Pothos and spider plants are both typical foliage plants, their emerald green and lush leaves are a feast for the eyes, and besides decorating the home, they can also purify the air.

If you keep a spider plant or pothos at home, you need to watch out for two kinds of water that must never be used for watering, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow, and in serious cases the plant will even die!

These are unfermented rice water and soybean water. Although rice water can adjust the acidity and alkalinity of the soil, and soybean water can provide nitrogen for plants, if you water flowers with unfermented rice water, it will release a large amount of heat in the flower pot.

It will also cause root burn. Fermenting it is very simple: just put the rice water into a bottle, seal it well, add a little orange peel to remove the smell, and leave it in the sun for about half a month before it is ready to use.

The second kind is expired milk. Although expired milk contains many nutrients, it also cannot be used directly to water flowers; it needs to be fermented and used just like rice water, otherwise it will also burn.
