To simplify, Nitrogen will be used for leaf production and photosynthesis. It will allow to have leaves of a resplendent green, and a good foliar growth.
Phosphorus will contribute to the creation of buds and the resistance of the plant.
As for potassium, it will support flowering and fruiting (if it is vegetable or fruit trees), but also improve resistance against diseases.
Nitrogen is indicated for a beautiful foliage.
Utiliser un engrais synthétique est équivalent à une perfusion de vitamines.
The ideal fertilizer is an organic fertilizer for indoor plants .
Macro- and micronutrients are obtained naturally and not from chemicals synthesized in the laboratory.
Organic fertilizers are made from plant, animal or mineral components.
Liquid fertilizers also present a reduced risk of plant burn.
Liquid fertilizers have the advantage of being able to be better dosed, and above all, they can be diluted with irrigation water.
Their distribution is therefore more uniform for the roots.
Liquid fertilizers also present a reduced risk of plant burn.
Organic liquid houseplant fertilizers are mainly made from seaweed, fish emulsion, compost tea, worm tea, liquid bone meal, rock phosphate, herbal extracts and humic acids.
Granular fertilizers are sprinkled on the surface of the soil.
The cones are to be pushed into the ground to be more easily in contact with the roots of the plants.
As with liquid fertilizers, granular green plant fertilizers can be made from naturally occurring ingredients.
Most often, these will be dehydrated worm castings, bone meal, blood meal, sulphate of potash, limestone, rock phosphate or other ingredients of animal, mineral and vegetable origin.
Many, but not all, fertilizers also contain secondary macronutrients, such as calcium and magnesium, as well as micronutrients, such as iron, zinc, and boron.
You should make sure your houseplant fertilizer also contains a small amount of these nutrients, sometimes called trace minerals.
It is unfortunately very often happens that ranges of fertilizers are presented as specific, when they all have the same NPK ratio.
