Fertilizer with
Organic matter, for Pot Flowers
Potassium
nitrate……………...... 100.0 parts
Ammonium phosphate……...….. 100.0 parts
Phosphoric acid……………...…. 2.5 parts
Phosphoric acid……………...…. 1,000 parts
Add not more than 10
parts to 1,000 parts water, and water alternately with this and with water
alone. For cetacean, crassulaceae and similar plants, which do not
assimilate organic matter directly, use distilled water instead of syrup.
Chlorotic plants are
painted with a dilute iron solution or iron is added to the soil, which
caused them to assume their natural green color. The iron is used in form of
ferric chloride or ferrous sulphate.
1:-
Sodium phosphate………….......... 4 ounces
Sodium nitrate…………………...… 4 ounces
Ammonium sulphate…………….... 2 ounces
Sugar……………………………..... 1 ounces
Use 2 teaspoonfuls
to a gallon of water.
2:-
Ammonium phosphate……............ 30 parts
Sodium nitrate……………….…..…. 25 parts
Potassium nitrate………………..…. 25 parts
Ammonium sulphate…………...….. 20 parts
Water………………………..........… 100,000 parts
One application of
this a week is enough for the slower growing plants, and 2 for the more
rapid growing her baceous ones.
3:-
Calcium phosphate…………......... 4 ounces
Potassium nitrate………………..… 1 ounce
Potassium phosphate………….…. 1 ounce
Magnesium sulphate……………... 1 ounce
Iron (ferric) phosphate…………..... 100 grains
4:-
Pot plants, especially flowering plants kept around the house should be
treated to an occasional dose of the following:-
Ammonium
chloride…………..….. 2 parts
Sodium phosphate……………..… 4 parts
Sodium nitrate………………..…... 3 parts
Water…………………………….... 80 parts
Mix and dissolve. To
use, add 25 drops to the quart of water, and use as in ordinary watering.
5:-
Sugar………………………........…. 1 part
Potassium nitrate……………..…... 2 parts
Ammonium sulphate………...….… 4 parts
6:-
Ferric phosphate………...........…… 1 parts
Magnesium sulphate……..……..…. 2 parts
Potassium phosphate…...…….…… 2 parts
Potassium nitrate………..…….…… 2 parts
Calcium acid phosphate…...…….… 8 parts
About a teaspoonful
of either of these mixtures is added to a gallon of water, and the plants
sprinkled with the liquid.
For hastening the
growth of flowers, the following fertilizer is recommended.
7:-
Potassium nitrate………................
30 parts
Potassium phosphate…………....... 25
parts
Ammonium sulphate…………......... 10
parts
Ammonium nitrate……….....…..…..
35 parts
The following five
are especially recommended for indoor use:
8:-
Sodium chloride……...........…….... 10 parts
Potassium nitrate…………….......... 5 parts
Magnesium sulphate……….…....… 5 parts
Magnesia……………………….....… 1 part
Sodium phosphate…………….....… 2 parts
Mixed and bottled.
Dissolve a teaspoonful daily in a quart of water and water the plants with
the solution.
9:-
Ammonium nitrate……...........….… 40 parts
Potassium nitrate………….…..…… 90 parts
Ammonium phosphate……..…….... 50 parts
Two grams is
sufficient for a mediumsized flower pot.
10:-
Ammonium sulphate…….............… 10 parts
Sodium chloride……….…….......…. 10 parts
Potassium nitrate………….…...…… 5 parts
Magnesium sulphate…………....….. 5 parts
Magnesium carbonate……….…...… 1 parts
Sodium phosphate……………...….. 20 parts
One teaspoonful to 1
quart of water.
11:-
Ammonium nitrate……............…. 40 parts
Ammonium phosphate…..……….. 20
parts
Potassium nitrate……………....... 0.25 parts
Ammonium chloride…………..….. 5 parts
Calcium sulphate………………..… 6 parts
Ferrous sulphate………………….. 4 parts
Dissolve 2 parts in
1,000 of water, and water the plants with the solution.
12:-
Potassium nitrate……...........…….. 20 parts
Potassium phosphate…………....… 25 parts
Ammonium sulphate………….....… 10 parts
Ammonium nitrate…………….....… 35 parts
This mixture produces luxuriant foliage. If blooms are desired, dispense
with the ammonium nitrate.
