Many things in our daily lives can be used to water flowers, such as rice water and goldfish water. If you use them correctly, the flowers grow very lushly, but if you use them wrong, the flowers may die outright. Alkaline-loving flowers can't be watered with rice water, because after fermentation rice water becomes weakly acidic, so it suits acid-loving flowers. As for alkaline-loving ones, such as cacti, hyacinths and so on, these can't be watered with rice water, otherwise you'll water them to death.

We keep the water from the first rinse of the rice, then put it in a plastic bottle. We cut up some orange peel and put it in, because the fermentation process gives off a bad smell, and adding orange peel this way keeps the smell away. Then after sealing it, leave it out in the sun to bake. After a week, open it to let it breathe, and keep this up for half a month, until the color of the rice water turns black, which means it has fermented well.

Rice water contains many trace elements, and after fermentation it becomes weakly acidic. Then dilute the rice water with clean water at a ratio of 1:10, and this way you can water your flowers with it.
