Nowadays, more and more people are growing flowers, so naturally more and more little tricks for growing flowers keep appearing, for example this one: using beer and rice water, this kind of special water, to water plants. But some flower lovers who use this kind of water just can't get good results no matter how they water. What is the problem here?

1. Notes on using beer

First, if we want to use beer, we should first get to know this kind of water. Beer is made from growing wheat and alcohol. Beer contains a lot of nutrients, so naturally there must be quite a few benefits to using it to water flowers.

But if you want to use beer well, you still need to pay attention to the correct method of use. When using beer to grow flowers, naturally you cannot just pour it directly on the flowers. If you use beer directly, since beer contains a large amount of alcohol, and this alcohol is difficult for flowers to absorb, it can also easily rot the flowers' root system.

So before using beer, we need to open the bottle cap, then leave it outside to air for a while, letting all the alcohol inside the beer evaporate, and then it can be used to water flowers. Before watering, dilute it at a ratio of 1:1000, then water the flowers directly.

2. Rice water

Rice water contains a lot of nutrients washed out of the rice, so using rice water to water flowers is also very good! Although rice water contains quite a few nutrients, when using it you still need to know the correct method of use.

When using rice water, it also needs to be treated before use. This is because rice water, this kind of water, is an alkaline water. Alkaline water is generally difficult to use for cultivating most flowers. After all, everyone knows that most of the green plants we grow in our lives like acidic environments, so before using it, we need to change its pH value.

Before using rice water, we can place it in a sealed environment, then take it out and expose it to the sun. Of course, the sun exposure also needs to be relatively long, about one month before its alkalinity can be eliminated, that is, it needs to be completely fermented first!

Using rice water or beer to water flowers is actually a pretty good idea, but if you use them directly without doing certain treatments first, it can also easily lead to the death of the flowers.
