Don't Worry About Yellow Leaves and Root Rot in Orchids: 3 Types of Expired Medicine at Home Don't Throw Them Away, They Can Save Them
3 types of medicine at home that have expired, don't throw them away; turn waste into treasure and give orchids with yellow leaves and root rot a new lease on life.
In our homes, I believe everyone has encountered this situation. There are always expired medicines at home, and these medicines can no longer be taken; the only thing to do is throw them away. Actually, that is not the case. When you encounter this situation in the future, do not throw them away. Although they have all expired and people can no longer take them, they still have very good uses in this respect.
That is, using them for growing and caring for flowers, with obvious results. Today, I will explain in detail how these three types of medicine tablets commonly kept at home can be turned from waste into treasure after they expire.
The first is expired vitamin B12. Because vitamin B12 becomes weakly acidic after dissolving in water, watering orchids with it can effectively regulate the acidity and alkalinity of the orchid pot soil. It can also effectively eliminate chlorine in the water, promote the greening of orchid leaves, and promote orchid rooting. The specific method is to take 3-4 expired tablets, crush them with a wooden stick, pour them into a spray bottle, add clean water and mix evenly at a ratio of 1:1000 to water the orchids. The effect is quite good.
The second is expired aspirin tablets. Take 3-4 expired aspirin tablets, crush them, add an appropriate amount of clean water, mix evenly, then pour into a spray bottle and use it to spray the orchids. Using aspirin aqueous solution to water orchids can effectively increase the survival rate of orchids. This is because aspirin contains salicylic acid, which can promote the growth of orchids, prevent the invasion of pathogens, and promote the growth of orchid roots.
The third is expired vitamins. Directly take 3-4 vitamin tablets, dissolve them in water, put the solution into a spray bottle, and use it to spray the orchids.
When watering orchids with the above three aqueous solutions, do not pour them into the orchid crown.
