Using rice water as flower fertilizer has many benefits - which plants is it suitable for watering?

Using rice water as flower fertilizer to water flowers is very good - do you know which plants it is suitable for?

A flower enthusiast asked whether rice water can be used to water snake plants. Is it good?

First, let's talk about the composition of rice water. Rice water is mainly composed of phosphorus and nitrogen, and also contains other trace elements. Using rice water to water flowers is very good, but it is not recommended to use it all the time. If rice water is used to water flowers over a long period, it is not good for their root system. This is because its potassium content is relatively low. You can alternate it with other fertilizers.

When using rice water to water flowers, you must remember that only thoroughly fermented rice water is a fertilizer suitable for growing flowers. If it is used directly without fermentation, it is not good for the flowers and can easily cause the potting soil to become compacted, especially if it is watered too many times. If the potting soil contains a large amount of rice water sediment, it can easily ferment inside the potting soil, and the heat from fermentation will damage the roots - you must remember this. You can collect the whitish, very thick liquid from the first rinse each time you wash rice directly into a bottle, put it in the sun, seal it and sun it for more than a week, and then it is basically ready to use. However, used this way it will have a bad smell. If you want no bad smell, you can ferment it for a few months before using it, and this is the best way.

Snake plants are mainly foliage plants. If you water them with rice water, it is not as good as directly using fertilizer fermented from soybeans. We use fertilizer fermented from oil crops such as soybean cake and soybeans - this is a genuine nitrogen-based fertilizer that can promote the rapid development of its leaves, making them grow large and thick. Rice water is suitable for flowering plants, such as jasmine, gardenia, and kalanchoe. But it also needs to be mixed with other fertilizers, because plant growth requires multiple elements. A deficiency in any one element will cause some harm to the plant. Using rice water to water flowers is a very good fertilizer, but you must know how to use it and which flowers it suits.
