Summer is inseparable from beer, and I believe there must be beer lovers among you plant friends. Actually, some flowers love beer too. Beer contains some organic substances, and after flowers drink it they grow more and more vigorously, even saving you fertiliser! Today let's take a look at which flowers love a drink~

Pothos

Effect: leaves grow big and green, promoting pothos growth

Take leftover or expired beer, let it sit open first to release the gas, then once the gas has escaped mix it with water (beer:water=1:50). Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and spray it toward the pothos leaves. If you do not have a spray bottle, you can dip a paper towel in it and wipe the leaves, with the same effect!

Below is the pothos of plant friend @Clouds and Light Breeze. After she sprayed it with beer water, the leaves clearly became glossy and the colour turned greener~

Spider plant

Effect: reduces dry tips, sends out shoots like crazy

Beer can promote flower growth. Take ordinary beer that has gone flat, dilute it with water at a ratio of 1:200, and pour it directly into the spider plant pot. It not only makes the spider plant leaves fatter, but also makes it burst with little shoots.

Some plant friends also use the old method, wiping the spider plant leaves with beer water (1:50), which can reduce the dry tip problem and make the leaves wide and green.

Aloe

Effect: leaves grow thicker and thicker, produces many pups

Aloe is very easy to grow, but fattening it up and getting it to burst with pups is not easy. How can you do it without fertiliser? Mix flat beer with water at 1:200, pour it into the aloe pot, once a month is enough.

Below is a plant friend's aloe, which "drinks" beer all year round. Not only did it grow plump and bloom, it also burst out a bunch of little pups. So enviable~

Clivia

Effect: forces blooming, prevents flower stalk from getting stuck

Some plant friends complain that clivia does not bloom easily and always gets its flower stalk stuck. That is easy to fix. Just water it with beer water (1:50), once a week, and it will surely bloom without the stalk getting stuck.

Plant friend @A Curry's clivia, watered with beer water, had 4 pots bloom together, and the stuck-stalk problem improved a lot too!

Monstera

Effect: leaves green and plump

Monstera is usually grown indoors, and its leaves tend to fade in colour, thin out and droop. Mix flat beer with clean water at 1:10. First wipe the leaves with the beer water, then after wiping pour it into the flower pot. Watering once a month is enough.

The picture below shows a plant friend's monstera. Having its leaves wiped with beer water often, the leaves are even bigger than wild ones, a real giant~

Evergreen

Effect: removes dust and adds shine, leaves fat and stems strong

Evergreen likes to be clean, so you need to wipe its leaves often. Spray flat beer water (1:50) on the leaves, then gently dry them with a small towel, and the evergreen leaves will become glossy green and full of energy.

Below is the result after a plant friend used beer water. The evergreen leaves turned dark green, more effective than fertiliser!
