How to Make The Best Ever Flower Fertilizer at Home? (10x Flowering)

Making flower fertilizer at home is very easy, even a beginner can do this. So, in this Post, we will see how you can make the best-ever fertilizer for flowering plants. So, let’s begin.

What Flowering Plants Need in Their Fertilizer?

First of all, it’s important to know what exactly flowering plants need in their fertilizer. If we know what they actually need, then we can make the most ideal fertilizer — the fertilizer that will get you the best results.

Three plant-required nutrients are the most important ones: nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus. For flowering plants, potassium and phosphorus are most important, while nitrogen is required but less important.

Trace elements like calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, sulphur, etc., are also very important — they mainly support the smooth flowering of a plant.

Deficiency of any element puts stress on the plant, and hence the budding and flowering get affected.

If the pH of your fertilizer is slightly acidic, this enhances the absorption of nutrients by the roots. So overall, a nutrient-rich, slightly acidic fertilizer is our requirement for flowering plants.

With an ideal fertilizer, a plant faces no kind of nutritional deficiency, and this results in the fullest flowering of a plant.
Just remember, the season, soil, and pot size — all are equally important.

If you use an ideal fertilizer on your plant, it will grow buds and flowers throughout the growing season, with buds appearing bigger and flowers blooming fully and vibrantly.

If the plant is mature, then it will definitely produce as many flowers as possible. Due to the use of a good fertilizer, the plant also becomes immune to diseases, stays healthy, and fights stress on its own.

The soil media also gets a lot of benefits from the use of a good fertilizer. Over time, the soil becomes soft and fertile.
Overall, the use of a good fertilizer on flowering plants is most important to get the best flowering.

How to Make This Flower Fertilizer?

Now, let’s learn how we can make fertilizer for flowering plants at home. We will use a few organic ingredients; some of them are also added to buy.

The first and the most useful ingredient of our flower fertilizer is leaf compost. Leaf compost is full of micro elements, and it is absorbed by the plant very well. It’s also slightly acidic, which is our requirement.

It is absorbed by the roots very effectively. You can also make leaf compost right at your home by using dried leaves. A Detailed guide on this method is also added Here.

Potato Peels Dried – 1 Tbsp:

Another ingredient of our homemade flower fertilizer is potato peels. Potato peels are rich in potassium, which is the primary element required by a flowering plant.

Potassium drives the whole flowering stage of a plant, and potato peels are an organic and free source of potassium. You can just dry them in the sun and crush them into powder form.

Cow dung – 4 Tbsp:

Another thing you need to make fertilizer for flowering plants is cow dung fertilizer. Cow dung is used very widely because of its miraculous benefits. It’s high in nitrogen — that’s why we are using only a small amount.

Besides nitrogen, it contains all the essential plant nutrients. It’s also pH neutral, and it’s available everywhere.

You can either use cow dung compost or dried cow dung. But don’t use fresh cow dung — it’s very high in nitrogen and may burn your plants. You can also buy cow dung from Here.

Rock Phosphate \ Egg Shells – 1 Tbsp:

One key ingredient we need in our fertilizer is rock phosphate. It’s a rock with a lot of phosphorus in it; we only need a small amount. It’s very effective in strengthening the roots of flowering plants.

If you can’t get rock phosphate, then you can also add some eggshells. But try using rock phosphate — it’s also added Here to buy.
