Using vinegar to make potting soil acidic easily kills plants with too much acid; better to use this instead, which is a hundred times better than vinegar

In recent years, many people grow some flowers at home, such as Chinese roses, bougainvillea, jasmine, and other flowers that prefer an acidic environment, which promotes root nutrient absorption and speeds up plant growth and blooming.

And when supplementing acidity for flowers, many gardening enthusiasts think of vinegar first, but after watering flowers with vinegar, some enthusiasts found that it did not make them grow very well, and some even "died of acidity." What is going on?

It is not that vinegar cannot add acidity to plants, but the edible vinegar we usually use has a lot of salt added to it. When poured into potting soil, it will react with some elements and affect the normal growth of plants. In more serious cases, it can also cause soil compaction, root rot, and so on.

So if you want to choose vinegar to supplement acidity for flowers, choose edible vinegar with some inorganic salts, so that it can promote flower growth and blooming.

Today Hua'er will introduce another thing to supplement "acidity" for flowers, a hundred times better than vinegar. It is lemon water. Besides supplementing acidity for flowers, lemon can also provide plants with some trace elements, such as zinc, iron, etc., which can make plant leaves more green and flowers bloom brightly.

Specific method: cut a small slice of lemon, then put it in a basin and mash it to let the juice flow out, pour in clean water to dilute 500 times, you can soak for one hour, or use it directly, remove the crushed residue, and then pour it directly into the potting soil, watering once a week to slowly change the acidity of the potting soil.

Note one point: when watering, slowly pour it in from the edge of the flower pot, do not pour it directly on the head.
