Sometimes our plants do not seem happy, we would like them to be healthy, leafy and robust and instead their color becomes opaque, their leaves lose strength or turn yellow or stop flowering.

Plants have their own way of communicating with the world around them, it’s up to us to get the message and respond appropriately.

Plant Language

Obviously, plant language refers to communication between plants through chemical and physical signals. This is because plants can sense and respond to environmental cues, such as light, sound, and chemicals, and interact with each other for purposes such as defense and reproduction.

In fact, there is no scientific evidence that plants have a human-like form of language, with grammatical and syntactic rules structured for complex communication.

If we want to see them grow healthy, lush, and plump, we need to understand the needs of plants. This means that there are several factors to consider, such as the plant species, climate, soil, watering, light, and temperature. In general, just follow a few general suggestions to understand the needs of our plants.

In general, plants need enough water, nutrients, light, and space to grow. Each plant species has specific needs, so it is important to educate yourself about the needs of your plant to ensure its health and growth.

How to Have Healthy, Bushy, Stubby Plants

A simple, organic, and natural way to saturate the soil for seedlings and provide beneficial nutrients is to use eggshells that are high in calcium.

This way you will have healthy, bushy and stubby seedlings. It is a natural method for our plants to take up calcium.

Eggshells are mainly rich in calcium, which makes the plant stronger and more resistant to negative environmental factors and parasitic diseases.

In fact, calcium is necessary for the normal development of the root system. With a calcium deficiency, metabolism deteriorates. The development of the root system stops, as a result the plants begin to receive less nutrients until they become sick and die.

In addition to calcium, eggshells contain potassium, phosphorus, and other micro and macro elements that positively influence the development of young plants.

Dressing the Earth with Eggshells

To use eggshell for plants, the shell must first be washed thoroughly, and after washing, it must be dried very well and then crushed and reduced to powder.

Once we have ground and reduced the eggshells to powder, with this powder we prepare the soil for the cultivation of seedlings.

In fact, it is possible to add a tablespoon per liter of soil and after which this solution will begin to act after a very short time, the microorganisms will help to accelerate and improve the dressing of the soil.

Some Trichoderma tablets will also protect plants from the notorious “pata negra,” one of the dangerous diseases that cause the death of young seedlings.

However, we can make a more effective calcium supplement in the form of a crushed eggshell solution and 150 ml of 9% table vinegar.

For this, two tablespoons of shells in a jar will be enough, therefore, where to put the vinegar that will have to ferment for a week.

Subsequently, the solution is filtered and a tablespoon of this infusion is introduced into a liter of stabilized water, with which to water the seedlings at the root on the moist soil, every three weeks will be enough.
