There are few things in the world that you can look at without stopping, and the lush, green crown of a ficus tree is perhaps one of them.
True, for good growth and development this plant needs appropriate care, part of which is nutritional supplements.
Below you will find 3 effective fertilizer options for ficus.
Sugar water
To prepare a solution that can “saturate” the ficus, you will need 40 g of sugar and 1 liter of water. When the white crystals melt, water the flower with the sweet liquid.
The glucose that the ficus receives will stimulate the growth of new leaves and shoots.
Important: do not overdo it with sugar water to avoid over-moistening the soil in the ficus pot and turning it into a bait for insects.
Yeast feeding
This top dressing is prepared from 15 g of yeast and 1 liter of water. After the two key ingredients are mixed, leave the liquid for 5 hours and then dilute with water in a ratio of 1 to 5.
Yeast contains B vitamins. They strengthen the plant's roots and generally help it stay healthy.
Green Weed Infusion
As the name suggests, the basis of the fertilizer is weeds: nettle, dandelion, etc., the main thing is that they are seedless.
The green raw material must be filled with water and allowed to ferment for a week.
The prepared fertilizer is used in a diluted form (ratio 1 to 10) to saturate the flower with organic acids and microelements.
Such “additives” strengthen the ficus’s immunity and give it an incentive to grow.
