Don't throw away these kinds of water. They are great for watering flowers. Plants grow new leaves and bloom, with growth that is a joy to see.

For friends who love growing flowers, everyone knows that whether plants grow well and thrive depends on fertilizing. If you can't find fertilizer for your potted plants,the rice-washing water at home, the water from boiling soybeans, the water from keeping fish, and expired milk can also be used as fertilizer. Plants grow vigorously, send out many tender leaves, and bloom abundantly!
The water from boiling soybeans at home, and the water from soaking mung beans, should not be poured away either. After dilution, use it to water flowers; it is rich in nitrogen fertilizer.
In particular, after soybeans are cooked, they can serve as the best organic fertilizer for potted plants. If you have expired soybeans at home, add water and boil for more than two hours, until the soybeans crumble at a pinch, then put them together with the soybean water into an empty oil jug, add some water, put the lid on, and after a month, you can use this water diluted to water flowers.
The plants grow lush with branches and leaves. Especially when used to grow snake plants (Sansevieria), put some around the edge of the pot, and many pups sprout.
Expired milk can also be used as fertilizer, but if you pour milk directly into the flowerpot, not only will it fail to become fertilizer, it will actually have the opposite effect, because it will solidify and form a skin in the pot, and if too much is poured, it will burn the roots and yellow the leaves, cause an odor on the soil surface, and breed small insects, and so on.
The correct way is to put expired milk or the okara left after making soy milk into a drink bottle or empty oil jug, put the lid on, place it in a warm, sunny spot, ferment for about a month, then dilute with water before watering flowers. Milk is rich in phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which can promote more blooming in plants. Watering flowers this way also has no smell, is easily absorbed by the plant's roots, and will not burn the roots.
One flower grower used this milk diluted with water to water pothos (Epipremnum aureum), and the pothos kept sending out tender leaves, growing fatter and fatter.
Rice-washing water can also be made into fertilizer this way. Just put it directly into a drink bottle, ferment for a month, and then use it to water flowers; it works very well.
It is especially suitable for some woody flowering plants and herbaceous flowering plants. They grow many new leaves and send out many flower buds.
If you keep goldfish at home, don't pour away the fish tank water from regular water changes. You can use it directly to water spider plants (Chlorophytum comosum), gardenias (Gardenia jasminoides) and other plants. It is very good, both eco-friendly and hygienic and convenient.
