Water your succulents with a little beer and every one of them will grow plump and round, and won't attract pests

The hot summer has already passed, and you probably haven't finished your beer yet. The leftover beer is great for watering plants. Beer is rich in organic matter, and in the soil it breaks down into effective components such as humic acid, providing soil fertility.

Many friends may have tried using beer to water plants, but have you ever tried using beer to grow succulents? Beer changes the acidic and decaying nature of the soil, and for succulents that like acidic soil, the effect is genuinely good.

Generally, dilute the beer 10 times, preferably the cheapest kind of beer. After diluting, you can water it directly at the roots. Do not use beer directly to water plants, and do not use beer to water plants frequently, as it easily causes excess nutrients. Generally, applying it once a month or so is enough.

Beer contains large amounts of carbon dioxide, sugar, protein, amino acids, phosphate and other nutrients, and can provide succulents with the carbon dioxide and various nutrients they need for metabolism. After dilution, beer can also be used as a foliar fertilizer, which can make the succulents grow vigorously. When used as a foliar fertilizer, the concentration should be weaker, diluted more than ten times.

In addition, beer can also kill mealybugs. If mealybugs appear on your succulents, you can dilute the beer five or six times and spray the entire plant. The next day, if the bugs turn reddish-brown and fall off at a touch, it means they are dead. If any remain, spray once more. Generally, spraying about three times in a row will kill all the mealybugs.
