0071. Give flowers a few expired pills and they'll be like they've had a stimulant - the blooms just keep coming!

Fellow gardeners often run into problems like potted plants growing poorly, getting sick, or getting infested with bugs. If your flowers aren't growing well, something must be wrong. Actually, we can use some expired medicines to solve these problems.

When Lanyao used to grow petunias, she often ran into calcium deficiency in petunias, so she diluted the leftover calcium gluconate from her child with water and sprayed it on the petunias. Within two days, she found the petunia leaves had turned green again.

Actually, besides calcium gluconate, there are many medicines that can be used to grow flowers.

1. Vitamin C

After diluting vitamin C in water, use it to water acid-loving flowers, such as gardenia, camellia, and Aglaia odorata. It can reduce the occurrence of yellow leaves. At the same time, VC is an antioxidant and can extend the flowering period.

2. Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 can improve the resistance of a plant's root system. If you want a potted plant to grow well, you first need to grow the roots well. Crush vitamin B12 and bury it shallowly in a ring around the flower pot. It can help strengthen the roots.

In addition, watering flowers with a vitamin B12 solution can also drive away bugs.

3. Aspirin

I believe many people have heard of watering flowers with aspirin. Diluting aspirin in water and watering flowers can sterilize and promote plant growth. It can also enhance a plant's immunity and strengthen its resistance to pests and diseases.

4. Daktarin

Daktarin ointment - when it comes to this, many flower lovers may not know how to use it to grow flowers. Daktarin is an antifungal ointment that we commonly use to treat athlete's foot and skin diseases.

Plants can also get skin diseases, such as leaf spot and root rot.

When you find disease spots on plant leaves, you can apply Daktarin ointment. Of course, this can only be used when there are a small number of disease spots.

In addition, some flowers are prone to root rot, such as orchids. In that case, you can apply Daktarin ointment to the rotting area for treatment. Generally, mild cases of root rot can be cured.
