Plants, like most other lifeforms, can benefit from healthy doses of vitamins and minerals. Most people are aware that plants need certain minerals, such as phosphorus, iron and calcium, to thrive, but occasional doses of vitamins A, B, C and E may also help vegetable plants produce more plentiful crops and other plants grow larger, according to Mother Earth News. If your garden's soil conditions are poor, use multivitamin tablets formulated for human consumption to water your plants for a boost of nutrition.
Things You'll Need
Multivitamins
Mortar and pestle
Tablespoon
Watering can
Buy a multivitamin high in vitamin C, calcium, potassium, iron and phosphorus. For best results, choose one that is organic and derives its minerals from plants. This will make it easier for the plants to absorb and process the nutrients.
Crush four multivitamins with a mortar and pestle. If you don't have one, use the back of a sturdy tablespoon and a flat surface. Keep working the vitamins until they form a fine powder. Chunks will not dissolve well.
Mix the powdered vitamins with 1 gallon of water until the vitamins have completely dissolved. Pour the mixture into your watering can.
Water your plants with the multivitamin mixture once every two to three months.
Tips & Warnings
Some stores sell liquid vitamins that you can also use for this project. Just add 2 to 3 drops to a gallon of water.
