As balcony flowers and potted plants multiply, many gardening enthusiasts try using common household items as fertilizer, pouring them onto plants, such as watering flowers with leftover tea, which can both maintain soil moisture and add nutrients like nitrogen to the plants. But you should judge according to the moisture level of the pot, watering regularly and in moderation, rather than pouring leftover tea whenever you like. The 3 kinds of water below can be used to water flowers and are even better than rice-washing water. Let's take a look!

Use 3 kinds of water to water your flowers, and even the hardest-to-grow flowers at home will "burst the pot", 10 times better than rice-washing water!

The first kind:Vermicompost water for growing flowers

Vermicompost is the soil in which earthworms live. Because of the earthworms, the soil often contains very high nutrients, making it a rare and valuable fertilizer for growing flowers, so many people like to use it for their plants. We can mix vermicompost and soil at a 1:1 ratio, or simply place it on the surface of the pot, so that when watering, the vermicompost and soil gradually combine. Jasmine, gardenia, and others can all use it.

When used for growing flowers, you don't need to worry about it burning the roots. For example, clivia and all kinds of orchids can use it, and I often use it to water pothos. I've seen gardening enthusiasts place vermicompost directly on the pot surface, which also works; when watering, the vermicompost slowly mixes with the potting soil. Simply put, vermicompost is flexible to use, as long as it's mixed into the potting soil. Finally, let's talk about how to obtain vermicompost. Besides buying it, we can also collect it ourselves. Collecting vermicompost is also very convenient; it's easy to find in forests, by ponds, ditches, and lakesides.

The second kind: soybean water for growing flowers

Soak an appropriate amount of soybeans in warm water in a basin for about three hours, until the skins wrinkle, then put them in a clean pot without any grease or fishy smell, add water, bring to a boil over high heat, and cook until the soybeans can be crushed with your fingers. After crushing the soybeans in the pot with a spoon, find a large-mouthed bottle with a lid and pour them in together with the water, then put on the lid. Because the contents of the bottle need to ferment, don't fill it too full; filling it to 90% is enough. Otherwise, after fermentation the fertilizer water will overflow and dirty the ground, which is very hard to clean up.

Put the sealed bottle in a cool place and let it sit. After about a few days you'll see the beans in the bottle turn lighter and whitish. Don't worry about it, just let it continue fermenting, and after about a month it's basically ready. However, this process depends on the ambient temperature: when the temperature is high, ten-odd days is enough; when the temperature is cool, it takes relatively longer. When applying the fermented soybean fertilizer water, it should be properly diluted; the soybean residue can be applied to the roots by shallow burying. Jasmine, gardenia, Chinese rose, vinca, and pelargonium can all use it.

The third kind: beer for watering flowers

Beer has a good effect on growing flowers because beer contains a large amount of carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide is an indispensable substance for the metabolism of various plants and flowers. Moreover, beer contains nutrients such as sugar, protein, amino acids, and phosphate, which are beneficial to flower growth.
