The florist's secret against yellow leaves: expired small pills, diluted in water and poured on - hard to turn yellow, blooms profusely
At home, when we usually buy medicine, we buy many boxes at once, and sometimes we won't use them again for a long time, so over time they expire. These expired pills have already lost their medicinal efficacy, and taking them again is useless. But don't rush to throw them away - although these expired pills no longer have much medicinal efficacy, they can still be used to grow flowers.
They are very good for growing flowers, and can keep the leaves of your lucky bamboo, pothos, clivia and others from turning yellow, making them shine green.
1. Aspirin
Aspirin contains abundant salicylic acid, which can promote plant root growth. When we take cuttings, they are not easy to root, so we can also soak the cuttings in aspirin solution before planting them, and this way they root much faster. This method can be used once a month.
Vitamin B12
Don't throw away expired vitamin B12 - it is very effective for growing flowers. Regularly watering flowers with vitamin B12 solution can make flowers grow robustly with dark green leaves. Vitamin B12 also helps promote rooting.
Lucky bamboo
How to use: Add one tablet of vitamin B12 to hydroponic lucky bamboo to speed up rooting. When used as rooting water, generally use 0.05 g of vitamin B12 added to 1 kg of water. When used as rooting solution, generally the stock solution or a 2-fold dilution both work.
When repotting a flower pot, you generally need to trim the plant's roots, cutting off the overly long and rotten roots. After trimming, you can apply Daknin (miconazole nitrate) to the wounds, which can inhibit fungal reproduction and prevent the roots from rotting further.
Orchids are also very prone to rot. Spraying a Daknin (miconazole nitrate) solution on the flowers once a month can effectively sterilize them. Squeeze out 4 cm of Daknin, add 1000 ml of clean water, stir well, and then use it to spray the orchids.
