Water your houseplants this way and they will thrive even without fertilizer
As the saying goes, it takes ten years of practice to master watering flowers. When it comes to everyday plant care, watering well is the key. Most flower lovers who fail with their plants have a direct connection to watering. Below, I will introduce a few little watering tips.
Watering flowers should be done according to the habits of the plant. Different plants have different water needs. Flowers with high water demands should be watered more frequently; conversely, they should be watered less. Second, the watering frequency should also be adjusted according to the season. Generally, water less in winter, and the frequency can be a bit higher in summer.
What kind of water is best for watering flowers
The water used for watering flowers is best neutral or slightly acidic. Generally, rainwater and snow water are best for watering flowers, as they contain more natural substances. Next is river water, pond water, and other unpolluted water, which is also very good for watering. I will also introduce a few common types of household water for watering flowers, which are rich in nutrients.
1. Water from boiling eggs
The water from boiling eggs contains fairly rich minerals. Using it to water flowers can make the plants flourish with lush branches and leaves, brighten the flower colors, and extend the blooming period. It is also quite convenient to use; you just need to let it cool to room temperature before using it to water the flowers.
2. Water from a fish tank
Friends who keep fish at home can use the fish tank water to water their flowers. Fish tank water contains fish droppings and some leftover fish food. Watering flowers with it can provide nutrients to the plants and promote their growth. As long as the fish tank water does not contain salt, it can be used directly, and it can be used without fermentation.
3. Beer
Beer that you do not drink or expired beer can both be used to water flowers. Generally, after diluting it forty to fifty times, it can be used to water flowers. Beer is rich in nutrients that can promote plant growth and make the leaves a deep green. It is especially good for Clivia (Clivia miniata), as it can increase leaf width and color intensity, making the leaves appear even more emerald green.
Expired milk, rice washing water, and the like at home can also be used to water flowers after fermentation, and the effect is also very good. They can provide ample nutrients for the plants. In summer, the water discharged from air conditioners is also very good water for watering flowers. Condensate water is neutral and much better than tap water.
