Water roses with fish tank water, and the whole pot bursts with thick white roots

On fertilizing with fish tank water: the suitable species include roses, kalanchoe, gardenia, sunflower, dahlia, hyacinth and other heavy-feeding plants. Everyone knows about watering flowers with rice water, but you surely don't know that fish-washing water can also be used to water flowers. It is most suitable for heavy-feeding plants like roses and gardenias. After letting the water used to wash fish sit for a day, it can be poured directly on garden roses; if you grow potted roses at home, the fish-washing water must be diluted with water, and it should not be used when summer temperatures are high.

Fish tank water contains some nutrients. Because the nutrient concentration is extremely low, even though it has not been fully decomposed, it will not cause root burn. The nutrient content in fish-washing water is much higher. If it is applied without being fully decomposed, the decomposition and fermentation process in the potting soil will produce a large amount of heat, and there is a risk of root burn, so it needs to sit for a day. So whether raw fertilizer burns roots depends on the amount of nutrients: high nutrients easily burn roots, extremely low nutrients do not burn roots. Fish tank water belongs to the low-nutrient category of fertilizer.

Watering flowers with the old water changed out of the fish tank is a good measure that both saves water and adds fertility to the soil. This is because the residual chlorine in the old water has already evaporated and will not harm the flowers, and at the same time the fish waste in it can be converted into organic fertilizer for the plants. After the water is changed out of the fish tank, if you water the flowers directly with it, be careful that the water temperature does not differ too much from the temperature of the soil in the flowerpot; it is best to store it beside the flowerpot for later use.

Pay attention to filtering. If aquatic plants are grown in the fish tank, snails often appear. When you take water from the tank to water flowers, the snails will unknowingly be carried into the flowerpot, grow quickly in the soil and multiply in large numbers, and can harm some plants. Growing aquatic plants in a fish tank often involves fertilizing, especially in a landscaped ornamental fish tank full of aquatic plants, where more fertilizer is applied. If such water is used to water flowers, at the beginning you should carefully observe the growth of the plants and appropriately reduce your usual fertilizing, so as to avoid causing the plants to grow excessively.

Now let's talk about roses. When do rose flowers bloom? Generally from May to November, but if the climate is mild, some varieties can be seen flowering all year round. However, the first flush of flowers each year from April to May is the most abundant. Autumn is a great time for softwood cuttings of roses. At present, cuttings are still the main method of propagating roses. It can not only preserve the excellent characteristics of fine rose varieties, but also has a high propagation coefficient, a short production cycle, low investment and quick results, so it is still adopted by flower growers everywhere.

In addition, baijiu can promote flowering and is suitable for clivia. Many people like to keep a pot of clivia, but when they buy it, it is in full bloom, yet after the flowers fade it becomes a stunted plant. You might as well try baijiu to promote flowering. Use baijiu, whether high-proof or low-proof. Pour a small cup of baijiu along the edge of the clivia pot. Watering the clivia with baijiu twice a week is very effective, but it should still be used with caution on other plants.
