Industrial and chemical fertilizers are not necessarily the best solution for maintaining beautiful, healthy and long-lasting plants. In reverse. Despite their proven growth-promoting effects, these artificial products are also known for their harmful and aggressive effects. However, with natural ingredients you can achieve equally satisfactory or even better results. To make flowers grow up to double outdoors, there is nothing better than a natural organic fertilizer that respects the treasures of Mother Nature. Plus, you probably already have everything you need at home!
- Rice, an inexhaustible source of benefits for plants
Starting with white rice. Many don’t know it, but it is an excellent natural fertilizer for plants. In fact, this globally consumed food is rich in starch, carbohydrates and vitamin B, making it an excellent source of nutrients for plants. But not only that: it also contains minerals such as nitrogen, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium, ideal substances to promote the growth and flowering of plants.
How is this natural fertilizer made from raw white rice prepared? The ideal is to try to obtain untreated beans, that is, without the addition of additives or preservatives. Here’s how to proceed:
- Pour 100 g of rice into a container and add 1 liter of water.
- Mix thoroughly and leave to soak for about 24 hours. This way the rice releases all its nutrients into the water, which is then used for the plants.
- After this time, the rice will have a tender consistency. Mix again and filter through a sieve. Even though we care about the liquid, don’t waste anything: you can use the grains as a natural organic fertilizer, applying them to the soil to create a nutritious substrate that will make your plants grow faster and healthier. Furthermore, the addition of rice grains will enhance the beneficial effect of the liquid fertilizer.
- The rice water is now ready for use: however, before using it, it is advisable to dilute it with water (1 cup of fertilizer per 10 liters of water). Once the operation is completed, it can be poured on the soil around the plants or on the leaves, depending on the needs of the individual plant.
Good to know : We recommend using this natural fertilizer based on white rice every fortnight to obtain vigorous plants and abundant blooms.
