1. How often should I fertilize my vertical tower plants?
Apply organic fertilizers once every 15–20 days. Use a balanced mix of compost, vermicompost, or liquid bio-fertilizers for healthy plant growth.
2. Which fertilizers are best for vertical gardening?
For leafy greens: Use nitrogen-rich sources like mustard cake water or compost tea
For fruiting plants: Add bone meal or banana peel extract
For root crops: Use potash-rich organic fertilizers like wood ash or dried banana powder
3. Can I use chemical fertilizers in vertical towers?
It’s possible but not recommended. Organic fertilizers are safer, promote soil health, and keep your tower eco-friendly and pesticide-free.
4. How do I apply fertilizers without disturbing the plants?
For solid fertilizers: Gently mix them into the topsoil of each pocket.
For liquid: Use a watering can or spray bottle and apply around the plant base.
5. Do I need to fertilize newly sown seeds or seedlings?
Wait for 10–15 days after germination or transplanting, then start a mild fertilizer routine to avoid burning tender roots.
6. Can I make my own organic fertilizer at home?
Yes! Use kitchen waste compost, banana peel water, onion peel soak, or curd-buttermilk mixture as low-cost, homemade alternatives.
7. What are signs of nutrient deficiency in tower plants?
Yellow leaves: Lack of nitrogen
Poor flowering or fruiting: Phosphorus deficiency
Browning edges or weak stems: Lack of potassium
Observing these signs early helps in timely nutrient correction.
