Camphor tree leaves as fertilizer

Camphor leaves can be used as fertilizer, but they cannot be used directly. They need to be decomposed first. Only fully decomposed camphor leaves can be used as fertilizer. When using, just bury them directly in the soil.

Most flower plants can use camphor tree leaves, such as orchids, phalaenopsis, Clivia, amaryllis, spider plants, gardenias, etc., which are beneficial to their growth.

How to make fertilizer from camphor leaves

1. Fermentation: Crush the camphor leaves and add water to a suitable humidity. Then add 5%-10% urea and mix evenly, or add poultry manure and ferment together. The fermentation will take about 1-2 months.

2. Prepare the soil: If you use camphor tree leaves as fertilizer, the proportion should not be too high, and you should mix it with the soil. Use it as base fertilizer in the soil and plant the plants directly into it.

Key points for using camphor tree leaf fertilizer

1. The process of turning camphor tree leaves into fertilizer is a humification process. When the leaves fall, they can be decomposed and transformed by microorganisms, humic acid and other substances in the soil, thus becoming fertilizer.

2. Camphor leaves must be completely fermented and decomposed before use, because unfermented leaves will release a lot of heat when fermented in the soil, and in serious cases, the plants may be burned to death.
