Using Organic Fertilizers

All fertilizers contains minerals that plants need in order to grow and thrive. The three important nutrients are:

Nitrogen – Promote green leaves growth

Potassium – Create a more colorful flowers and help strengthen the plant

Phosphorous – Help aid the growth of the plant and build strong roots

These minerals are what the plants needs in small quantities to grow. The amount of fertilizers you use can help or even damage the plants. For this reason, it is important to know how much and when to use fertilizers. This goes for organic and inorganic fertilizers. To get the best result for your plants, you should consult with the nursery or the place where you bought the plant from.

Beside the minerals that plants need to grow, it also need a good structured soil to grow in. A good soil will help retain water and oxygen for the roots of the plants. The roots are the key to the health of the plants and without a strong root system, the plants will eventually die. To ensure that the soil are well structured, make sure to add organic fertilizers.

Before adding organic fertilizers to the plants, add organic matters such as compost and compost manures first. These organic matters provide excellent food for earthworms and other creatures in the soil. All these creatures feed on the decaying materials which are broken down into compounds and nutrients, which are later absorbed by the plants roots.

Organic fertilizers is the best way to grow plants. Beside helping the plants grow naturally, it also help the environment by not introducing any dangerous chemicals to the soil. The next time you plant a plant, choose organic fertilizers.
