You can use this fertilizer as a soil drench or a compost booster.
Soil Drench Method:
-
Shake or stir the mixture before use.
-
Use one tablespoon per medium-sized potted plant.
-
Pour it slowly near the base of the plant, avoiding leaves and stems to prevent mold or rot.
-
For garden plants or trees, increase the amount proportionally, depending on size and age.
Apply this mixture once every 10–14 days during active growing seasons (spring and summer). In cooler months, reduce application to once a month.
Compost Booster:
You can also use this mixture to enrich your compost pile or bin. The sugar speeds up decomposition, while the minerals add more nutrient content to your final compost.

This fertilizer is ideal for most types of plants, including:
-
Indoor plants: spider plants, peace lilies, pothos, monsteras

Storage and Shelf Life
This fertilizer is best used fresh. However, if you have leftover liquid, store it in a sealed bottle in a cool, dark place (such as a refrigerator) for up to a week. Shake well before using.
If it develops an unpleasant odor, discard and prepare a new batch, as fermentation may have gone too far.
