Every gardener dreams of finding a fertilizer that would work for most of their houseplants. But not every beginner in this business knows that such a tool exists. It's about wood ash.
Details
It is suitable for neutral and alkaline soil and is used, for example, to fertilize fuchsia, geranium, and cyclamen.
You should not use ash only if nitrogen fertilizers have been used recently.
The main advantage of using wood ash is that it destroys harmful microorganisms in the soil, removes excess moisture from the pot, and also saturates plants with useful elements.
How to prepare fertilizer
Just 50 grams of ash should be poured with a liter of boiling water. The solution should be infused for three days so that all the necessary substances have time to dissolve in the water.
Next, you can apply a root irrigation product or spray it on the leaves.
In dry form, ash can be used after flowering or before winter, and in any other period, preference should be given to the liquid method of fertilizing.
At the same time, after watering with this infusion, the soil should be loosened and watered abundantly with clean water. This fertilizer can be applied 2-3 times a year.
