Expired ointments at home are great for growing flowers, killing bacteria and disinfecting

Actually, many things in our daily life can serve as great helpers for growing flowers, such as these common small ointments below. If you have some lying unused or expired at home, don't throw them away, use them for growing flowers.

Some ointments we commonly use, such as erythromycin ointment and Daktarin cream, have a certain effect on eliminating bacteria, and they are likewise suitable for eliminating bacteria on some plants.

When plants develop black spot disease, anthracnose or leaf spot disease, some necrotic spots will appear on the leaves. Keeping these spots not only affects the appearance, but may also spread the infection.

At this time, apply erythromycin ointment or Daktarin cream to the leaves with spots, and be sure to apply it to both the front and back of the leaves. After a period of time, the bacteria will be eliminated, and the possibility of infection is also prevented.

Besides erythromycin ointment, some medicinal liquids can also be used for growing flowers, such as gentian violet. We normally use it to disinfect wounds after an injury, and for plants it can play this role as well.

When we graft, or prune the flowers we grow at home, it is inevitable that we will see some sap flowing out of the flowers. If it is not treated, the wound will become infected.

After pruning, apply some gentian violet to the plant's wound, which can play a role in killing bacteria and disinfecting. And if your plant has root rot due to overwatering, after cleaning up the wound, you can apply some gentian violet, which can also play a role in killing bacteria and disinfecting.

The annoying aphids and red spiders are the most hated pests in our daily flower growing. Mix essential balm and water at a ratio of 1:500, then spray it on the places where aphids and red spiders have appeared, which can effectively prevent them from appearing.

Actually, no matter what it is at home, many things can be used for growing flowers, it just depends on whether you have the ability to discover it.
