plant nutrients?

Question

im growing sum plants and im not close to a plant store but whats the best plant nutrients i could get from average house hold

Answer 1

There are as many plant needs as there are plants. Plants need 17 elements for normal growth. Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are found in air and water. Nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorous, and sulfur are found in the soil. These six elements are used in relatively large amounts by the plant and are called macro nutrients. There are eight other elements that are used in much smaller amounts and are called micro-nutrients, or trace elements. The micro-nutrients, which are found in the soil, are iron, zinc, molybdenum, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, and chlorine. All 17 elements, both macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients, are essential for plant growth.

It depends on the type of plants that you are growing. An average chemical fertilizer is Miracle-Gro or for indoor house plants some people like Schultz's which is liquid and you just add a dropper full to the watering can, however many people are using organic amendments which are chemical-free, and Eco-friendly as well. Besides only making that choice (Chemical or natural), and since you must have the Internet, try searching Goggle or Ask.com for specific plant information.

The best option is to make a vermicompst tank. Using earth worms (African night crawlers), you can convert any organic material like kitchen waste, dried leaves, rotten vegetables etc. into good vermicompost . It is the best organic manure which contains not only plant nutrients but also hormones, vitamins etc. which are vital for plant growth.

Probably the best option for you would be to start a compost pile. Just begin by finding a sunny location to add things like grass clippings, leaf litter, garden vegetation, veggie scrapes from the kitchen. You can also add things like egg shells and coffee grounds, but never add meat or fat products to you pile. Mix it all together and water. Stir with a pitch fork or shovel every couple of weeks and let it cook. Soon you will have rich composted soil to add to your plants and they'll love ya for it.
Good Luck

Answer 4

Tea helps ferns. My mother used to break up eggshells and put them in the soil of her plants. I have watered mine with the liquid from cooking vegetables, occasionally. If you are able to compost your kitchen and garden waste, the resulting soil is great for potting plants. When you do get into town, pick up a bottle of liquid house plant fertilizer, you can probably get itat a grocery store.
