How to Make Homemade Plant Food

Try this DIY recipe: Once a month, you can water your houseplants with a mixture of: 1 tablespoon Epsom Salts, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. salt, ½ tsp. household ammonia, 1 gallon of water.

You can store the plant food solution in an empty gallon sized container and then pour as needed into your watering can.

One reader suggested giving houseplants your leftover cold coffee. This works particularly well for ivy plants.

Another method is to collect eggshells after baking and place them in a glass jar covered with water. Don’t put the lid on tight.
