Onions and garlic can also be used to grow flowers, with many clever uses for balcony planting, well worth saving

Usually, many friends always give their plants this or that kind of fertilizer when growing flowers. Commonly used ones include yogurt, beer, and some expired pills are also fine. In fact, the onions and garlic we commonly use in cooking are also wonderful things for growing flowers. Today, the editor will tell everyone how we use onions and garlic to grow flowers.

The clever uses of onions

Speaking of onions, many friends have grown them on the balcony, but mainly to save trouble for their own meals. If we use onion juice to water flowers, the effect is excellent. So how do we do it? First, we need to chop the onions and put them in water, then add a little vinegar and soak them. Just leave them for one night. The next day, we take a little out, dilute it with water, and then we can use it to water the flowers.

After spraying with onion water, the color of the flowers will be very clear and translucent, but it cannot be sprayed in excess. Once every half a month is enough, otherwise the flowers will have too strong a smell, which affects our enjoyment. Besides watering flowers, the effect on treating pests is also very good. We apply onion water directly to the affected area, and it can effectively kill the pests.

The clever uses of garlic

Many friends know that garlic has many benefits for our bodies, and it is often eaten as a seasoning in daily life. Likewise, the trace elements in garlic are also loved by plants and flowers. Using garlic to care for flowers and plants also has a very good effect.

We mash the garlic into garlic paste, dilute it with water, and then we can directly apply it to the roots and stems of the plants, and then plant them. This can make the plants sprout earlier. Secondly, for some pruned or cuttings of plants and flowers, garlic can also effectively prevent wounds from being affected by diseases, because garlic has a rather special smell that can make some pests avoid it on their own. You only need to apply it to the cut area.

Similarly, garlic also has the effect of removing dust. Dilute garlic with water, then use it to water flowers, and it can also make the flowers and leaves brighter and more beautiful. Garlic water has a very good insect-repelling effect. We mash the garlic, soak and dilute it in water, then spray the pest-affected areas, or directly pour it into the soil.

Having said so much, does everyone know the benefits of these vegetables? Not only onions and garlic, but also chili peppers, coffee grounds, orange peels, and so on, all have very good effects. For example, chili pepper water can effectively prevent the effects of pests, and coffee grounds can be placed at the bottom of flower pots as base fertilizer.

Orange peels can help the soil adjust its pH. For some plants that like acidic soil, you can add some. Seeing this, don't you feel that you have thrown away all these ordinary things? This is simply wasting a fortune.
