Use these 3 kinds of water to water flowers in autumn: no root rot, no yellow leaves, and vigorous growth
Fermented soybean water is rich in nutrients
1. How to make it
The method for making fermented soybean water is very easy. First soak the soybeans for two hours, then after cooking them, put them in a plastic bottle. Fill the bottle to 80% with water. Do not screw the cap on too tightly - leave a small gap. Put it in the sun to bake for half a month and it is ready.
Huahua suggests that everyone can appropriately put some orange peel in the bottle, which can eliminate some of the odor of the fermented water. Plants like clivia (Clivia miniata) and snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata) absolutely love fermented soybean water~
2. How to use it
Dilute fully fermented soybean water at a ratio of 1:10 and it can be used to water flowers. Huahua uses it once a week, and the leftover soybeans can also continue to be used to grow flowers! Just dig a hole directly in the potting soil, and bury about 7 or 8 soybeans according to the size of the pot, and it can provide the flowers with about one hundred days of nutrients.
3. Precautions
Some flower lovers are more impatient and water their flowers before the soybean water is fully fermented. The soybean water continues to ferment in the soil and produces a large amount of heat, which easily burns the plants, causing leaves to turn yellow and fall off - putting the cart before the horse instead!
Huahua thinks that if you want to grow flowers well, you still need to be a bit more patient!
Decomposed rice water is highly valuable
1. How to make it
Compared with soybean water, rice water is not only lower in cost to make, but also easier.
Huahua has long known that rice water has many wonderful uses. Collect the rice water from everyday rice washing, pour it into a plastic bottle to about 80% full (do not screw the cap on tightly - leave a gap), then bake it in the sun for half a month and it will be decomposed.
2. How to use it
After diluting decomposed rice water at a ratio of 1:100, it can be used to water flowers. If you think the smell is too pungent, you can still throw some orange peel in.
3. Precautions
Decomposed rice water is suitable for watering acid-loving flowers, such as jasmine, gardenia, and rhododendron. Rice water that has not been fermented cannot be used to water flowers - be sure to remember this!
Range hood waste oil water is well absorbed
1. Reason for use
The waste oil from range hoods is generally cleaned away by us. But in fact, waste oil contains large amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, making it more suitable than anything for growing flowers! For some foliage plants, such as kalanchoe, pothos, spider plant, and rubber tree, it is a very good nourishing fertilizer.
2. How to use it
Flower lovers only need to dig a small hole in the potting soil, then pour a little waste oil in, cover it with a layer of soil, and then wait for the plant's roots to slowly absorb it.
Of course, you can also pour it in little by little along the edge of the pot. One spoonful can guarantee you no fertilizing for half a year!
3. Precautions
The first time you water flowers with waste oil, do not pour too much. In addition, flower lovers need to note that the waste oil here is household waste oil - never mistakenly use machine oil or gasoline!
Later, just increase the amount as appropriate according to the plant's growth. In addition, when pouring the oil, flower lovers should not let it directly touch the plant's roots!
