Geranium is one of the most common indoor plants, which can give the interior an attractive look and create a cozy atmosphere.
Proper nutrition plays a key role in the development and flowering of this beautiful flower.
Humus as a basis for nutrition
Humus is considered one of the most universal natural fertilizers for geraniums.
Organic matter obtained as a result of complete decomposition of plant residues provides the plant with necessary microelements and improves the soil structure. Gardeners recommend adding humus twice per season.
Chicken manure
Chicken manure is a concentrated natural fertilizer rich in nitrogen.
Before use, the droppings must be thoroughly diluted with water in a ratio of one part droppings to ten parts water. Such feeding promotes active growth of green mass and abundant flowering of geranium.
Onion peel infusion
Onion peel contains a large amount of potassium and other useful microelements. The infusion is prepared by soaking the peel in water for several days.
The resulting solution has antibacterial properties and helps improve the general condition of the plant.
Compost tea
Compost tea is a liquid organic fertilizer that is obtained by infusing mature compost in water.
This solution contains beneficial microorganisms that improve the soil structure and promote more efficient absorption of nutrients.
Ash as a potassium fertilizer
Wood ash is an excellent source of potassium and calcium. Gardeners recommend adding ash to the soil once a month, spreading it evenly over the surface of the soil. Ash also helps neutralize soil acidity.
Whey
Whey contains many beneficial bacteria and microelements. Diluted with water in a ratio of one to ten, it helps improve plant immunity and stimulates its growth. Whey feeding is especially useful during the period of active vegetation.
Banana peel
Banana peel is a rich source of potassium, magnesium and phosphorus. To prepare the fertilizer, the peel must be crushed and infused in water for several days.
The resulting solution improves flowering and promotes the formation of a strong root system.
Eggshell
Crushed eggshells are an excellent source of calcium. Gardeners recommend adding them to the soil or steeping them in water to create a nutrient solution.
Calcium helps strengthen cell walls and improve the overall condition of geranium.
Herbal infusion
Herbal infusion made from nettle, dandelion or other wild herbs is a universal natural fertilizer.
Infusing crushed herbs in water allows you to obtain a solution rich in microelements and beneficial bacteria.
