Types of fertilizers for indoor flowers

They are very easy to use for root and non-root top dressing. It is enough to carefully read the instructions and dilute the drug, strictly adhering to the dosage.
However, many flower growers who do not trust the producers of synthetic fertilizers continue to prepare nutritional compositions for home flowers on their own, using plant materials, food waste and affordable products.

Banana peelings contain potassium and phosphorus salts readily available for the plant root system, as well as valuable trace elements and nitrogen substances that stimulate flowering processes. And water extracts from bird shells are saturated with hydrogen sulfide and calcium, which are responsible for the immunity of seedlings and their ability to withstand various adverse factors.
