In today's article, we will talk about an old and effective drug that helps indoor plants maintain optimal water balance, protects plant roots from rotting, and disinfects the soil.
Every plant growing in pots needs additional nutrition, because over time the plant sucks all the beneficial elements from the soil. And a deficiency of beneficial elements leads to depletion of the soil, which causes the plant to wither and may die.
There are many recipes for fertilizing indoor plants. You can also always find the right fertilizer in gardening stores. But it is important not only to feed your plants, but also to protect them from various diseases and pests. And hydrogen peroxide helps with this.
Everyone who has a summer cottage has heard more than once, and perhaps even used hydrogen peroxide for seedlings and plants. For indoor plants, watering with peroxide is also necessary. And the whole point is that the hydrogen peroxide solution is similar in composition to pure water. And as you know, melt water has a beneficial effect on plant development. But this is not the only advantage of hydrogen peroxide. It also disinfects the soil and saves roots from rotting and stimulates plant flowering.
2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide per liter of water is enough. Once or twice a month, you can add 1-2 drops of iodine to this solution.
You can use a peroxide solution to water your plants regularly. You can apply this solution to the roots of your plants or spray it on their leaves.
Those flowers that do not like frequent watering can be sprayed with a solution of hydrogen peroxide or watered through a tray. Flowers that respond well to watering can be watered directly under the root.
