Recipes for homemade fertilizers for your houseplants
Houseplants can add so much to a room and to a home. Sometimes keeping them alive takes a lot of time. But they are so worth it! This article will give you two recipes to make homemade fertilizers for your houseplants.
Your flowering houseplants will thrive with this fertilizer.
Ingredients:
2 cups cottonseed meal
2 cups bonemeal
2 cups wood ashes
Bucket or bowl for mixing
You will need to mix these three ingredients together in the bowl or bucket.
When you are ready to fertilize your plants, you will want to use an old fork and scratch the surface of the soil in your pot. Sprinkle the fertilizer around the plant and gently work it into the soil with the fork.
You will want to use 1 teaspoon per 6-inch pot. You will want to fertilize your plants every 6 to 8 weeks.
Keep all unused fertilizer in a container with a lid. Make sure to label it.
This next recipe is for a Vinegar Tonic Tea. If you have hard water, then the alkaline levels might not be giving your plants the nutrients they need. A little vinegar tea will do the trick.
Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar (5% acidity)
1 Gallon water
Pour the vinegar into the water and mix. It is safe to use this Vinegar Tonic Tea every time you water your plants.
