Rainwater or tap water for watering flowers? After an expert explained, flower lovers realized they had been watering wrong
There is a saying among flower growers: watering is three parts fertilizer and seven parts water. As long as fertilizing and watering are done right, flowers will grow well. Common tips include "water when the soil surface is dry, let it dry between waterings", "water thoroughly", and watering in the morning, but be sure not to water at noon, and master the small tricks of watering. Using rice-washing water or vegetable-washing water to water flowers is quite good. Usually the water used for watering flowers should also be chosen with care, understanding the characteristics of various types of water, to care for the flowers well.
1. Watering flowers with tap water
Most flower lovers use tap water to water flowers, but tap water contains chlorine, so when using it, you can let it sit in the shade or expose it to the sun for 1-2 hours, which allows the chlorine to escape and helps the flowers grow well.
2. Raising flowers with rainwater
Among most types of water used for growing flowers, rainwater is much better than tap water. Rainwater is "rootless water", a sweet rain bestowed by nature, so the water contains many trace elements and also has low impurity content, which is beneficial for plant rooting and sprouting. However, it is not as convenient as tap water, so you can store some when it rains.
3. Raising flowers with pond water
Pond water is the water commonly found in weir ponds or river ponds. Most of this water is "living water". Although it has more impurities, it is rich in nutrients and microorganisms, which can promote the plant roots' absorption of nutrients. You can filter out the impurities before watering the flowers, and the flowers will grow even more beautiful.
Flower lovers now have some understanding of watering flowers with different types of water, right? In daily care, master the correct watering techniques, and pay attention to watering flowers with living water, then water in the morning, and water thoroughly, so the flowers can bloom beautifully!
