You don&#8217;t have to use fertilizers from the store. All you need are the ingredients you have at home. In today&#8217;s article, we will show you how to make effective&nbsp;<strong>homemade fertilizer<\/strong>&nbsp;. This is a plant that has beautiful white flowers. However, watering and light alone are not enough for abundant flowering.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can make your own homemade fertilizer from leftovers&nbsp;<strong>from your kitchen<\/strong>&nbsp;that most people throw away. All you need is eggshells, coffee grounds, and banana peels. These natural ingredients will provide your plant with the nutrients it needs for healthy growth and abundant flowering.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Care of the shoveler<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Homemade fertilizer\u00a0<br><\/strong>Take the shells of 3-4 eggs, wash them and let them dry. Cut the peel of 1 banana into small pieces. Put everything in a blender and add 2 tablespoons of coffee grounds. Pour in 500 ml of water and blend. Let stand for 24 hours and strain through a sieve.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use<br><\/strong>The remaining liquid is used as fertilizer. The remains can be added to the compost. Fertilizer is used every 2-3 weeks during the growing season. During the winter, reduce the frequency of fertilization or do not fertilize at all. Apply to moist soil and directly to the roots.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Why these ingredients?\u00a0\u00a0<br><\/strong>Shells are a great source of calcium. This supports cell health and protects the plant from disease and rot. Coffee grounds are rich in nitrogen, which is important for leaf growth. They also provide the soil with magnesium, iron and potassium. Banana peels contain phosphorus, which develops the root system and is important for promoting flowering.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid direct sunlight.\u00a0<br><\/strong>This is a plant that needs diffused light. If the spathe is placed in direct sunlight, the leaves may turn yellow. If it has a lack of light, flowering will slow down.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Watering\u00a0<br><\/strong>The soil must be moist, but it is important to avoid overwatering. Water the plant only when the top layer of the substrate is dry. When the leaves start to wilt, this is a signal that it does not have enough water.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cleaning the Leaves<br><\/strong>Unfortunately, dust accumulates very easily on the leaves of this plant. This limits photosynthesis and leads to pest infestation. It is important to wipe the leaves of the spathe every 2-3 weeks with a damp cloth.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Share your tips on how to care for a spathe plant with your friends!
