Why should succulents be watered with beer once a month?

Succulents have been a very popular type of potted plant in recent years. Growing succulents requires mastering many techniques. For example, in the cold winter, succulents are in a dormant state and can go a month without watering, while in summer they are watered only once a week.

I heard that some people who grow succulents give them beer once a month. Beer is a drink we humans drink, so why can it be poured on succulents? Next, the editor will explain it to everyone. Actually, using beer to water succulents makes a certain amount of sense. Do you know all about it?

Beer contains carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide is a substance that promotes the metabolism of plants. Beer also contains substances beneficial to plant growth, such as sugar, amino acids, proteins and so on. These are all substances contained in beer, and the organic matter in beer can improve the acidity of the soil.

Succulents like to grow in acidic soil, so it can effectively promote plant growth. In addition, it can also serve as fertilizer to increase soil fertility. Everyone knows that mosquitoes and insects are afraid of alcohol. Mix beer and water at a ratio of 1:10.

The alcohol in beer can effectively prevent mosquitoes and insects from harming succulents. When mosquitoes smell the scent of alcohol, they will stay far away. In addition, the protein in beer can also fertilize succulent leaves. Spray the beer diluted with water onto the succulent leaves, and after a period of time, you can see that the succulent leaves will grow plump and very cute.

But note here: when using beer to water succulents, you must not spray it frequently. Once a month is enough, otherwise the roots can easily rot.
