The powerful homemade fungicide for plants: these 3 ingredients will be enough

By Lesia

It often  happens that indoor plants can have fungi and parasites on their leaves. Experts agree that each plant is different, as is the treatment they should receive. In general, you can rely on completely natural ingredients:  a fertilizer  with three commonly used ingredients that when combined become a perfect fungicide.

Fungicide for plants: the powerful natural ingredients

Fertilizers are now prepared solely from food scraps or directly from  fruit and vegetable peels.  In fact, natural ingredients have many properties, but also nutrients that can help the plant to recover.

When plants  have been affected by fungi,  three powerful natural ingredients come into play, which when combined, become a powerful fungicide for immediate use. The ingredients are the following:

  • 1 whole head of garlic with peel
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 glass of milk
  • 1 liter of water

The  properties of the three ingredients  are unique, in fact they contain a series of nutrients for the plant as well as having the power to counteract the attack of fungi or parasites in general. They form a patina that eliminates their presence until the plant is once again beautiful, healthy and full of colorful flowers.

How to prepare and use fungicide?

Preparing the  fungicidal substance  with natural ingredients is easy:

  • We take the garlic and crush it completely with the skin (125 grams per liter of water)
  • We take the pot with a liter of water and add the garlic.
  • Cover and let marinate for 24 hours.

Immediately after, add the  cinnamon powder  and mix gently. The mixture with the two ingredients in the water should boil for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Once the mixture has cooled, strain it completely into a glass container. At this point,  pour in the glass of milk  and mix the three ingredients together.

The substance is ready to be used on plants with particular fungi. To do this, simply put the liquid into a spray bottle, so that the mixture of the three ingredients goes  directly onto the leaves and stem.

Some nurserymen prefer to pour the mixture on the soil, watering well to nourish and give the plant a set of  natural ingredients  that help it to overcome the fungus. When to use it each time? Always, as soon as the plant is attacked by a fungus or bacteria.

For safety, always contact an expert nurseryman who will be able to confirm whether or not a particular plant needs direct intervention with other ingredients. It should be noted that garlic, cinnamon and milk are not  harmful to plants and are rich in properties  .
