Homemade plant food revives your wilting peace lily fast

The peace lily is one of the most popular potted flowers. However, its leaves can wilt and turn yellow despite proper care. You can prevent this by learning the recipe for homemade plant food.

The peace lily is a green plant from the Araceae family. It naturally occurs in South America, Asia, and on the western side of Oceania. It is valued for its unique appearance, ease of cultivation, and ability to purify the air of toxins, as NASA has proven.

The peace lily does not have large requirements and is relatively easy to cultivate. Just follow a few rules to keep it beautiful. The most important aspect is the right location. The peace lily thrives best in a well-lit place near a window.

The soil is also essential. After purchase, transplant the plant into humus-rich, slightly acidic soil mixed with sand or peat. Don’t forget about watering. How often should you do it? It depends on the time of year. Water the plant 2-3 times a week in the spring and summer. In winter, water it once every seven days.

Although the peace lily does not require specialized treatments, it can sometimes start to wither. Large and elastic leaves become soft, limp, and yellow, and flowers may not develop. In such cases, a homemade fertilizer can save the plant.

Many plant foods for peace lilies are available in stores, but homemade ones are just as effective. Use canned or jarred chickpeas if you notice the peace lily starting to wither inexplicably. Inside, a thick liquid can be used to prepare homemade food for green plants.

Preparation is straightforward. Drain the liquid and pour it into a tall container. Mix it with water in a 1:1 ratio, and then water the plant with the mixture. Repeat the procedure once a month, and you will quickly notice the difference.
