One fertillizer + Peace Lily+ Seeds to grow on Mars

My peace lily and One fertilizer

One, a concentrated fertilizer, is a very good one, forgive the repetition. I had a peace lily that I bought one year and the following year it did not produce flowers. So I bought this fertilizer that was a little expensive, but gave very good results, because then, in the second year, my plant grew twenty-five flowers. The flowers are white, but after a while they start to turn green or yellow. In this case I planted the peace lily in a self-watering flowerpot that is also expensive. It allows you to water the plant once a week, for example by adding 2 or 3 litres, and forget about it for the rest of the week.

A Coke for the plants

The fertilizer One has a very dark colour that, once diluted in water, looks like Coke. It looks as if you were giving Coke to your plants. So you can pour yourself a Coke and another “Coke” for your plants. I prefer Pepsi—as we say in Spain, “for tastes, there are colours”.

Peace lily seeds and an idea for Mars

Spathiphyllum seeds are pretty if you look at them carefully. They have a colour somewhere between golden and brown. They are very small, like grape pips or even smaller. Lately I have seen that people are talking about growing plants on Mars after the film “The Martian”, mainly for food. However, I ask myself whether it would be a good thing to grow peace lilies on the Red Planet, because they refresh the air very well by removing toxins from it. If there were more Spathiphyllum on Earth, there would be less CO₂ in the atmosphere too.
