Phytosporin for indoor plants: instructions for use

Chemicals used to fertilize soil can not only benefit plants, but also cause enormous harm to the environment, animals and people. The development of environmentally friendly soil cultivation technologies has led to the creation of new fertilizers, including Fitosporin, a microbiological preparation, the use of which has proven its effectiveness and allows you to completely eliminate the use of chemical plant care products.

The product under the general name is available in various variations, determined by its purpose. The entire group of drugs is united by the presence of the same active substance, but is distinguished by the presence of different biological additives.

Packaging "Fitosporin"

“Fitosporin” has been successfully used for indoor plants.

Description


Fitosporin M is a new generation drug, a so-called macrobiotic. The substance is effective against plant diseases caused by bacteria or fungi. The drug is universal, it can be used to treat:

  • indoor flowers;
  • cuttings preparing for planting;
  • fruit horticultural crops;
  • vegetables in beds and greenhouses.

The drug has the desired effect thanks to the bacteria Bacillus subtilis included in its composition. Fitosporin M is manufactured in Ufa and belongs to the group of biopesticides and fungicides. The product begins to act as soon as it reaches its destination.

Science has proven that the bacteria that make up Fitosporin M are harmless to humans and the environment. For example, if you spray the solution on fruits, berries or vegetables, you can eat them the same day without any health consequences. Let's say more - certain strains of the bacteria Bacillus subtilis are included in medications intended for the treatment of childhood intestinal infections. The bacterium Bacillus subtilis is a spore culture that can quickly spread throughout all the vessels of a flower.

However, Fitosporin M is not an absolute panacea: its effectiveness, depending on various circumstances, can range from 65% to 95%. But considering the non-toxicity and safety of the pesticide, this indicator is very good. The drug is able to retain its beneficial properties in the range from +40 to -50 degrees. Even if it is frozen and thawed, the bacteria in Fitosporin will be quite viable.

It is impossible to list all types of diseases against which the drug is effective, but we will name the most common:

  • root rots of various types;
  • scab;
  • powdery mildew;
  • late blight;
  • bacteriosis;
  • white spotting;
  • rhizoctoniasis;
  • mold;
  • Phomasis;
  • leaf rust, etc.

Kinds

Fitosporin M can be purchased in three different versions:

  • powder;
  • viscous paste;
  • liquid.

All types can cope with fungi and bacteria with approximately the same effectiveness - their various options are created only for the convenience of the user.

The powder has the form of a finely dispersed dry substance, the paste has the form of a flat cake packed in a plastic bag, and the liquid has the form of a concentrated suspension. Before using any type of drug, it must be diluted with water in the proportion indicated in the instructions for use.

Reanimator

In addition to the listed types, there is also Fitosporin-reanimator. This type is intended for the restoration of tissues affected by diseases. The product contains antibiotics, amino acids and other useful components. These substances quickly destroy pathogenic microflora and easily deal with harmful spores. Thanks to the drug, it is possible to enhance the growth of crops after diseases and protect them from adverse effects.

Purpose

The drug Fitosporin M can be used to treat indoor plants (and others) at any stage of the growing season. You can also use the product even when the plants are blooming or their fruits are ripening. Such use is permitted due to the fact that the drug has extremely low toxicity and is safe. Therefore, you can use Fitosporin M in an apartment without fear that treating potted plants will cause poisoning to family members and animals.

Thanks to Fitosporin:

  • the stress factor in indoor plants is reduced;
  • resistance to diseases becomes higher;
  • immunity is activated;
  • exchange processes improve.

The drug fights pathogenic microflora and protects plants from re-infection.

The product immediately after reaching its destination begins its fight against harmful microorganisms. Few other drugs can destroy pathological fungi and bacteria as quickly. For watering indoor flowers, Fitosporin M is usually used once a month - this is quite enough to protect crops from diseases.

Warn, do not expose

The effectiveness of phytosporin is determined by the plant culture, the timing of its processing, and the complexity of the disease, if any. To ensure that the result does not take long to arrive, the flowers must be sprayed and watered as early as possible, i.e. before possible disease. Hay cells multiply continuously, so it is advisable to use phytosporin for flower seedlings only once, and after transplanting seedlings into open ground - no more than once every 1-1.5 months.

On a note

Although phytosporin spores can survive in conditions of high humidity, the biological product is recommended for use in clear weather, since precipitation quickly washes away beneficial bacteria from foliage and soil

The manufacturer tried to create a separate product for each crop. If roses are subject to care, then you need to choose a biofungicide with the inscription “phytosporin M flowers” ​​and the corresponding image. The classification of phytosporin by consistency deserves a separate discussion.

