Prepare a natural and organic fertilizer that will make your flowers bloom with just one application, here we explain how.
Every gardening enthusiast has experienced this at least once: stationary plants that do not grow or bloom . Why does this happen? There can be at least 3 reasons : problems with sun exposure , lack of water and poor fertilization . Especially in the latter case, there are perfect natural remedies to revitalize our plants by making flowers bloom with just one application . Let’s find out how.
Why the plant does not produce flowers: incorrect lighting
One of the first reasons why our plant may not produce flowers is that we can make mistakes in the exposure to sunlight . Depending on its characteristics and the country of origin, a plant can live better in conditions of intense or low light . Specifically, when we talk about the exposure of plants to sunlight we refer to two types of lighting , direct and indirect .
As you can imagine, a direct light situation is created when the plant is directly exposed to the sun, which illuminates its leaves . On the other hand, a plant exposed to indirect light is placed in a bright environment , but not directly under sunlight. The ideal, in this case, is to position our plant 2-3 meters away from the windows.
Understanding whether the plant we are trying to care for needs to be exposed to direct or indirect light is essential for it to grow as well as possible, because otherwise it would dry out . But how do we understand the needs of our plant? There is a trick to this: Generally, all plants that have dark leaves need indirect light . On the contrary, plants with light leaves love direct light .
How much water does your plant need?
Another factor to consider is the amount of water the plant needs. Generally, to know if our plant is dehydrated , there are some signs we should pay attention to.
For example, leaves may appear ragged and curled around the edges , as if they were burned . Or they may be yellow and wrinkled . In addition, a dehydrated plant may lose healthy leaves, its flowers may quickly lose color , and its buds may fall off .
To recover it, we must immerse the vase containing our plant in warm water for at least 2 hours, so that the soil absorbs all the water. Then, we take out the jar and let it drain .
Natural fertilizer for beautiful flowers with just one application
We now come to the fundamental question , which many do not know how to manage : fertilization . The best way to care for plants that often do not flower is to use natural fertilizers , especially organic ones .
The latter are preferable to chemical fertilizers because they do not affect the health of the environment or humans. There are many options to choose from when it comes to organic fertilizers, and sometimes just a drop is enough to bring our plants back to life.
The secret ingredient of the fertilizer we are talking about today, which will allow you to obtain leafy and flowering plants , is beetroot , or red turnip. The latter is an ideal fertilizer for plants , because it is rich in calcium, phosphorus and potassium , very useful substances for our green friends, capable of making them grow healthy and strong.
To make our natural compost , we choose fresh, organic beetroot . After that, wash it and put it in a blender . We cover it with a litre of water and blend it : this way we will obtain a liquid with a nice fuchsia colour.
Now we can pass the liquid through a strainer , to separate the liquid part from the solid part . In this way we can use the solid part by incorporating it into the soil substrate , and water the plants with the liquid fertilizer.
We can repeat the process using our organic fertilizer once every 30 days , but during the growth period we can also use it once every 2 weeks. In a short time our plants will bloom again giving us beautiful flowers.
