You’ll need:
1 liter of room-temperature water (preferably non-chlorinated)
1 teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide (3%)
1 teaspoon of Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate)
A few drops of iodine (optional, for disease prevention)
This mix is easy to prepare and works for a variety of flowering houseplants, including geraniums, petunias, and indoor roses.
Why These Ingredients Work
Hydrogen Peroxide helps oxygenate the soil, improving root respiration and discouraging harmful bacteria or fungi. It’s especially useful for plants coming out of winter dormancy.
Epsom Salt supplies magnesium and sulfur—two key nutrients involved in chlorophyll production and flower formation. Magnesium is essential for energy transfer in plants and helps improve the intensity and duration of blooming.
Iodine (optional) can help boost a plant’s natural defenses, reducing the risk of fungal issues like root rot or powdery mildew.
This natural feeding approach offers gentle but noticeable results, helping plants recover faster from dormancy and prepare for vigorous blooming.
