Watering flowers with wastewater makes them grow vigorously without fertilizer, and you will regret not knowing this sooner
Orange peel water
Many people love eating mandarins and oranges, but after eating them, don't throw away the peels. They are great for growing flowers!
1. Tear the mandarin peels and orange peels into pieces, then put them in clean water and soak for 1 day. By then the water has already turned orange-yellow.
2. For acid-loving flowers, orange peel water, which is acidic, is just perfect. Not only will the soil not become saline-alkaline, but the leaves will not turn yellow either. Gardenias, camellias, and azaleas can all use it.
Expired milk
Milk left unfinished after a meal, or expired milk, can also be used as flower fertilizer. But it absolutely must not be poured on directly, as that is basically indirectly killing your flowers!
1. Pour the leftover milk into a bottle, add clean water, and cover it with a lid but do not screw it too tight. Leave a little gap to let gas escape. After about one month, it is ready to use.
2. Dilute the fermented milk with water 100 times, then pour it into the flower pot. It can supplement some potassium and other elements for the flowers, making them grow stronger!
Cigarette butt water
Cigarettes contain harmful substances such as nicotine and tar, which are not only harmful to human health, but also very effective against small insects.
Soak cigarettes in water for 1 day, then dilute the filtered cigarette butt water another 20 times. Put it into a spray bottle and spray it onto leaves and branches with insects, and it can kill the pests.
Rusty water
Not only do people need iron supplementation, flowers also need iron supplementation on time, otherwise they will turn yellow. Rusty water can solve this.
Soak rusty iron nails in water until the water becomes light yellow, then use it to water the flowers. If they are hydroponic flowers, you can directly throw a nail into the bottle, and the leaves will not turn yellow. It is most effective for lucky bamboo.
That is all for the introduction to the methods of using various kinds of wastewater to grow flowers.
Next time you have these kinds of water at home,
definitely do not pour them away again!
