White sugar water

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Flower lovers in the south have started using air conditioning, right? The condensed water from air conditioners is really annoying; you can collect a basin in a day. Don't pour it out, keep it to grow flowers

1. Condensed water is the liquid water formed when water vapor in the air meets the condenser. It is rich in trace elements and can absolutely be used to water flowers and raise fish

Many flower lovers keep both flowers and fish at home. The water in the fish tank is very rich in trace elements and is good fertilizer for growing flowers, so when changing the water, absolutely do not pour it out!

1. Fish tank water is acidic, so acid-loving flowers such as Chinese rose, camellia, gardenia, etc. are all very suitable for it

Rainwater

Complete Guide to Flower Growing

Everyone says spring rain is as precious as oil. Flowers grown outdoors rely on nature and are stronger than the ones we grow at home. When it rains, hurry out to collect rainwater

1. Rainwater is formed when water vapor in the air liquefies upon cooling, and it contains nitrogen from the air, so it is a very natural nitrogen fertilizer

2. When collecting rain, check the day's atmospheric conditions. If the haze is relatively serious, it is best not to collect it. Collected rainwater should also be left to settle, and best exposed to the sun when the sun comes out

3. Acid-loving flowers such as Chinese rose, jasmine, gardenia, orchid tree and crabapple, pomegranate, etc. can all be watered with rainwater, guaranteeing your flowers thick roots and strong leaves!
