Yes, it’s true! A sprinkle of baking soda can do wonders, especially for flowering plants like geraniums, hydrangeas, and begonias. How?
How to use it:
Dissolve 1 tablespoon of baking soda in 1 liter of water, and water your flowering plants once every 2–3 weeks during blooming season.
Don’t throw away your banana peels! They’re rich in potassium and phosphorus, which are crucial for flower and fruit production.
How to use it:
Chop up banana peels and bury them a few inches around the base of your plants—or blend with water for a quick compost tea.
Used coffee grounds are rich in nitrogen and perfect for acid-loving plants like azaleas, roses, hydrangeas (for blue flowers), and blueberries.
How to use it:
Dry the grounds first, then sprinkle a small handful around your plant base every few weeks. Mix with soil or compost to prevent mold.
Eggshells are packed with calcium, which strengthens plant cell walls and prevents diseases like blossom-end rot in tomatoes.
How to use it:
Dry and crush eggshells into a powder, then mix into the soil or sprinkle directly around the plant base.
