Make flowers more vivid


Many flower lovers complain to Huahua: why do the flowers I carefully tend not bloom as vividly as I imagined?

Homemade onion coloring water

1. Soak chopped onion in clean water, add a few drops of white vinegar, and soak for one day.

2. Filter out the onion after soaking, keep only the onion water, dilute it with water and pour it on the flowers. Water once every 7-10 days.

3. After doing this more than 3 times in a row, once the flowers bloom you will find that the flower color has become more vivid!

Besides onion water making flower colors vivid, fruit peels can do it too!

1. Wash and chop the fruit peels, and put them into a large plastic bucket.

2. Pour water that has been boiled and cooled to 50 degrees into the plastic bucket, and seal it for storage.

3. Put the sealed plastic bucket in a cool, ventilated place to ferment, and open the lid every 3-5 days to let air in.

4. Open and use after one month, mix clean water and the fermented fertilizer water at a ratio of 100:1 and pour it on the flowers.

Kill small insects


When growing flowers, besides worrying about yellow leaves, dead branches, and no blooms, you also have to worry about whether they will attract small insects. Because onions have a pungent smell, they can be used to make insecticide!

Homemade onion insecticide

1. Chop the onion, mix it with water at a ratio of 1:30, and ferment for one day.

2. Spray the fermented onion water on the parts of the flowers where insects gather; this can be combined with watering, for several times in a row.

Of course, there is more than one way to eliminate small insects; foam board can also play a big role!

1. Cut the foam board into the same shape as the flower pot, and cut a "U shape" out of the middle.

2. Put the prepared foam board over the flower plant that needs pest control.

3. Place the flower pot flat under the faucet, turn on the faucet, and focus on rinsing the leaves where there are more small insects.

Rooting


Onions can also help with rooting? Onions have a sterilizing effect, can inhibit bacteria in the soil to a certain extent, and promote rooting.

Homemade onion rooting water

1. Take 1 part garlic and 4 parts onion, peel and wash them, and blend them into juice in a blender.

2. Mix the blended garlic-onion juice with water at a ratio of 1:10, then put the cuttings that need rooting into the prepared rooting water for more than 30 minutes.

There are many ways to make rooting water. Huahua will introduce another one made simply with willow branches!

Find a glass bottle with an opening about the same size as the onion, place the onion on it, fill it with water, with the water level reaching the bottom of the onion.

3. Change water for rooting

Change the water for the onion once a day, and after about a week, the onion can grow long white roots.
