When your plants begin flowering, use nutrient-rich fertilizers like Organic Bone Meal Powder or Vermicompost. This helps in boosting the bloom and enhances overall yield.
2. Use Organic Fertilizers
Feed your plants with organic fertilizers such as Cow Dung Manure or Neem Cake. Organic options promote healthy soil life.
