Many flower lovers who grow hydroponic plants notice a problem after a while: the plants grow extremely slowly. What can be done about it? Below is a method for making your own hydroponic nutrient solution from rice water, simple and practical, with results even better than store-bought, and the key point is that it costs nothing and is green and eco-friendly.
Fertilizing: How should potted flowers be fertilized?
1. Collecting rice water
Find a few plastic bottles from drinks you have finished, pour in the first rinse of "rice water" from washing rice, and screw the cap on loosely. Put them directly in the sun for about a week; when sunning, leave the cap open, and be careful that the gas produced during fermentation does not burst the bottle.
2. How do you know the rice water has fermented properly?
First look at the water in the bottle: it has turned yellow-black, and there is no sediment left at the bottom. Then smell it: unscrew the bottle and you catch a sour, foul odor. That means it has fermented properly.
3. How do you water flowers with rice water?
Rice water can be used to water flowers every day, but apply it as a thin, diluted fertilizer: when watering, take the fermented rice water and mix it with clean water at about 1:1. Pour it at the roots, not on the leaves.
4. What if the rice water smells too bad to stand?
Here you only need to chop up some orange peel and put it in, and it will ease the bad smell of the fermented rice water.
You can put each day's rice water in a spray bottle and spray the leaves morning and evening; this can make flowers and trees keep green leaves and strong stems, and the flowers will be even more brightly colored.