How to use


To use the product correctly, it is necessary to consider the features of its use in the form of powder, paste and liquid. We will consider everything in relation to caring for indoor plants.

Liquid

Fitosporin M in this version is intended mainly for spraying and watering indoor and garden flowers, as well as greenhouse crops. You can also spray the seed intended for storage with the solution.

To care for home flowers, it is convenient to use Fitosporin M, packaged in 110 ml containers. To water the plant, the concentrate must first be diluted with water: the proportion depends on the type of plant, its age, and state of health. If preventive treatment is required, the following proportion is usually used: one tablespoon of concentrate per bucket of water. The resulting amount of solution is designed to water 1 m2 of soil, so if there are few potted plants at home, the proportion must be reduced.

The instructions say that if it is necessary to treat the seed - cuttings, shoots - before planting, they should be soaked in a Fitosporin solution for an hour (4 tablespoons of concentrate per liter of water).

To treat indoor flowers to protect them from fungus and bacteria, you should use the following proportion: 2 drops of concentrated preparation per 1 glass of water.

Paste

To treat plants with paste, the paste must be turned into a liquid solution. First, prepare a concentrate by diluting 100 grams of the drug in one glass of water. To spray indoor plants, take two drops of the prepared liquid concentrate per glass of water, for watering - 15 drops per the same amount of water.

After dissolving the paste in water, be sure to stir the mixture so that the substance is distributed more evenly. The solution obtained from the paste can be stored.

To prepare a solution for pre-sowing treatment of planting material, you need to dilute 2 drops of concentrate in a glass of water: keep the seeds, shoots, and bulbs in the liquid for two hours. To water indoor flowers, you should prepare a working solution in the following proportion: 15 drops per liter.

Due to the fact that the paste contains the nutritious elixir GUMI, the effect of the solution becomes similar to the effect of fertilizers. Let us also note the immunomodulatory properties of this substance: thanks to the solution obtained from the paste, indoor flowers recover much faster after illness or pruning. It is important to know that humic acids are necessary only for the roots - it is therefore not advisable to use the paste for spraying.

Powder

To prepare the solution, a 10-gram sachet should be diluted in a glass of water. The result is a concentrate, which is then used for watering and spraying indoor flowers (2 drops and 15 per glass of water). It is necessary to dilute the powder an hour or two before direct watering or spraying. A fresh solution will be most effective.

For spraying and watering for preventive purposes, the powder is diluted in the following proportion: half a teaspoon per glass of water. If the flowers are sick and need to be treated, the solution is prepared less concentrated: half a teaspoon per liter of water. The resulting liquid can be used to treat both indoor and garden flowers.

Dilute the powdered product

  1. We take warm water (30-40 degrees) and a product based on:
  • 1 g per 0.5 l for spraying;
  • 1.5 g per 1 liter of water for preventive purposes;
  • 2 g per 1 liter for the treatment of diseased plants.

Important! For better dissolution, stir the powder in a small amount of water to wet it, then add to the desired concentration.

  1. Leave for 2-3 hours to completely dissolve and activate the bacteria.
  2. Stir for a few minutes.
  3. The solution is ready for use.

Compatibility

Macrobiotic agent Fitosporin M is compatible with various chemicals. The following drugs can be used simultaneously with the use of Fitosporin:

  • Aktara;
  • Fitoverm;
  • Quadris;
  • Strobe;
  • Fundazol;
  • Vitivax 2000 and others.

Also, the use of Fitosporin can be combined with fertilizers and root stimulants:

  • Zircon;
  • Amulet;
  • Epin;
  • Plantafon and others.

Important: you cannot combine the use of this product with alkaline preparations.

It is also not recommended to use Fitosporin paste simultaneously with growth stimulants, since the paste contains humic acids.

What plants is it suitable for?

The drug Fitosporin M, as already mentioned, has universal application and, in addition to garden crops, can be used to protect indoor plants. The product is effective for treating all green, flowering, ornamental, climbing, deciduous and any other plants grown in the house.

The drug is convenient to prepare, economical, and safe. The product can be used for:

  • spraying the ground parts of plants;
  • watering;
  • disinfection of seeds and shoots, cuttings;
  • treatment of plants during transplantation.

Fitosporin for flowers – some advantages
