3. The return of coffee grounds as fertilizer for the plant
In addition to its many uses for the body and the home, coffee grounds are also beneficial for maintaining houseplants. Their relative acidity and nutrient richness make them an essential tool for acidifying potting soil. However, it is important to use them sparingly, as large amounts of coffee grounds can promote weed growth.
To enjoy its benefits, add a small amount of coffee grounds to your soil and observe the results over the days. This will help prevent yellowing or burning of the leaves of your plants.
4. A remedy to treat iron deficiency from plants
Some plants can suffer from iron chlorosis which means a lack of iron and is characterized by yellowing of the leaves. Similarly, excess calcium, phosphorus or too wet soil can be factors that block the assimilation of iron.
Organic products to treat this deficiency are available in specialist stores. However, it is possible to overcome the blockage of iron assimilation using a simple trick which consists of draining the soil and covering it with plant mulch, namely pine needles or citrus peels.
In conclusion, houseplants need special care to maintain their vitality and therefore their color. It is important to take care of plants in the most natural way possible with these home remedies.
