In the world of indoor gardening, sometimes the simplest things turn out to be real treasures.

For example, the cloudy liquid left after defrosting meat is not waste at all, but a powerful stimulant for plants.

Experienced greenery lovers have long adopted this method, and here's why.

The dressing is prepared from the liquid that flows from the meat or liver during defrosting. It is enough to place the product in a colander over a container and wait until the moisture has completely collected.

The main nuance is that the water contains organic compounds that attract bacteria, so it cannot be used immediately.

To avoid an unpleasant smell, add a teaspoon of the Baikal preparation to the liquid, then close the lid tightly and leave to ferment in a warm place for 2-3 months.

The finished infusion must be boiled to destroy pathogenic microorganisms.

For watering, it is diluted: 1 teaspoon of fertilizer per liter of water.

This solution saturates the soil with nitrogen and microelements, stimulating leaf growth and bud formation.

The effect is especially striking in violets - their flowering becomes abundant, and the rosettes become dense and symmetrical.

This method does not require financial costs, but it does require patience.

But the result exceeds expectations: plants fed with meat water look as if they were grown in a professional greenhouse.

Try it - and your windowsill will turn into a mini-garden that will not leave even a skeptic indifferent.
