III. Flower-growing knowledge——watering tips
★Watering tip one: watering flowers with rice-washing water
For people who do not grow flowers, rice-washing water is of no use at all and is simply poured down the drain, but they do not know the benefits of watering flowers with rice-washing water. Regularly watering flowers such as Milan with rice-washing water can make their branches and leaves lush and their flowers brightly colored. This flower-growing tip is also the simplest and easiest to do.
★Watering tip two: watering flowers with warm water
In winter, for some flowers with poor cold resistance, it is best to use warm water at 35°C to water them; secondly, in winter, use water kept at room temperature to water them, thus avoiding freezing the roots of these flowers.
★Watering tip three: watering flowers with cooled boiled water
This method is also a relatively commonly used flower-growing tip. In daily life we are always habitually pouring cooled boiled water into the flowerpot. This can make flowers and trees leafy and the flowers bright, and can promote early blooming. If used to water asparagus fern, it can make its branches and leaves grow horizontally, and become short and dense. Although doing this is good, it must not be done in excess.
★Watering tip four: watering flowers with spoiled milk
After milk spoils, add water and use it to water flowers; it is beneficial to the growth of the flowers. But use more water so that it is fairly diluted before use. Unfermented milk is not suitable for watering flowers, because when it ferments it produces a large amount of heat, which will "burn" the roots (root rot). This flower-growing tip is also a less commonly used watering method.
★Watering tip five: watering flowers with leftover tea
Tea contains a variety of chemical substances. Using leftover tea to water flowers can add nutrients such as nitrogen to the plants, and can also maintain the moisture of the soil. However, this flower-growing tip can only be done in appropriate amounts and at regular intervals, and cannot be done arbitrarily.
★Watering tip six: long-term watering method with a plastic bag
Everyone may find this name very strange. Indeed, not only is the name of this method strange, even the method itself is incredible. It is suitable for use when no one is at home for a long time, such as when on a business trip or visiting relatives, gone for ten days to half a month. In order not to let the flowers wither and die, this flower-growing tip method is shared with everyone here. Find a plastic bag, fill it with water and then tie the opening tightly to prevent water from spilling out, then use a fine needle to prick a small hole in the plastic bag, and place the pricked hole facing downward into the flowerpot, letting the water slowly seep into the soil through the small hole to keep the soil moist. Be sure not to make the hole too big, otherwise the consequences are self-evident.
