What is Themor Karaisal and How to Make it?

In the past few post I have mentioned some mixes for plant nourishment again and again. A friend of mine questioned me like “Have you ever posted on how to make these mixes?” I said no I haven’t yet. For which he again asked me “Then how do you propose that the people who read your blog will use them?” Hearing this a light bulb went on in my brain and here after I will be posting some organic mixes for plant nourishment and for pest control.

In this post I am going to share on What is Themor Karaisal and on How to prepare it.

What is Themor Karaisal?

A lot of you who are my English readers (and yeah this is a bilingual blog I also post everything in Tamil as well. You can read it here.) might be wondering about this from reading this in my previous posts. Themor Karaisal is the Tamil name for Coconut milk(Thengai) and Buttermilk(Mor) mix and that’s exactly what it is.  This mix has nothing other the ingredients mentioned above(some water maybe).

I am not sure if this mix has any English term for it. If you could pick one what would that be? Comment it in the comments section below!

What is the use of Themor Karaisal?

The most important part of any horticultural plants is the production of flowers which then turn to fruits or vegetables. Each of these cycle is important in any plant’s/tree’s life. It also shows how well we have taken care of the plant.

In some cases the plant might not produce expected flowers or the flowers might fall resulting in very low to no produce. This might be due to water scarcity, weak seeds or weak land.

Themor Karaisal solves exactly these problems.

How? You ask?

Well the answer according to organic farmers is pretty simple. Plants takes humungous amount of energy during flowering. The nutrition is sucked from the ground through the roots and then is transported to the flower buds through the trunk, the stems and the branches. A weak plant or a plant with very little watering might not crack this up.

Themor Karaisal solves this by boosting photosynthesis and by providing nutrition directly through leaves. This reaches the buds much more easily than from roots. Thus helping in growth of buds and preventing them from falling. This eventually results in increased produce.

How to make Themor Karaisal?

This is pretty simple.

• The first step is preparing buttermilk which is 60% of the mix.
• The buttermilk should be left to ferment for 5 days.
• It should be fermented so much that sour smell should make to close your nose when you open the lid.
• Then on the sixth day prepare some fresh coconut milk which is the remaining 40% of the mix
• If you are going to make 1 liter the mix then 600ml must be buttermilk and the remaining 400ml should be coconut milk.
• If you can’t get enough coconut milk you can add some water for remaining part.
• Now mix them both and let them ferment for another 4 days.

There you go. You have now got the recipe for the magic mix.

How to use Themor Karaisal?

Themor Kasaial is sprayed onto the leaves. For 1 litre of water 50-100ml of the mix is added and sprayed. The amount of karaisal mixed depends upon the need of the plants. If a plant does not flower at all then you can add 75-100ml. If you want to increase the amount of flowers and to reduce the falling, then you can add 50-75ml of karaisal.

• Prepare the mix just before the flowering season and spray it in the right time.
• Spray the mix in evening in such a way that the mix drips of the leaves. This is to give the spray some time to immerse in leaves.
• If a tree flowers only on one side then you can spray this mix to the part that is not flowering.
• You can also spray another time once the flowers have bloomed to make them stay where they are.

That is all. Let me know if this works. Let know about the mixes you want to know about. Do you have another great tip to add? Mention them below in the comments. Have questions?
