Introduction:
Plants are more than just a way to enhance the beauty of your home—they purify the air, boost your mood, and connect you to nature. But what if you could give them an extra edge with a simple, homemade plant booster? This recipe will help your indoor greenery flourish, showing noticeable effects almost immediately. Easy to prepare with everyday ingredients, this plant tonic will ensure your leafy companions thrive.
Ingredients:
1 liter of water (preferably distilled or rainwater)
1 tablespoon of Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate)
1 tablespoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of white vinegar
2 teaspoons of brewed coffee or cooled tea (optional, for added nutrients)
A few drops of mild liquid dish soap (optional, for pest control)
Directions:
In a large container, combine the water, Epsom salt, and baking soda. Stir until completely dissolved.
Gradually add the vinegar while stirring gently. The solution may fizz slightly, which is normal.
Mix in the brewed coffee or tea for an extra nutrient boost, if desired.
Add a few drops of liquid dish soap, stirring well to combine.
Pour the mixture into a spray bottle or watering can.
Apply directly to the soil of your plants, ensuring even coverage. For leafy plants, lightly mist the leaves as well.
Repeat once every 2–3 weeks for best results.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Store the remaining mixture in a cool, dark place for up to two weeks. Shake well before each use.
Avoid overuse, as too much can overwhelm your plants.
