If we see that our plants begin to weaken, change color and look different , it is time to act. Many times, over time, plants absorb all the nutrients from the soil.

When this happens, we must look for a solution as soon as possible since it will significantly affect the growth of our plants.

Since this is something that has surely happened to all of us at some point, we bring you this natural solution, a revitalizing homemade fertilizer based on coffee remains and rice water.

A natural fertilizer that will provide large amounts of nutrients, so that your plants grow again and look beautiful.

How to make homemade plant fertilizer

This homemade plant fertilizer is very simple to prepare, when using it we will quickly see the positive effect it will have on our plants.

Just by mixing the coffee remains and a little rice water, we can make the plants live vigorously again. We will do it as follows:

ingredients

-Coffee (we will use coffee grounds)
-White rice
-1 and a half liters of water
-Plastic bottles

Procedure to make homemade fertilizer

1- We put 1 liter of water in a container, add 3 handfuls of white rice and let it rest for about 2 hours. We will see that the water will gradually change color, since the rice will release the starch.

2- Now in a bottle, we are going to place the remaining half liter of water next to the coffee. We must let it rest for about 2 hours.

3- Now that the resting time has passed, we begin to strain the rice and save the liquid, which is what interests us. We will mix that liquid with the coffee that we already had ready in the bottle.

4- This fertilizer will now be ready to be used. If we have leftover fertilizer, it is best to store it in the refrigerator, tightly covered.

When using this liquid to fertilize our plants, we will do so directly by pouring it onto the soil. However, it is recommended not to wet the leaves of the plants to avoid possible sunburn.

What’s more, we will recommend that you water early in the morning or in the evening, since this is the best time to avoid burns on the stems. Many times, we do not realize it and this is one reason why spots begin to appear.

Contribution of rice water to your plants

Obviously we already know that rice releases starch when it comes into contact with water, but perhaps we are unaware of the great contribution it gives to our plants.

We could say that rice water is a magical liquid that will bring them back to life. The amount of nutrients and vitamins it provides will give it the energy necessary to grow and develop.

Therefore, if we see our plants a little drooping, do not hesitate to give them this rice water. The results are immediate!

Contribution of coffee to your plants

Coffee, like rice water, will help your plants become stronger from the roots, giving them the necessary nutrients to grow healthy and strong.

Coffee remains enrich the soil with different nutrients, including nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium. This stimulates the development of small harmless organisms for your plants, which will enrich the soil, greatly benefiting the roots which will absorb it.

Don’t hesitate to try this excellent revitalizing homemade fertilizer, your plants will thank you!
