Green tea
Green tea is a natural fertilizer that keeps plants healthy and promotes their flowering. The nutrients present such as magnesium, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus enrich the soil.
Prepare a liquid fertilizer by soaking tea bags in water and using the infusion for irrigation.
Recycle used tea bags directly into the soil or use their contents as a soil mulch.
Sugar
When plants turn yellow in winter due to lack of light, sugar helps revive them. Sprinkle a little sugar on the potting soil and water as usual. A mixture of sugar and coffee grounds can also be useful.
Essential nutrients for houseplants
For houseplants to stay healthy and green, they not only need water and light, but also important nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium:
Phosphorus: Promotes root system growth and stimulates flowering or fruit formation.
Nitrogen: Supports the growth of leaves and buds. Yellow leaves or slow growth indicate a lack of nitrogen.
Potassium: Increases resistance to frost, diseases and pests. It also improves the absorption of nutrients and the circulation of juices.
Using these natural ingredients, you can revive wilted houseplants and promote their sustainable growth and flowering.
