Using rice water to water flowers carelessly is like poison - every plant you grow dies!

Rice water

Rice water contains small broken rice grains, bran and so on, and is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and other trace elements. Watering flowers with a bit of rice water can make the branches and leaves lush, the blooms more vivid, and make them burst out of the pot. So why do some flower lovers end up with yellow, wilted leaves after watering, while others see crazier and crazier growth the more they water?

Wrong ways to use rice water:

1. Pouring rice water directly into the pot

Rice water is indeed rich in nutrients, but it must be fermented before being used on flowers. Watering directly will burn the roots, and over time it will also cause the soil to harden, blocking root respiration - it will surely be close to death!

2. Using it on alkaline-loving flowers

Some flower lovers do use properly fermented rice water, so why did their flowers die? The reason is that fermented rice water is acidic, yet it was used on flowers that prefer alkaline conditions, such as cacti and cactus balls.

Correct ways to use rice water:

1. Pour rice water into a plastic bottle

Find a clean plastic bottle, pour in the rice water, filling it to 8 parts full. Toss in a few orange peels, put the lid on tightly, and place it somewhere with high temperature and direct sunlight.

2. Fermentation is complete after 15 days

During fermentation, open the lid every 3 days to let air in, then close it again. After about 15 days, the rice water will turn yellow or black and smell a bit sour, which means it is fermented. Because of the orange peel, it also has a fresh fragrance.

3. Dilute 10 times to water flowers, branches and leaves grow strong

After the rice water is fermented, be sure to add 10 times its volume of clean water to dilute it before using it on flowers, otherwise the soil will become too acidic, which is not good for flower growth.

Which flowers can be watered with rice water

Fermented rice water is acidic, suitable for acid-loving flowers such as camellias, azaleas, gardenias and Chinese roses. Some northern flower lovers always get yellow, wilted leaves when growing these flowers, which is very likely because the soil is too alkaline. Watering with a bit of rice water can make the soil more acidic, keeping azaleas, gardenias and others lush and green!

Potato water

The water used to rinse shredded or chopped potatoes contains a lot of starch and is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium and trace elements. It is also a fertilizer water for flowers, but some flower lovers find their plants dying the more they water. Why?

Wrong ways to use potato water:

Watering flowers without fermenting it

Flower lovers whose plants die the more they water must be watering directly without fermentation. The starch will ferment in the soil, releasing heat and burning the roots - no wonder the flowers won't grow well!

Correct ways to use potato water:

1. Pour potato water into a bucket to ferment

Find a clean bucket, pour in the potato water, but don't fill it too full. Then cover it with a lid and place it somewhere with plenty of sunlight. Every 3 days, open the lid to ventilate, then close it tightly again.

2. Mix with water to water flowers, and they grow like crazy

When the temperature is high and the sun is strong, it will ferment in about 1 month. Take out some potato water, mix it with 10 times its volume of clean water, and water the flowers - they will surely grow like crazy!

Which flowers can be watered with potato water

Flowers like pothos, asparagus fern and money tree can all be watered with fermented potato water. They grow as if they've taken hormones, several times faster, with dense clusters of blooms!

Overnight tea

Leftover tea contains vitamins, potassium, calcium, zinc and other nutrients. Don't pour out leftover tea - collect it to water flowers and you can save money on flower fertilizer, while also making flowers grow vigorously and burst out of the pot.

Wrong ways to use leftover tea:

Dumping both tea leaves and tea into the soil all at once

Huahua has seen more than once that when some people get lazy, they like to pour leftover tea into the flower pot. This not only burns the roots, but the tea leaves also mold and rot in the soil, and of course it attracts bugs!

Correct ways to use leftover tea:

1. Put leftover tea into a plastic bottle

Find a plastic bottle, pour in the leftover tea, and you can add a little brown sugar to speed up fermentation. Then screw on the cap and place it in the sun. It will ferment in about 5 days.

