The fern is still one of the most popular species. For many people, it is a symbol of the Polish People’s Republic, which can still be found in many Polish homes. The fern is easy to care for and always looks beautiful. It decorates rooms regardless of the season. To make the fern lush green and grow properly, it is worth using a home-made fertilizer. In the case of ferns, powdered milk nutrient will work great. It is a rich source of many valuable vitamins and nutrients. Powdered milk contains protein and sugars, which provide food for soil microorganisms. Powdered milk will nourish pale leaves and improve their condition. Additionally, it will strengthen and stimulate the plant to grow better.
How to use powdered milk nutrient for watering ferns?
Mix powdered milk with water traditionally and dilute the prepared solution in 1 liter of water. It is estimated that the milk content in water should not exceed 100 ml of milk per 1 liter of water. Water the ferns abundantly with this mixture once every two weeks. Too much milk in the water may have an adverse effect on plants. Milk fat can affect water and air circulation in the ground. You can water more than just ferns with powdered milk nutrient. It is also great for sansevieria, aloe and ficus.
How to care for a fern in spring?
Spring fern care is not just about pruning and transplanting. It is also worth paying attention to fertilization, which will support their growth after winter. Use a fertilizer rich in potassium and phosphorus, intended for green plants, but remember to use it in smaller doses than recommended, as ferns are sensitive to over-fertilization. Regularly misting the leaves, especially in dry rooms, will also contribute to their healthy appearance.
When it comes to location, ferns feel best in places with diffused light, away from direct sunlight. Avoid placing them in drafty places and near heat sources such as radiators, which can dry out the air and lead to browning of the leaf tips. Remember that too much sun can cause the leaves to turn yellow and burn, while too little light weakens the plant and makes it less lush.
