Feeding roses with yeast
Roses are very beautiful flowers. It is for their luxurious appearance that many summer residents and gardeners love them. In order for these spectacular plants on the site to always remain healthy and beautiful, they must be properly fertilized. In this article, we will learn all about feeding roses with yeast.
Benefit and harm
Many growers choose yeast as a top dressing for roses. Such components have many advantages. They are able to have a positive effect on beautiful flowers, making them healthier and more resistant to various diseases. Let's take a closer look at what exactly is the main benefit of yeast used as a top dressing.
- Roses are flowers that require elements such as potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium. In addition, the presence of iron, copper and aluminum is desirable in the applied fertilizers. All of these components are present in the content of common baker's yeast. This suggests that such a top dressing is able to fully saturate the plants with all the necessary substances.
- Nitrogen, which is also present in the yeast content, is able to accelerate the active growth of rose stems, and with it shoots and leaf blades.
- Phosphorus enables flower bushes to adapt to negative external factors and environmental conditions. Thanks to this, roses become stronger and gain excellent immunity.
- Thanks to iron and potassium, the necessary water-salt balance is successfully maintained. These ingredients are also aimed at strengthening the immunity of luxurious flowers.
- The microelements present in the composition contribute to the overall healing of the flower organism.
Yeast feeding allows flower bushes to awaken from wintering in the spring season. In addition, such a product can effectively support the plant during the first and second flowering period (June-August).
In addition, the yeast used as a top dressing has other significant advantages that attract many growers.
- Such feeding is quite inexpensive. You can buy yeast in almost every grocery store.
- Yeast is not toxic, it is completely safe for flower growers.
- The chemical composition of yeast is also attractive.
Considering all these advantages, you can feed roses with yeast so that they grow beautiful and healthy. But one should not forget that such fertilization can cause certain harm to flowers. Let's take a closer look at this issue.
- Yeast can lead to significant soil acidification. To neutralize this effect, it is advisable to use ash solutions together with yeast.
- Leaching of calcium and potassium can occur from the soil. In order to make up for the missing percentage of the required substances, one also has to resort to the introduction of ash.
- You need to very carefully feed the roses with yeast. Watering flowers is allowed only under the roots. If the yeast composition gets on the foliage, then it will wither, and then it will simply fall off.
- You should not feed roses with yeast during budding. Otherwise, large flowers will not be able to bloom. Instead, there will be many small ones.
- When using yeast, it is very important to adhere to clear terms for their introduction as a top dressing. If you suddenly want to feed the flowers in the autumn season, then this will ultimately contribute to the rapid growth of lateral shoots, which will not be able to get stronger before the beginning of winter and will freeze.
Before you feed your roses with yeast, it is very important to familiarize yourself with both the positive and negative effects of them. You should use such a top dressing as carefully and deliberately as possible so as not to harm the health of the planted flowers.
Fertilizer preparation with yeast
Making effective yeast fertilizers is easy. Every flower grower who grows roses will cope with this task without any problems. Consider a few popular recipes for self-preparation of yeast fertilizers.
With fresh
One of the most popular and effective recipes involves adding fresh yeast. The latter can be sold in briquettes. Such products look the same as processed cheese. To make a good feeding from fresh yeast, you need the following ingredients:
- 100 g fresh yeast;
- 1 liter of water at room temperature;
- hollow-ware;
- a pinch of granulated sugar or other products that contain sugar (honey, jam, jam).
All of the listed components will need to be sent to a free container. There they are mixed, and then they wait until the fermentation process begins. After that, the contents will need to be poured into a bucket with a volume of 5 liters. Water must be poured there to the very edges. The next step is to pour the resulting substance under the very root of the rose. Enough 1 liter for each bush.
With dry
It is extremely simple to prepare top dressing using dry yeast. The latter are often sold in small sachets. To make the specified top dressing, you will need to prepare the following ingredients:
- 10 g baker's yeast;
- 10 liters of water at room temperature;
- a container of sufficient depth;
- 2 tbsp. l. granulated sugar.
For cooking, you will need to thoroughly mix all the indicated ingredients, wait for the fermentation process to begin. Next, you will need to add an additional 10 liters of water. This is necessary so that the composition can disperse properly. The finished dressing will need to be carefully applied under the roots of the roses.
With herbal infusion
To make a good herbal yeast fertilizer, you need the following ingredients:
- weed grass;
- dishes of sufficient depth;
- water;
- humate concentrate or phytosporin;
- dry yeast - 200 g
Put more weeds in a free container. They must be filled with water, and then left in this form for 2-3 weeks. This is necessary to start the natural fermentation process. As soon as this process is completed, the grass will need to be pulled out of the dishes, and in return send there a concentrate of humate or phytosporin. While stirring all the ingredients, add 200 g of dry yeast. The resulting solution will need to be dissolved in 10 liters of water.
With sugar
Yeast in combination with sugar makes an excellent food for roses. Many florists use it. To prepare a suitable composition, you will need the following items:
- dry or wet yeast;
- a couple of teaspoons of granulated sugar or jam (honey is also suitable);
- dishes with 1 liter of plain water (the liquid should be at a neutral temperature - about 24 degrees is enough).
Feeding is prepared as follows.
- The yeast should be sent to a bowl or bucket filled with water. Then you will need to pour sugar there.
- You will need to wait until the ingredients begin to ferment.
- Next, 1 liter of suspension will need to be poured into a container with a larger volume. 5 liters is enough.
- The remaining volume must be filled up with water.
At this stage, the fertilizer can be considered ready. They will be able to process roses. It is advisable to spend 1 liter of fertilizer for 1 shrub.
With ash
Yeast is an excellent fertilizer for luxurious roses. However, the effectiveness of the use of such a component can be noticeably increased if combined with ash. It is ash that can help replenish calcium and potassium in soils. They are regularly washed out of the soil due to frequent watering.
If you combine both yeast and ash, the result is a high quality and very effective fertilizer. It is prepared in the same way as in the case of preparing fertilizers with dry and wet yeast.
The only difference lies in the fact that ash still needs to be added to the dish / container. She is allowed to lightly sprinkle the area near the root, and then pour it all over with a mixture of yeast.
