, but the decoction prepared from them.
Preparation of the product
Try not to throw away the husks removed from the bulbs for several months in order to accumulate a sufficient amount of the necessary raw material.
You will need about two-thirds of a liter jar of onion peels.
Pour boiling water over the peelings and close the lid, after which you can safely forget about it for a long 12 hours. The lid cannot be opened during this time.
It is most convenient to start the process of preparing the product in the evening so that everything is ready by the morning.
After the specified time, strain the liquid from the jar through cheesecloth and pour it into a larger container so that you can dilute it with water.
The ratio is one part onion broth and two parts water.
That's it: you can safely use the composition for watering plants at the roots or spraying.
As a result, you will be able to protect flowers from root rot and a variety of pests.
Efficiency of the method
The effectiveness of the method is due to the composition of onion peel, which contains phytoncides.
These are biologically active substances that prevent the growth and development of harmful microorganisms.
Therefore, a product based on onion peel serves as a preventative measure against fungal and bacterial diseases for indoor plants and seedlings.
