What to use instead of nutrient solution at home? How to make your own nutrient solution

Many people often use nutrient solution when growing green plants at home. The nutrient solution people usually use is mostly ready-made products purchased in the flower market, but some people are afraid of trouble and want to find something at home to replace the nutrient solution. So what can be used to replace the nutrient solution at home? Next, I will take you to understand this knowledge, and also let you know how to make your own nutrient solution.

What can I use at home to replace nutrient solution?

At home, you can use rice water instead of nutrient solution. Rice water is mostly used to wash rice or apples, and the remaining water will contain rich trace element potassium. People use rice water instead of nutrient solution to water plants, which will allow the plants to absorb rich trace element potassium and make the leaves of the plants greener. However, when you use rice water instead of nutrient solution, you must ferment and dilute the rice water before using it. Only in this way can it have a similar effect to that of nutrient solution.

How to make your own nutrient solution

1. Use rice water as nutrient solution

Rice water can be used to make nutrient solution. When making nutrient solution with rice water, you need to put the rice water into a sealable container, and then place it in a warm environment to ferment. After it is completely fermented, take it out and add two cups of water to dilute it. At this time, you can get the prepared nutrient solution, which can be directly used to water the plants at home.

2. Use fruit peel and eggshell to make nutrient solution

Common fruit peels, egg shells, and animal bones in the home can be used to make nutrient solution. When making it, you can put the prepared fruit peels, frozen bones, rotten vegetable leaves, egg shells, etc. directly into a pot, add appropriate amount of water and boil them. After boiling, weigh it a little and take out the clear liquid on top. This is the cured nutrient solution. Such nutrient solution can also provide plants with rich nutrition by watering them.

3. Soybean nutrient solution

Soybeans can also be used to make nutrient solution. When using soybeans to make nutrient solution, you need to put the soybeans into a sealable bottle, add 2/3 of the bottle volume of water, cover the bottle cap, and expose it to the sun. The soybeans inside will ferment in about 20 days. After opening the bottle cap, pour out the liquid inside, add appropriate amount of water to dilute it, and you can get soybean water nutrient solution.

The above introduces what to use instead of nutrient solution at home, and also lets everyone learn how to make their own nutrient solution. If you don’t want to buy nutrient solution when growing flowers and plants, you can make it yourself. These homemade nutrient solutions are no worse than finished nutrient solutions.
