Feeding indoor plants with liquid fertilizers: what and how to fertilize
All plants, including indoor flowers, need additional fertilization. First of all, it helps them to maintain a healthy appearance and resist diseases and pests. In addition, it is worth considering the fact that flowers take food from the soil, the volume of which is limited by the volume of the pot and therefore the plants will quickly use up the supply of nutrients in them.
It is extremely important to feed the flowers on time by making various dressings. One of the most optimal fertilization options are liquid mineral preparations.
