Sunflower seed husks as fertilizer

Sunflower seed shells are melon seed shells, which can be used as fertilizers. They can be used after being composted and fermented. They contain more nitrogen fertilizer and potassium fertilizer, which are very beneficial to the growth of plants and can also prevent soil compaction.

Sunflower seed shells can be used as flower fertilizer and are suitable for many flower plants, such as Christmas cactus, amaryllis, Clivia, jasmine, Kalanchoe, rose, gardenia, white palm, etc.

How to make fertilizer from sunflower seed husks

1. Put the sunflower seed shells and water into a container and let them ferment naturally. When the liquid in the container turns dark brown and the peel breaks into pieces when squeezed, it can be used as flower fertilizer.

2. Soak the sunflower seed shells in clean water for a while to remove the salt in them. Then wait until they are dried and then mix them directly into the flower soil.

1. Sunflower seed hull is a purely natural substance. If used as a fertilizer, the fertilizer effect is released slowly, but it cannot be used too much and needs to be diluted with water.

2. If the sunflower seed shells are not composted, they will become moldy and hairy when placed in flower pots. They will also attract various insects to feed on them, affecting the normal growth of the plants.
