Biohumus for indoor plants
THERE ARE NO EQUALS BIOHUMUS FOR HOUSEHOLD PLANTS!
How vermicompost is better absorbed by plants: in liquid or powder form, granules? Is it suitable for foliar feeding?
Larisa PANINA, r. Saratov
There is an opinion, what is better to use vermicompost in the form of a liquid concentrate (hoods). However, my flowers fundamentally "disagree" with this..
5 PROVEN RECIPES FOR USING BIOHUMUS FOR INDOOR PLANTS
- For preparation of substrate with biohumus.
I mix ordinary biohumus, universal soil, sand (1:4:1) and add components depending on the type of plant.
- Vermicompost to accelerate root formation.
1 ч.л.. I mix additives in 100 ml of water and put the cutting in the solution for a day.
- For nutrition and mulching.
Change the topsoil in the pot (2 cm) on vermicompost and water. This bookmark is enough for 2-3 months.
- For feeding 5-6 st.l.. dissolve in 1 l of water, insist 24 o'clock. I feed the plants once 10-14 days, stirring the infusion.
- DIY vermicompost "tea"
I pour a glass of biohumus into 10 l boiled chilled water and add 3 st.l.. sugar with a slide.
Stirring, oxygenating water, which, in combination with sugar, is a favorable environment for the development of beneficial bacteria. In a day, "tea" is ready. I feed them flowers at the root either (and even more useful) per sheet. I only do it after the sun goes down, otherwise it will kill the bacteria. For feeding decorative leaf plants I don't add anything else to the "tea", and for flowering - potassium humate, lowering the rate in 3 times from the usual.
ON A NOTE
Biohumus contains fulvic and humic acids, which block disease-causing bacteria. Due to this, the plants get sick less..

I have been using sphagnum moss for many years. This natural material absorbs and retains moisture well, breathable, and also has antibacterial properties. Therefore, I use it when shipping plants, as drainage for indoor flowers, mulch for forcing bulbous, for storing tubers (eg, calla lilies).
For this valuable material I go to the forest in August. At home I wring out excess moisture from it. Then I spread it in a thin layer on a spunbond in partial shade and dry it, flipping regularly.
I store dried sphagnum in plastic bags (can also be in fabric bags) in a cool basement or in the refrigerator in the vegetable compartment. To use the moss, it is enough to wet and squeeze.
