Boost your houseplants' health with this economical trick and homemade fertilizer
Horticulture doesn't come naturally to everyone. Not everyone has a "green thumb"; some indeed go to great lengths to keep their plants thriving. Autumn-winter often proves to be a challenging time for the plants since there's not only a drop in temperature but also a reduction in daylight. Sunlight is extremely vital for them, so let's explore a brilliant, economical technique that can easily supplement light to our plants.
Introduce this economical gadget to the plant pot
The method of providing additional light to plants at home is quite straightforward. All one needs is an aluminum foil piece and a popsicle stick.
To begin with, cut a large square from aluminum foil and lay it on the table, shiny side up. This is a critical step because it won't yield the desired result if done otherwise. Place the popsicle stick in the center of the foil. Then, while holding the stick, lift the top end and fold it towards you, covering the stick. Continue this folding process on the other sides too, until you achieve a shiny rectangle that resembles an ice lolly.
Insert the resulting foil gadget into the pot's soil on the side opposite to the window. In this manner, it'll reflect the sunlight entering through the window, illuminating the other parts of the plant.
Homemade fertilizer for plants
Do you water your indoor plants regularly but they still lack vibrancy? You might want to give homemade plant fertilizer a shot, which will cost you nothing. All you need is unsalted water drained from cooking pasta. It makes an excellent fertilizer for plants that are in immediate need of nourishment.
Just allow the pasta water to cool down and then water your potted plants twice a week. After a few rounds of this regimen, your plants will begin to flourish with new, lovely buds, and exhibit improved health.
