Spruce up your houseplants: Homemade fertilizers for zamioculcas

Zamioculcas is an elegant and relatively easy-to-grow plant, so it's no wonder that so many people choose it to decorate their homes or apartments. However, it is worth using homemade fertilizer occasionally so that the plant flourishes even more.

Zamioculcas is an exceptionally elegant green plant, also known as the "plant for the forgetful." It does not require specialized and complicated care treatments, and since it belongs to the succulent family, it can store water in its leaves and rhizome. Therefore, people who regularly forget to water it should also be able to manage it.

Despite its resilience, it is worth dedicating a moment to zamioculcas from time to time. Its glossy leaves will be an excellent decoration for the room for years. For this purpose, homemade fertilizers are worth using.

To prepare the first homemade fertilizer, which will nourish the leaves and encourage new shoots, you will need dried pomegranate peel. It is important to remove all the seeds and dry the peel well in the sun or in the oven.

Next, grind it to a powder and put it in a jar. You will only need about three tablespoons of powder, a cup of water, and half a teaspoon of Epsom salt. Mix everything thoroughly and set it aside for about 24 hours.

Then, transfer the mixture to a spray bottle and, once a month, thoroughly spray the soil where you planted the zamioculcas. Thanks to the elements contained in the pomegranate peel, such as calcium, potassium, and phosphorus, the plant will quickly come back to life, and new shoots will appear rapidly.

Another plant rich in the mentioned nutrients, nettle, can be used to prepare a good fertilizer for zamioculcas. To brew an infusion, simply pour boiling water over fresh or dried nettles. Once cooled, water the plant and wait for it to produce new, beautiful leaves.
