News India Live, Digital Desk: Healthy Plant Tips : If your beautiful Jade Plant (which some people also call Lakshmi Lotus or Crassula) is losing its luster and its leaves are looking wilted or yellow, don’t worry! A simple thing present in your kitchen, coffee powder, can make it green and healthy again. And its cost? Only 2 rupees!
Jet Plant is a lush plant that does not require much care, but sometimes it may suffer from nutritional deficiency, making it look lifeless. Here coffee powder works as a magical solution.
How will coffee powder do wonders?
Coffee powder is rich in nutrients like nitrogen, potassium and magnesium, which are very important for the growth of plants. It increases the acidity of the soil, which is liked by the jet plant, and also increases the fertility of the soil.
Adopt this easy method (for just Rs 2):
- Required Ingredients: All you need is about 1-2 teaspoons of coffee powder (used or fresh) and 1 liter of water.
- Prepare the solution: Mix 1-2 spoons of coffee powder well in one liter of water. Make sure the powder dissolves completely.
- Add to plant: Now slowly pour this coffee water into the soil of your jet plant. You should repeat this once every 15-20 days.
- Foliar Spray (optional): You should not put the coffee powder directly on the leaves, but you can put the coffee solution in a spray bottle and sprinkle it lightly on the leaves, which will make the leaves look shiny and will also protect you from insects to some extent.
Some other things that will keep your jade plant healthy:
- Sunlight: Jet plant likes good sunlight. Keep it in a place where it gets direct or bright light for at least 4-6 hours a day.
- Water: It does not require much water. Water only when the soil becomes dry. Excessive watering can cause the roots to rot.
- Drained Soil: Use soil with good drainage in the pot so that water does not accumulate.
- Removing unnecessary leaves: Keep removing dry or yellow leaves from time to time. With this, the plant’s energy will be used for the growth of new leaves.
With these tips and Rs 2 worth of coffee powder, you can make your jade plant green and shiny again. Believe me, when you see his changed face, your happiness will know no bounds.
