Homemade recipes to replace growth stimulants

Fertilizers and preparations

Industrial plant stimulants often contain large amounts of chemicals and herbicides that are harmful to the body. Wanting a bountiful and environmentally friendly harvest, experienced gardeners try to replace them with safer alternatives. Homemade preparations made from readily available ingredients can produce excellent results without harming your health or your family budget.

What are growth stimulants used for?

There's a separate group of fertilizers used to enhance plant growth. Stimulants contain minerals and organic compounds that accelerate cell division at each stage of the growing season. Agronomists recommend using these products in the following situations:

seed treatment before planting to improve germination;
supporting seedlings before planting in the ground;
stimulation of green mass growth;
increasing the ovary for a larger harvest.

Homemade Stimulant Recipes

Many gardeners are abandoning store-bought options in favor of homemade recipes. The ingredients for homemade growth stimulants are free of chemical additives and are readily available to any beginning gardener. The most effective and simple formulations include:

Aloe juice and pulp. Cut a few leaves from an old plant, wash thoroughly, and refrigerate for 3-4 days to ripen. Grind the leaves, add 1 liter of water to 1 tablespoon of pulp, and let sit in a dark place for a week. Before watering the beds, add a small amount of the solution to a bucket of water and apply it to the roots. This solution is recommended for soaking seeds before planting.
Onion peels. In a deep bowl, mix 2-3 handfuls of onion peels, 1 tablespoon of ash, and 1 liter of hot water. Let the solution sit for several days, then dilute it 1:3 before watering. Suitable for seedlings.
Egg whites. Stir two egg whites into a glass of water and let them sit for 7 days to ferment. This mixture is recommended for watering seedlings after transplanting.

A nettle growth stimulant is suitable for treating mature plants. The foliage of this prickly weed contains beneficial phytoncides, vitamins, and amino acids, which accelerate the formation of abundant ovaries. To prepare, chop 7–8 large stems with leaves with a knife and soak in a bucket of warm water. Add 10–20 g of yeast and store in a dark place. After a week, the resulting infusion can be diluted and used to water cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and root vegetables.

Yeast growth stimulants

At home, it is easy to prepare high-quality fertilizer for seeds and adult plants based on yeast.The food product contains B vitamins, selenium, zinc, sodium, and nitrogen, essential for rapid growth and lush green foliage. The solution can be prepared in two ways:

To stimulate germination and soak the seeds, dissolve 20 g of yeast in water at 30–35°C. Soak a clean cloth in the resulting mixture and wrap the seeds in it. Leave in a warm place until the yeast swells.
To water plants before fruiting or after frost, dissolve 70–100 g of yeast in a bucket of water and add 2 tablespoons of honey or sugar. The concentrate is ready to use after 24 hours.
