diy fertilizer
Ingredients:
- 3 drops of castor oil
- 1/2 tablespoon hydrogen peroxide
- 1l of water
Preparation:
- We dilute all the ingredients together and then use the mixture obtained directly on the soil to fertilize. Our geraniums will immediately become more lush!
And to spread it?
Materials:
- Coal
- geranium cutting
- Glass to recycle
- rope thread
- universal floor
- perlite
- Antique jam jar
Preparation:
- Here is the trick for the free propagation of your geraniums! Start by taking a cutting and with the help of well-disinfected scissors, remove the leaves from the cutting, leaving only the last ones at the top.
- Now let’s prepare a container with crumbled activated charcoal and immerse the live part of the cut in it. This will help as a rooting hormone for the plant. Now let’s prepare the jar. Take an old jam jar and fill it halfway with water. Then we took a paper cup to recycle and punched a hole in the bottom.
- At this point we pass a thread of twine inside to tie it well and stop so that the longest part is outside the glass. Now we are going to fill it with a mixture of potting soil and perlite. Only at the end can we insert the cut into the glass and then the glass into the jar so that the thread touches the water.
- We wait a few weeks and our cutting will have taken root, only 20 days will be enough to plant it in its new pot!
