There is a universal water for growing flowers; whatever you grow at home will easily grow so vigorously it bursts the pot

As the saying goes, it takes three years of skill to water flowers well, and only by learning to water your flowers properly is it the first step to growing them well. Today I want to share with you some common household waters for watering flowers that work very well, and can truly be called universal water for watering flowers.

1. Fish tank water

Fish tank water is neutral to slightly acidic, can prevent soil from becoming alkaline, and can also reduce yellowing and scorching of leaves. It is very suitable for acid-loving flowers and plants such as pothos, pennywort, jasmine, gardenia, and camellia. The water in the tank contains fish droppings and some leftover fish food, is rich in nutrients, and can provide flowers and plants with plenty of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizer.

It is best not to use fish tank water directly to water flowers; it is best to let it sit for a while before using it. Fish tank water contains a certain amount of fertilizer and is fairly rich in nutrients itself, so after using it to water flowers, do not fertilize again, especially for vigorously growing plants. If disinfectants, bactericides, or salt have been added to the fish tank, do not use it to water flowers.

2. Rainwater

Rainwater contains many minerals. During thunderstorms, it can also condense nitrogen from the air into the rain, supplementing plants with nitrogen fertilizer. Rainwater is weakly acidic and can help regulate soil pH and prevent soil compaction, so you can collect some rainwater on rainy days to use.

3. Egg-boiling water

Eggs themselves are fairly rich in nutrients, and during the process of boiling eggs some nutrients naturally remain, such as minerals. Using it to water flowers can make flowers and plants flourish with lush branches and leaves, vivid flower colors, and a long flowering period. After the water cools, it can be used directly to water flowers or sprayed onto the leaf surfaces.

4. Rice-rinsing water

Rice-rinsing water is rich in nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. After fermentation, rice-rinsing water is weakly acidic, can prevent soil from becoming alkaline and compacted, and is very suitable for acid-loving flowers such as jasmine, gardenia, and osmanthus. Rice-rinsing water needs to be fully fermented before it can be used to water flowers. The method is also very simple: just put the rice-rinsing water into a plastic bottle, add a little orange peel to remove the odor, and generally it will be completely fermented in one to two months.
