A simple means for feeding cacti that can be prepared at home

Cacti also need to be fed. We started the article with these very words, because beginner florists often make mistakes in this matter. There is an opinion that cacti and succulents do not need anything but water. No, they also need nutrients. And top dressing can be easily prepared at home.

Top dressing recipe

Onion husks in the amount of 0.5 l are needed. Fill it with 2 liters of water and put it on fire. Bring to a boil. Boil for 5-6 minutes. Cool the onion broth and pour it through a sieve.

Onion water can be used for cacti twice a month. Feeding helps cacti to grow better and increase immunity.

Onion husks are rich in potassium and phosphorus.

Pay attention to an important point. Top dressing can be done for adapted plants. If you bought a new one and transplanted it into another pot, do not add fertilizers. First, the plant must develop a root system. Only after that, feeding can be carried out. Otherwise, instead of help, the plant receives stress.
