Certainly it is possible to go to the store and for a relatively large amount to buy fertilizer to ensure rich flowering of plants in both boxes and in the garden. Everyone knows that, even the beginning gardener. But how to deal with only natural ingredients? We bring you an answer…
The simple trick to achieve the support of plants and stimulating their flowers flood is based on the use of ordinary red beet. We know that it is beneficial for the human body mainly due to the content of vitamins B, vitamin C and folic acid. But we also find a lot of minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, iron and more. Those of us who have ever dealt with the processes that are happening in plants and can estimate which elements they need to do so are certainly clear. What helps us, people will also help our green wards.

Potassium for rich flowering
Let’s summarize the reasons why beetroot is the ideal fertilizer that will help the plants flourish much more intensely than before. These are the mentioned minerals, especially potassium, which supports flowering itself, phosphorus to strengthen the root system, which can then better absorb nutrients from the soil and supply the plant with the necessary “feed”, and undoubtedly also iron, which participates in the color of the leaves and thus also in the photosynthesis. In addition, red beets also have a supply of antioxidants that protect plants from harmful substances.
Cook beets, flowers will be happy
Now we know what miracle the beet for the flower garden is. But how best to use it to make the most of its possibilities? It will not be so complicated – it will actually be enough to cook in water (fresh, not pickled) in the water. You will get two benefits from one pot. While you can safely serve the family to the family, pour the water with leached minerals into a watering container and once it gets cold, you can go fertilize. But it is important that you cook the beets in clean water without salt and vinegar.
There are other options
If you do not want to cook beets, you can either peel or even the sliced with the tab, soak in the water for a few days and let it ferment. Even this procedure is not complicated and within a week you will have another dose of even stronger fertilizer. But what to do in winter, when we don’t get to fertilize flowering plants? You don’t have to hang your head, nor is it any big misfortune. Dry the peels or beet pieces (you can let them dry naturally or help them a little in the oven).
Natural powder fertilizer
Quite dry beet will then be enough to flush on a powder that – when the time comes – pour on a flower bed or into boxes. The effect will always be the same – in a few weeks you will not even know your plants in the flood of flowers.
For a long joy of plants
In addition to the support of flowering itself, red beetroot fertilizer can supply the plants everything needed for strong and healthy growth. So if it is perennials, you can also rely on such queens of your garden much better hibernating and you will be able to enjoy them in the coming years. After all, the garden is interested in taking care of the garden.
