What should you do if your plants grow slowly? Pour a little of this into the pot and it works better than anything else
Friends who love growing flowers must know about rooting water and rooting powder. Both of these are meant to help plants grow roots faster so they can take root and get established. So everyone must also be familiar with the medicine aspirin.
Aspirin is a painkiller, often used to treat discomfort in our bodies, but after growing flowers for a long time, Huahua actually learned that aspirin can also be used to water flowers, and the effect is quite good. So today Huahua wants to tell everyone, what exactly are the benefits of watering flowers with aspirin?
1. It can speed up plant growth
This is why many people use aspirin to water flowers instead of rooting powder and rooting water. Compared with the rooting powder sold on the market, aspirin works better. It can not only speed up rooting, but also make the whole plant grow faster.
2. It suppresses fungal diseases in plants
Many plants inevitably encounter pests and diseases during their growth period. Fusarium wilt and verticillium wilt are two very powerful pathogens, and they can often damage an entire patch of land in less than a week. The medicinal ingredients in aspirin have a very good effect on suppressing this kind of fungus. When we normally grow crops or flowers and plants, we can crush aspirin, dilute it with purified water, and spray it on the soil. The effect is very useful, and everyone can give it a try.
3. It improves the survival rate of plants
In spring and autumn, everyone often tries some cutting and grafting procedures. When taking cuttings, everyone usually chooses to dip the base of the cutting branch in some rooting powder to speed up the rooting of the branch. Today Huahua will also tell everyone a method, using the aspirin we introduced today. Take one aspirin tablet and dissolve and dilute it with purified water, then soak the branch to be cuttings in the aspirin solution for several hours. After the branch is planted in the soil, it will root and sprout better.
4. It keeps fresh flowers fresh
After we receive beautiful flowers, we choose to put them in a container filled with water in order to keep the fresh flowers fresh and alive longer. Huahua tells everyone that adding one aspirin tablet to clean water will work even better. Aspirin contains an ingredient called salicylic acid, and it is exactly this ingredient that can make fungi afraid and also provide fresh flowers with the effect of extending their life.
Although aspirin is good, be sure to pay attention to the dosage. To dissolve one aspirin tablet, you need one liter of purified water. The reason tap water is not used is that the substances contained in tap water are too complex, and the effect will not be ideal. Moreover, not all plants are suitable for watering with aspirin, but it has a better effect on the Solanaceae family. In addition, when watering flowers, also pay attention: do not water with aspirin solution during the flowering period.
