Grow roses well by using fish tank water for big white roots filling the pot

On fertilizing with fish tank water: suitable types include roses, kalanchoe, gardenia, sunflowers, dahlias, hyacinths and other fertilizer-loving plants. Everyone knows about watering flowers with rice washing water, but you definitely do not know that fish washing water can also be used to water flowers. It is most suitable for fertilizer-loving plants like roses and gardenias. After letting the water used to wash fish sit for a day, it can be poured directly on roses planted in the ground. If you grow potted roses at home, the fish washing water must be diluted with water, and use should be stopped when summer temperatures are high.

Fish tank water contains some nutrients. Because the nutrient concentration is extremely low, although 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, creating a risk of root burn, so it must be left to sit for a day. Therefore, whether raw fertilizer burns roots is determined by the amount of nutrients: high nutrient content easily burns roots, while extremely low nutrient content does not. Fish tank water belongs to the low-nutrient category of fertilizers.

Watering flowers with the aged water removed from a fish tank is a good measure that both saves water and has a soil-enriching function. This is because the residual chlorine in the aged water has already volatilized 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 removed from the fish tank, when watering flowers directly, pay attention that the water temperature and the temperature of the soil in the flowerpot must not differ too much; 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 breed there. When tank water is taken to water flowers, snails will unknowingly be carried into the flowerpot and quickly grow and multiply in the soil, which can harm some plants. Growing aquatic plants in a fish tank often involves fertilizing, especially in landscaped ornamental fish tanks fully planted with aquatic plants, where more fertilizer is applied. If such water is used to water flowers, at the initial stage you should carefully observe the growth of the plants and appropriately reduce regular fertilizing, so as to avoid causing excessive spindly growth.

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 blooming all year round. However, the first flush of flowers from April to May each year is the most vigorous. Autumn is a great time for softwood cuttings of roses. At present, cuttings are still the main method of propagating roses. They can not only maintain the excellent characteristics of fine rose varieties, but also have a high propagation coefficient, a short production cycle, low input and quick results, and are still used by flower growers everywhere.

In addition, baijiu can promote flowering, and it is suitable for clivia. Many people like to grow a pot of clivia, but when bought it is in full bloom, yet after the flowers fade it becomes a stunted plant. You might as well try baijiu to promote flowering. The liquor must be baijiu, whether high-proof or low-proof does not matter. You can pour a small cup of baijiu along the edge of the clivia pot. Watering clivia with baijiu twice a week is very effective, but it should still be used with caution on other plants.
