Learn to water first when growing flowers; water correctly and you can even skip flower fertilizer
If you want to grow flowers well, watering is the first lesson you must learn. If you cannot learn how to water flowers, then you definitely cannot grow them well. How should you water flowers in the process of growing them? Let us explain in detail. Master certain watering techniques, and you can even make flowers flourish with lush branches and leaves without needing to fertilize!
1. Watering taboos
When watering flowers and plants, you must not let them go alternately dry and wet. When watering, you must not go a long time without watering and then water frequently in a short period. This will make flowers and plants unable to adapt and lead to root rot. You also must not give half-watering, otherwise the flowers will be wet on top and dry below, which easily causes the flower roots to grow upward and affects the normal growth of the plants.
2. Correct method
Generally, each time you water, you need to wait until the potting soil is dry before watering. You can insert a toothpick or ice cream stick into the flowerpot. When you want to water, take it out of the pot. If the toothpick has become dry, then water, and when watering you should water thoroughly.
3. Choice of water
The best water for watering flowers and plants is rainwater, river water, and pond water. If it is tap water, it needs to be left to sit for one or two days, and after the chlorine has dissipated, then use it to water flowers. If the water used for watering flowers contains a certain amount of fertilizer, then it is even more effective with half the effort; it not only waters the flowers but also achieves the effect of fertilizing.
Rice-washing water for watering flowers: rice-washing water contains nutrients such as protein and starch. After complete fermentation, it is acidic, very suitable for acid-loving flowers and plants such as jasmine, gardenia, Aglaia odorata, and camellia. It can provide them with sufficient nutrients while watering, making them flourish with lush branches and leaves.
Air conditioner water: in summer, what is most indispensable is air conditioner water. The condensed water from an air conditioner is neutral soft water, very suitable for growing flowers and fish. Using it to water flowers does not easily cause alkalinity. Using tap water to water flowers easily causes soil compaction, while using air conditioner water to water flowers will not cause this situation.
Beer for watering flowers: beer is also an indispensable drink in summer. After diluting leftover beer, using it to water flowers is also a very good choice. Beer is rich in trace elements, amino acids, protein, and so on. After dilution, beer can also be used to wipe leaves, which can make the leaves emerald green and thick.