2. Dilute before watering flowers, leaves become fat and green

Pour out some fermented leftover tea, add clean water to dilute it. The ratio of leftover tea to clean water is 1:20. After drinking it, the flowers sprout buds rapidly, and the stems become thick and strong!

Which flowers can be watered with leftover tea?

Leftover tea can be used on aglaia, azaleas, camellias, gardenias and so on, making them burst out of the pot with big, green leaves!

Blanching water from meat

Before eating raw meat such as pork or chicken, many people are used to blanching it first in boiling water to remove residual blood and the gamey smell. The water from blanching meat contains nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, trace elements and so on - definitely a great thing for watering flowers!

Wrong ways to use meat blanching water:

Pouring meat blanching water directly into the pot

Meat blanching water is fairly greasy and still contains some residual raw meat bits and blood. If poured directly into the flower pot, it will not only attract many bugs and pathogens, but will also ferment and burn the roots!

Correct ways to use meat blanching water:

1. Put the meat blanching water into a plastic bottle

First let the meat blanching water sit, and once it has cooled, put it into a plastic bucket, filling it to 8 parts full. Add some tea leaves to remove the odor, then screw on the cap and place it in direct sunlight.

2. Dilute before watering flowers, and they surge into a green waterfall

After 20-30 days, the meat blanching water will be fully fermented. Mix it with an equal volume of clean water to dilute it before watering flowers - after drinking it, the flowers grow wildly and burst out of the pot!

Which flowers can be watered with meat blanching water?

Flowers like pothos, clivia and money tree can all be watered with meat blanching water, making the stems thicker and thicker and the leaves dense!

Soybean water

The water used to soak soybeans before making soy milk or tofu pudding, or the water used to boil soybeans before making bean paste, contains nitrogen. It is perfect for watering flowers, making them shoot up wildly and quickly form a green wall!

Wrong ways to use soybean water:

Water from freshly soaked or boiled soybeans cannot be poured directly onto flowers. The nutrients in it cannot be absorbed by the flowers and will instead affect their growth.

Correct ways to use soybean water:

1. Don't add seasonings to the water used to boil soybeans

The water used to boil soybeans ferments faster than the water used to soak them, so Huahua will introduce the fermentation method for boiled soybean water here. When boiling soybeans, just add clean water - don't add salt or other seasonings first.

2. Put the soybean water into a plastic bottle

First let the soybean water cool, then put it into a plastic bottle, filling it to 8 parts full. Add some orange peel, screw on the lid, and place it in the sun to ferment.

3. Mix with water to water flowers, and they burst out of the pot

Generally after 15-20 days, the soybean water is fermented. Add 10 times its volume of clean water, stir to dilute, then water the flowers - it will absolutely make the leaves emerald green and glossy!

Which flowers can be watered with soybean water?

Most foliage plants can be watered with fermented soybean water, such as pothos, happiness tree and spider plant.

Expired milk

Expired milk is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and can be used to water flowers, making them grow nearly 2 times faster, with leaves as green as emerald, and more and more vivid blooms!

Wrong ways to use expired milk:

Expired milk also cannot be poured directly onto flowers - it will damage the roots and cause yellow, wilted leaves!

Correct ways to use expired milk:

1. Put the expired milk into a plastic bottle

Pour expired milk into a clean plastic bottle, then add some tea leaves or orange peel to remove the odor. Cover with the lid, open it every 2 days to ventilate, and place it in the sun. It will ferment in about 2-3 months.

2. Dilute before watering flowers

Pour out some fermented expired milk, add 50 times its volume of clean water to dilute. Be careful not to pour it on the leaves - pour it directly into the soil. After absorbing the nutrients, the flowers will rapidly produce 100 blooms!

Which flowers can be watered with expired milk?

Fermented expired milk is somewhat acidic, suitable for acid-loving flowers such as azaleas and gardenias, making them grow more and more vigorously, with 50 blooms on 1 branch!

Almost every household has these kinds of wastewater,

so flower lovers, don't waste them!
