The correct way to water flowers with beer and the precautions for use

Some gardening friends, once they have reached a certain level of skill in watering flowers, will realize that water should not be the only thing used to water flowers, right? That's right. In this issue, Shuashuai is going to talk about the method of watering flowers with beer. Are you surprised to see this? Of course, using beer to water flowers requires technique, and you cannot just pour it on casually. Below, Shuashuai will explain how to do it~

Some people may still not quite understand the principle behind this. In fact, beer is also called liquid bread, and it can be used to water flowers that prefer an acidic growing environment. Beer contains a large amount of carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide is exactly the substance plants need for metabolism, just like the oxygen people breathe every day. In addition, it also contains sugars, proteins, amino acids and other nutrients beneficial to flower growth. How exactly are the specific steps done? No rush, let's keep reading.

1. How to water flowers with beer

Beer cannot be used directly to water flowers. It needs to be mixed with water in a certain ratio before it can be used. If it is poured directly without dilution, everyone surely understands what the consequences will be~

1. Watering flowers

Mix beer and water evenly in a 1:50 ratio, then water the flowers. If the amount used is appropriate, it can make the flowers grow more vigorously! Not only do they grow faster, they also absorb it faster.

2. Spraying the leaves

Mix water and beer evenly in a 1:10 ratio, then spray it on the leaf surfaces.

3. Wiping the leaves with beer

This method can be used for foliage plants. Dip a clean cloth in beer and wipe the leaves. The leaves can directly absorb the sugars and other nutrients in the beer, which can make the leaves more lush and more glossy.

4. For cut flowers

Pour 1/10 beer into the vase holding cut flowers to make the cut flowers more brightly and beautifully colored.

2. Flowers suitable for watering with beer

Because the pH of beer is acidic, and because most plants prefer an acidic growing environment, ordinary flowers and trees can generally be watered with beer, such as orchid grass, pothos, Brazilian ironwood, Monstera deliciosa, clivia, Dieffenbachia and other foliage flowers. The wiping method described above can be used to let the leaves absorb it.

The above is the principle of watering flowers with beer and the specific steps of the method. After reading this article, do you feel greatly enlightened? In fact, when Shuashuai was writing this article, I also wrote the whole thing in a state of astonishment~ Clever readers, did you learn it? Hurry up and give it a try. Absolutely do not water directly; you must dilute it according to the above steps before watering the flowers!!! I hope all gardening friends can use beer to grow the most beautiful flowers!
