Auntie Li grows flowers with onions: every branch bears blooms, bright and fragrant, and everyone envies them

If you want to grow flowers and plants well, you need a unique method. Just look at Auntie Li, who uses onions to grow potted flowers and plants. The blooms are bright and fragrant, and every branch bears flowers. Anyone who sees them is envious!

What is going on here? It turns out onions really are a good thing. Anyone who has cut an onion knows that onions are very pungent and can sterilize and disinfect. They can not only kill pests on flowers and plants, such as red spider mites, aphids, small flying insects and so on. Soaking onions in water and using it to water flowers can also make flower colors vivid, blooms large, and fragrance rich.

Specific method

Chop the onion, soak it in clean water overnight, take the onion out the next day, then dilute the onion water another 10 times and use it to spray the leaf surfaces. You can spray once every 15 days. It can make the leaves emerald green and glossy, and the flowers large and bright with a fragrant scent.

At the same time, this kind of water can also kill red spider mites and aphids. You can spray once every 3 days, for 2 to 3 times in a row, and it can kill the vast majority of red spider mites and aphids, as well as their eggs. Simple and pollution-free!

For common ones like camellia, rhododendron, Chinese rose, gardenia and so on, this method can all be used!

Don't mind the nagging. Below I will share the care methods for these 4 kinds of flowers.

Camellia

When caring for camellia in summer, pay attention to temperature, and provide shade during the hot midday hours. Camellia does not have a very strong demand for light, so it can be placed in a bright, scattered-light spot. When watering camellia in summer, it is not suitable to water heavily; you can spray water on the leaves every day.

Rhododendron

When caring for rhododendron, before it blooms, it is recommended to apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once every 10 days, for 2 to 3 times in a row. This can make the flowers large and increase the number of blooms. When watering rhododendron, you can water once in the morning and once in the evening, and spray water on the leaves during the hot midday hours.

Chinese rose

Chinese rose likes sufficient light. It is relatively drought-tolerant. Usually place it in a sunny and well-ventilated spot. If you want to grow Chinese rose well, it is three parts care and seven parts pruning. Usually prune weak-growing branches, old branches, diseased branches and so on, and after flowering promptly prune the spent flowers to avoid consuming too many nutrients.

It also has a great demand for fertilizer. When potting, add organic base fertilizer at the bottom of the pot, such as decomposed chicken manure. During the growth period, mainly use nitrogen fertilizer; during the flowering and bud-setting period, mainly use phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. You can spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution once every 15 days.

Gardenia

Gardenia likes light, likes acidic soil, likes wind, and also likes water. So when caring for gardenia, place it in a sunny and well-ventilated spot and provide acidic soil. During the hot summer, spray water on the leaves every day to keep the soil moist.
