Pour a little of this on your potted flowers, and no matter how hot it gets, the soil won't harden; it stays loose and nourishes the roots.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and potted flowers have a hard time escaping the summer sun, which can lead to some small problems, causing root scorch, yellowing leaves, drying up or flower drop, and the flowers may fail to bloom. Ultimately, it all comes down to the roots not being well cared for, so be sure to remember that to grow flowers you must first grow roots, and growing roots starts with the soil. Flower lovers need to know these little tips.

1. Loosen the soil often

The soil in the flowerpot hardens because of the high temperature, which makes it poor and barren. You can loosen the soil for the flowers, then water in the early morning or toward evening to keep the soil moist; water whenever the soil hardens or cracks. But do not water at noon, or the soil will cause root rot.

2. Water with fermented rice water

Put the rice water into a mineral water bottle, do not screw the cap on too tightly, then place the bottle in the sun, and it will finish fermenting in about a week. Dilute it with water to water the flowers, turning the shrunken potting soil into loose, airy soil. Rice water contains plenty of phosphorus and potassium, which is very good for plant growth.

If flower lovers find the smell of fermented rice water unpleasant, they can add two or three pieces of orange peel to the fermenting rice water, then use the fermented rice water to water the flowers, improving the hardened soil and making the soil more fertile and loose, suitable for the growth of flowers and plants, with no need to repot. Hope this helps flower lovers.
