A completely natural, simple and very effective method
Today I’d like to share a fertilizer method that was a real discovery for me. It’s a natural, yet extremely powerful biostimulant that’s perfect for indoor plants and seedlings.
After this kind of care, even the most capricious plants, such as the money tree and the Christmas cactus, bloom vigorously.
Why mushrooms are an effective base for a stimulant
We rarely consider how diverse the “fungal world” is. Some fungi are pathogenic (such as late blight), but there are also beneficial ones—they are known for their powerful bioactive properties.
Mushrooms contain natural:
- amino acids
- enzymes
- organic acids
- …macro- and microelements (calcium, iodine, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, zinc)
It is these substances that make the mushroom infusion a natural analogue of industrial stimulants such as epin and zircon .
How to make a humate infusion from mushrooms
Ingredients:
- any mushrooms: fresh, frozen or dried (I use porcini)
- water
Preparation:
- Place 2 mushrooms in a liter jar.
- Fill them with water at room temperature.
- Close the jar with a lid.
- Place in a warm, dark place for 2 weeks .
A sign of readiness is the appearance of a light layer of mold under the lid. This is normal: it means the fermentation process has proceeded correctly, and the infusion has reached the desired concentration of biologically active substances.
How to use a biostimulant
1. Straining and dilution
- Stir the infusion with a spoon.
- Strain through a fine sieve.
- Dilute the infusion with water to a volume of 3 liters .
2. Application
Use the infusion in two ways:
- root watering ;
- spraying the leaves (it is better to do this in the bathroom – it has a specific smell).
What is the result?
After regular use (once every 2-3 weeks):
- plants become noticeably more active;
- fungal diseases stop;
- a powerful increase in green mass appears;
- flower stalks are formed even in “capricious” crops;
- The Decembrist and money tree are literally covered in flowers.
This bioactive infusion is suitable not only for indoor plants, but also for garden crops in the summer.
This simple mushroom biostimulant is a powerful natural remedy that replaces expensive medications and is completely safe.
