Every gardening enthusiast has been there at least once: plants that are stagnant, that do not grow and do not bloom. Why does this happen? There can be at least 3 reasons: problems with exposure to sunlight, lack of water and poor fertilization. Especially in the latter case, there are perfect natural remedies to make our plants recover by making the flowers bloom with just one application. Let’s find out how.


Why the plant does not produce flowers: incorrect lighting
A first reason why our plant may not produce flowers is that we could make mistakes in exposure to sunlight. Depending on its characteristics and the country it comes from, a plant could live better in conditions of strong or poor light. In particular, when we talk about exposing plants to sunlight, we are referring to two types of lighting, direct and indirect.

As you can imagine, a direct light situation is created when the plant is directly exposed to the sun, which illuminates its leaves. On the contrary, a plant exposed to indirect light is placed in a bright environment, but not directly under the sunlight. The ideal, in this case, is to place our plant 2-3 meters away from windows.

Understanding whether the plant we are trying to care for needs to be exposed to direct or indirect light is essential to make it grow at its best, because otherwise it would dry out. But how do we understand the needs of our plant? There is a trick to doing so: generally, all plants that have dark leaves need indirect light. On the contrary, plants with light leaves love direct light.

How much water does your plant need
Another factor to consider is the amount of water the plant needs. Generally, to understand if our plant is dehydrated, there are some signs that we must pay attention to.

For example, the leaves appear patchy and with curled edges, as if they were burnt. Or, they are yellow and wrinkled. Again, a dehydrated plant could lose healthy leaves, its flowers could lose color in a short time and the shoots could fall.

To make it recover, we must immerse the pot containing our plant in warm water for at least 2 hours, so that the soil absorbs all the water. Then, we take out the pot and let it drain.


Natural fertilizer for beautiful flowers with just one application
Now we come to the fundamental issue, which many cannot manage: fertilization. The best way to take care of plants that often do not flower is to use natural fertilizers, especially organic ones.

These are preferable to chemical fertilizers because they do not affect the health of the environment or that of human beings. There are so many options to choose from as organic fertilizers, and sometimes just a drop is enough to bring life back to our plants.

The secret ingredient of the fertilizer we are talking about today, which will allow you to obtain lush and flowering plants, is beetroot, or red turnip. The latter is an ideal fertilizer for plants, because it is rich in calcium, phosphorus and potassium, substances very useful for our green friends, capable of making them grow healthy and strong.

To make our natural fertilizer, we choose a fresh and organic beetroot. After that, we wash it and put it in a blender. Let’s cover it with a liter of water and blend: in this way we will obtain a liquid with a beautiful fuchsia color.

Now we can pass the liquid through a sieve, so as to separate the liquid part from the solid part. In this way, we will be able to use the solid part by incorporating it into the soil substrate, and water the plants with the liquid fertilizer.

We can repeat the process using our organic fertilizer once every 30 days, but during the growth period we can also use it once every 2 weeks. In a short time, our plants will bloom again giving us beautiful flowers.
