Homemade Plant Food Recipe for Indoor and Outdoor Plants

Hello, my friend, hello again; today we come together to talk about Homemade Plant Food Recipe for Indoor and Outdoor Plants and hope the blog can help you.

Why buy pricey chemical-laden plant food when you can make your own for a fraction of the cost?

If you want lush healthy houseplants and garden growth but aren’t thrilled about paying for costly commercial foods with ingredients you can’t pronounce, you’re in luck! You can easily make your own plant food at home for a fraction of the price and—this is the best part—you’ll know exactly what goes into it.

All it takes to keep your favorite plant species robust and beautiful are three common ingredients that you’ll find at any supermarket for around $8 total, if you don’t already have them on hand. Because this recipe requires such small amounts and the ingredients last for months, your cost will literally be pennies per batch.

You may be surprised to learn that the following products possess the properties and nutrients plants need to thrive:

• Epsom salt contains magnesium and sulfur, both of which are beneficial for plant growth. Sulfur helps plants absorb nutrients from the soil while magnesium increases the plant’s ability to produce chlorophyll, which is responsible for maintaining healthy green foliage.
• Baking soda stimulates blooms in flowering plants and also reduces the risk of fungal disease. This is especially beneficial for potted houseplants, which are prone to mildew as a result of overwatering and limited air circulation.
• Household ammonia contains nitrogen, a component that promotes healthy root growth. For plant food, be sure to use plain ammonia, free of other ingredients such as scent or cleaning additives. Remember, ammonia is toxic to people and pets, so be sure to label and store your homemade plant food accordingly.
