Flower fertilizer, as the name suggests, is fertilizer that provides nutrients to plants. It can be chemical fertilizer or natural fertilizer. Today we're talking about how to use those seemingly useless "scraps" to make natural flower fertilizer.

1. Fruit peels: Banana peels, apple peels, orange peels, etc., contain rich nutrients that can promote plant growth.
2. Tea leaves: Used tea leaves contain abundant nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other elements, which are "delicacies" for plants.
3. Coffee grounds: Coffee grounds contain certain amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, which also have good promoting effects on plant growth.
4. Bone scraps: Cooked meat bones contain rich phosphorus, calcium and other elements, which are very beneficial to plant growth.

3. Seal: Seal the container tightly and place it in a ventilated place for fermentation. Generally, it takes 2-3 months for fermentation. During this period, open the container regularly to release gas and prevent excessive pressure inside the container.
4. Use: After fermentation is complete, dilute the fertilizer and apply it to plants. Note that the dilution ratio should be appropriate to avoid burning the plants.
IV. Precautions
1. Do not use rotten "scraps": Rotten "scraps" produce harmful substances that are unfavorable to plant growth.
2. Do not use "scraps" with high pesticide residues: Pesticide residues can harm plants.
3. Do not overapply: Even natural fertilizer, overapplication can harm plants.
V. Benefits of making flower fertilizer
1. Eco-friendly: Using "scraps" to make fertilizer reduces waste while providing nutrition to plants, killing two birds with one stone.
