Gardenia and Chinese rose... give them a sip of sweet-and-sour water and they will burst with flower buds, more effective than a shot of adrenaline!

Tomatoes + rice-washing water

Everyone knows tomatoes taste sweet and sour, so they can be used to adjust soil pH. Come take a look with Huahua at how it is done!

How to use:

1. Chop the tomatoes into pieces, then find a clean plastic bottle and put the chopped tomatoes into it.

2. Pour the rice-washing water into the bottle, seal it and put it in the sun to ferment. Let the bottle breathe about every 3-5 days. It only takes about 10-20 days for it to fully decompose.

3. Dilute the fully decomposed tomato rice-washing water with clean water at a ratio of 1:10 and use it to water the flowers. It not only makes the soil weakly acidic but also supplements nutrients, making your flowers grow more and more vigorously!

Lemon water

Huahua basically cannot get used to eating lemons, because drinking them steeped in water is just too sour, and adding rock sugar risks gaining weight, which is really such a dilemma!

How to use:

1. Slice the lemons you bought and steep them in water to drink. Lemon water is most suitable for summer, as it clears heat and reduces internal fire!

2. After the lemon water has lost its flavor, take out the lemon slices and throw them directly into a large bucket of clean water, then leave them at room temperature for 1-2 days.

3. After the second steeping, the acidity of the lemon slices has greatly weakened. Watering flowers with the soaked lemon water not only improves the alkaline soil condition but also will not burn the roots, and the method is simple and convenient!

Sulfur powder

Some gardening friends also suggested to Huahua to solve this problem directly from the soil itself, which is to add a little sulfur powder to the soil.

How to use:

1. When preparing new soil for flowers, first expose the soil to high heat for 1-2 days, or put it in the microwave and heat it for a few minutes, so as to kill some small insects and pathogens in the soil.

2. After the soil has been dried in the sun, mix sulfur powder into the soil. About 1-2 g of sulfur powder mixed into 1 liter of soil is enough. Finally, stir it evenly.

3. Sulfur powder takes a long time to acidify, so the effect of sulfur powder in improving acidic soil is relatively slow, but it lasts a long time. Sulfur powder also has an insecticidal effect. Mixing in a little each year when repotting is enough.

Rainwater

If some gardening friends find the above methods too troublesome, then why not just use rainwater to water the flowers!

How to use:

1. Every time it rains, gardening friends can just put a basin or bucket outside to catch the rainwater. But if the environmental pollution in your area is relatively serious, then it is better not to use it.

2. Store the rainwater and use it each time you water the flowers. Rainwater not only contains a large amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and other substances, but is also slightly acidic, making it very suitable for growing flowers!

Citric acid

Finally, Huahua will teach everyone one more good method, which is to use the citric acid commonly found at home for cleaning limescale, which can also achieve the effect of improving soil pH!

How to use:

1. For gardening friends in the north, add citric acid directly to water. If it is difficult to control the amount, you can buy pH test paper and add a little citric acid to the water each time until the water quality stays at around 5.5.

2. Use the prepared citric acid water to directly water the flowers, and it can improve the alkaline soil condition, making your flowers grow more and more vigorously and burst into full bloom!

These little methods Huahua mentioned,

have all you gardening friends learned them?

Why not hurry up and try them yourself!
