Love your home plants organically

Although it looks like  spring will never come here (weather is awful this year), at least days are longer and it is time to check my plants, see what need to be done – soil change, transplante, fertilize, cleaning leaves. I admit, during the winter, just water them and leave them to rest, trying to keep them alive. But now, whether you have just one plant or house full of green friends, you need to take care of them. Tipically we are used to buy fertilizer or other products but there are organic means we already have in our homes that can be used to cultivate plants (with no need to make compost which could be difficult if you live in an appartment). This is particularly important for  my  own small  'herb and spice' garden  I want to grow organically.

So here is what I found useful.

Tips and tricks how to cultivate home plants organically

Apples are excellent for plants, particularly flowers – put apple pieces in the  soil of the plant. It is fertilizer that will improve flowering. 

Banana skin is also very good fertilizer – chop it and put it on the soil.

 Coffee, flat beer,  black tea, milk  dilute and add to the water while watering plants – they all  contain major nutrient plants need: nitrogen, phosphorus and pottasium.
For coffee eg. I usually make mixure of 1/4 coffee and 3/4 water - it looks like more as a tea, than coffee (as on the photo on the left).

Don't waste egg shells – they are excellent for plants- crush the shell and put int he soil.
