8 Natural Fertilizers To Grow Your Plants Like Magic

Having a beautiful home garden is the dream of many. While fertilisers laden with chemicals come with dubious results, it’s best to refer to natural fertilisers.

So, here is the list of 8 natural fertilizers that you can make at your home for the growth of your plants and garden. Let’s explore!

Rice water: The water left after rinsing or boiling water makes a great fertiliser for plants. Add this fertiliser at the base of your plant once a week for better results.

Banana peel water: Laden with potassium and other nutrients banana peel-infused water works best to grow your plant. Just cut and store its peels in a jar covered with water. After 2-3 days when nutrients are leached into the water, use them right away.

Eggshells: An excellent source of calcium, eggshells are good natural fertilisers. Just dry them, broke into small pieces, and make a powder to apply at the base of your plants.

Organic compost: Organic compost made up of kitchen waste, food waste, garden waste, leaves, shells, etc., can be the best food for your plants to grow well.

Fallen flowers or leaves: Collect all fallen and wilted leaves or flowers and add them to the base of your plants. When you water your plants the nutrients left in them will be soaked into your plants.

Neem oil and water: Neem oil which is a pesticide and fungicide can be a good fertiliser when added with water. Sprinkle Neem oil and water on your plant to let them grow uninterruptedly.

Aquarium water: Full of fish waste and seaweed, aquarium water is a good natural fertiliser containing phosphorous.

Strained tea leaves: Containing citric and tannic acid which help maintain pH levels in the soil, tea leaves make a great fertiliser. Collect tea leaves after straining them and mix them with garden soil for best results.
