FAQs 20. Fertilization and Nutrition – FAQs



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.
