4 Great Kinds of Water for Watering Flowers, So You Never Have to Spend Money on Fertilizer Again
When it comes to growing flowers, we have to say that if you want your flowers to grow well, fertilizer is essential. But not every flower-loving friend prepares special fertilizer for their plants at home. So what do you do when your flowers lack nutrients? Don't worry, there are many things in daily life that can replace flower fertilizer to water your flowers, making them grow strong and bloom abundantly. Here are the 4 most common homemade flower fertilizers for your reference.
1. Vegetable Blanching Water
Sometimes when we cook, we blanch vegetables, and this vegetable water with no salt or other seasonings added, once cooled, is an excellent fertilizer for watering flowers. Give your plants some about once every half month.
2. Rice Washing Water
It must be said that rice washing water cannot be used directly, as it easily compacts the soil and attracts bugs. Rice washing water is generally required to be fermented before use. Today I'd like to recommend a different way to use it: soak tobacco shreds in water, mix that with the rice washing water, and use it to water your flowers. It can easily kill some insect eggs in the soil, and you'll never have to worry about bugs on your flowers again.
3. Eggshells Turned into Flower Fertilizer
Eggshells in the kitchen are truly a great thing. Wash the eggshells clean, sun-dry them for a few days, crush them, and add them directly to the soil for growing flowers. Eggshells not only slowly release nutrients to nourish the plants, but also loosen the soil. If you spread the dried eggshells directly on the surface of the flower pot, they can also drive away those annoying slugs and snails.
4. The Clever Use of Fish Tank Water
If you keep fish at home, never waste the fish tank water. Every time you change the water in the fish tank, keep the old water to water your flowers. Its fertilizer strength is mild and won't burn the roots, making it especially suitable for foliage plants like pothos (Epipremnum aureum), helping pothos grow vigorously without yellowing leaves.
Note this: no matter which method you use, just use it 1-2 times a month. Fellow flower lovers, what other useful flower-growing tips have you used? You're welcome to share your care experience with us.
