Don't rely on little pills to grow flowers, the real life-saving pill is this
Magical flower-growing remedy: baking soda
Baking soda has antibacterial and disinfecting effects. Using baking soda water to grow flowers can prevent some flower diseases caused by bacterial and fungal infections, and it also helps with acclimating seedlings.
1 Disinfection and sterilization
How to use:
1. Mix baking soda with water to make a baking soda solution with a concentration of 0.3%.
2. Pour the baking soda solution into a spray bottle and spray the front and back of the plant leaves. Then pour the remaining solution into the pot to drench the roots and remove bacteria and fungi from the soil.
3. Roses (Rosa chinensis) are very prone to powdery mildew, and baking soda solution can help inhibit the worsening of the condition. Spraying healthy flowers with baking soda solution regularly can prevent powdery mildew, sooty mold, and anthracnose.
2 Acclimating new pots
Recently many flower lovers have gone to flower markets to buy flowers, but the soil that flower markets prepare for flowers is generally quite poor, so after getting home it usually needs to be removed from the pot and repotted. Sprinkling a layer of baking soda at the bottom of the flower pot can prevent the "stunted seedling" phenomenon and let newly potted flowers adapt to the environment faster.
Magical flower-growing remedy: vinegar
Vinegar tastes sour, and Huahua usually likes to eat it. In fact, many flowers also like to "eat vinegar." Not only can it make leaves greener, it can also treat flower diseases!
1 Yellow leaves turning green
Most flowering plants come from the south and like slightly acidic soil. The soil and water in the north tend to make flower soil alkaline, causing flower leaves to turn yellow, which can be adjusted with vinegar.
How to use:
1. Mix vinegar and clean water at a ratio of 1:1000, and pour it directly into the pot when watering flowers, taking care to keep it a bit away from the roots.
2. Vinegar solution does not need to be used too frequently for watering flowers; using it once a month can keep the soil slightly acidic. This way, acid-loving flowers can also grow happily in the north!
1 Preventing and treating black spot
Flowers such as roses (Rosa chinensis) and roses are prone to black spot. If discovered in time, vinegar can be used to treat it!
How to use:
1. Add vinegar to clean water, with a vinegar-to-water ratio of 1:300, and stir evenly.
2. Spray the vinegar solution on the leaves, making sure to spray both the front and back. Spray twice a week, and after 4~5 consecutive sprays it will take effect. This method is suitable for the early stage of black spot; if it is already very serious, special medication must be used.
Magical flower-growing remedy: white sugar
Although it is still winter now, many flower lovers are still trying cuttings. Some flowers can survive as cuttings as long as the temperature is sufficient, but they root relatively slowly. You can make your own rooting water with white sugar to grow roots faster!
How to use:
1. Put white sugar into a bowl, add 10 times the amount of warm water, and stir a bit so the white sugar completely dissolves.
2. After the sugar water cools, put the cuttings to be rooted into the sugar water and soak for ten minutes, then take them out and rinse with clean water, then place them in clean water for hydroponic rooting.
3. Cuttings soaked in sugar water root faster and grow white roots in just a few days, which can increase the survival rate of winter cuttings.
Magical flower-growing remedy: garlic
The pungent smell of garlic has a disinfecting and sterilizing effect. If the roots or bulbs of a flower rot, garlic can be used instead of carbendazim for sterilization. In addition, garlic can also kill pests for flowers!
1 Preventing and treating flower rot
How to use:
1. Mash garlic, then soak a little soapy water, mix 1:1 garlic water and soapy water, then add 2 times the amount of clean water, and soak overnight to let the allicin fully release.
2. After cutting off the rotten roots and bulbs, apply the soaked garlic soapy water to the wounds, let them dry, and then repot them.
2 Eliminating pests
How to use:
1. Take a few cloves of garlic, peel them, and mash them into garlic paste. Put the garlic paste into a bottle, add 50 times the amount of clean water, and soak for 8~10 hours.
2. Take the upper clear liquid of the soaked garlic water, put it into a spray bottle and spray the leaves. Use it once every 3 days, and after 5 consecutive uses it can basically repel aphids, and it also works on red spider mites and whiteflies.
