According to Vidushi, the size of curry leaves and rose leaves in his garden is much larger than normal, for which he has given the credit to buttermilk. Now, if you also want to see lots of flowers and big, shiny leaves in your house plants, then learn how to transform your garden with the help of buttermilk.
The secret of increasing the size of leaves
Vidushi Malik explains that the good bacteria and micronutrients present in buttermilk increase the fertility of the soil. In his garden the width of curry leaves is up to 4.5 cm and the width of rose leaves is up to 5 cm. The calcium and phosphorus present in buttermilk not only make the leaves bigger but also keep them dark green and shiny.
correct dilution ratio
Never make the mistake of pouring buttermilk directly on the plants. Because it is quite acidic. Experts advise to dilute the buttermilk by mixing it with water about 5 times. For example, if you are taking one glass of buttermilk, mix it with 5 glasses of plain water. This mild solution is completely safe and effective for the roots of plants.
Method of planting in flowering plants
Buttermilk is a great booster for flowering plants like rose, hibiscus and aparajita. It balances the pH level of the soil, due to which plants produce more buds and the size of flowers also increases. If your rose plant is not producing flowers, then try using this solution once in 15 days.
Beneficial for curry leaves and vegetables
Adding buttermilk to vegetable plants like tomatoes, chillies and brinjals speeds up their growth. Especially curry leaves are considered like nectar for the plant. It enhances the fragrance of curry leaves and protects it from insects. Due to this, new branches emerge quickly in the plant and the vine or bush spreads rapidly.
Natural fungicide works
Buttermilk is not only fertilizer but also a natural fungicide. If white spots or fungus are visible on the leaves of your plants, spray a diluted solution of buttermilk in a spray bottle. It protects the leaves from infection and keeps them healthy. Since ancient times, farmers have been using sour buttermilk to protect their crops from diseases.
