Often, the leaves of hibiscus, jasmine, and marigold plants remain lush, but they don’t produce buds, or the flowers are very small. To address this, people resort to expensive fertilisers and chemical fertilisers, but the solution is hidden in your kitchen or a nearby shop for just 5 rupees. Gardening experts have explained how to use white paper for your plants.
Are you also troubled by the lack of flowers and falling buds on your plants? Even after using expensive fertilisers and chemicals, your garden remains desolate. If so, this information is useful. A gardening expert has revealed an old and inexpensive remedy that works like a lifesaver. A small piece of alum, costing just 5 rupees, can change the fate of plants.
Alum not only improves the soil’s pH level but also accelerates stunted growth. It’s a boon for plants like hibiscus, jasmine, and marigold. Using this magical solution correctly will fill your garden with so many flowers that counting the buds will be difficult. Learn how to make and use the solution.
Improvement of soil quality
Most flowering plants, such as hibiscus, roses, and jasmine, thrive best in slightly acidic soil. Over time, frequent watering and the use of chemical fertilisers can cause potting soil to become alkaline. When soil becomes alkaline, the plant stops absorbing nutrients, no matter how much fertiliser is applied. Alum instantly balances the soil’s pH level, making it fertile and allowing the plant to breathe again.
The correct way to prepare the solution
Preparing Mali’s recipe is very easy. You only need 10 grams of alum. Crush it into a fine powder, like salt. The fine grinding is necessary so that it dissolves easily in water. Now, take 5 liters of clean water and add the powder to it. Remember, the correct proportions are crucial. Too much alum can harm plants.
The most important thing in this recipe is to wait a bit. After dissolving the alum in water, let it sit for 10 minutes. During this time, the alum molecules chemically react with the water and completely condition it. There’s no need to add anything else to this solution.
For which plants is it a boon?
Actually, this solution is a panacea for all types of heavy flowering plants.
- Hibiscus- It eliminates the problem of bud shedding.
- Jasmine-Its fragrance and size of flowers increase.
- Marigold – Marigold plants produce countless branches and buds.
- Rose- It helps in the growth of new rose buds.
- Avoid applying it to indoor plants; it is mainly for outdoor flowering plants.
Precautions and Frequency of Use
Too much of a good thing can be harmful. You should only use alum water once a month. Always apply it in the evening or early morning when the sun is not shining. Lightly loosen the soil around the roots and apply this water. If you use the right amount at regular intervals, within 15-20 days, the entire plant will be laden with flowers, and the buds will be hard to count.
