Pick up the fallen petals quickly! Add some ingredients and pour water
Does the fallen petals in the courtyard only turn into spring mud? Senior flower lovers have found through practice that these natural materials can be converted into powerful fertilizers through scientific treatment. This article will reveal how to transform the metabolic products of plants into growth kinetics, and achieve cyclic maintenance with special auxiliary materials, allowing your flowers to continue to burst with amazing vitality.
Complete Guide to Petal Composting
Material Selection and Collection Tips
Double-petal flowers such as chrysanthemums and roses can collect 20-30 grams of fresh fallen petals every day, and the best collection time is after the dew evaporates in the early morning. Pay attention to remove moldy or worm-eaten petals, and mixing petals from 3-4 plants with different blooming periods can enhance the diversity of fertilizer elements.
Fermentation Process Control
Use a double-layer sealed bag fermentation method: fill the inner layer with petals and inject rice washing water to 1/3 the height of the material, and cover the outer layer with a bag and punch holes for ventilation. Place it on the south-facing balcony in spring and summer, maintain an ambient temperature of 35°C, open the bag every 7 days to stir and supplement with 5ml of EM菌 liquid, and it can complete the deep humification process in 30 days.
Advanced Application Plan
After the petals are fully matured, the petal fertilizer can be diluted with water at a ratio of 1:15 as a top dressing, or mixed with vermiculite and coconut bran at a ratio of 1:3:1 to form a substrate. Experimental data show that applying this fertilizer increases the number of rose flowers by 40%, extends the blooming period by 5-7 days, and increases the chlorophyll content by 28%.
Illustrated Guide to the Use of Garlic for Flower Maintenance
Seedling Growth Regulator
Take 200g of purple-skinned garlic, juice it, dilute it with cold water at a ratio of 1:4, and add 5g of seaweed sugar to enhance stability. Dip a cotton swab in it and apply it to the dormant bud points, which can increase the germination rate of difficult-to-germinate varieties such as kaffir lilies by 60%.
Disease Control System
For powdery mildew: dilute the garlic extract (100g of minced garlic + 500ml of ethanol soaked for 48 hours) with water at a ratio of 1:50 and spray, alternating with 0.2% baking soda solution, 3 treatments can eliminate the病斑. When treating cuts, use the cross-section of a fresh garlic clove to press, forming a natural antibacterial film.
Through practical verification, this set of natural maintenance system can reduce the cost of home flower maintenance by 70%, while avoiding the residue of chemical agents. It is recommended to record plant growth data every month, adjust the formula ratio according to the characteristics of the variety, and gradually establish an individualized maintenance plan.
