Using rice water for plants stinks and breeds tiny flies - an old gardener teaches you one trick

There is a gardening saying - "Rice water is a treasure, you can't do without it for growing flowers!" Rice water is slightly acidic and can neutralize the alkali in water. At the same time, rice water is rich in phosphorus and can be used as organic fertilizer.

Flower lovers who have used rice water to water plants all know that after fermentation, rice water smells incredibly foul and also breeds tiny flies. Although it is suitable for plant growth, it seriously affects your living environment!

Today I will share one trick to keep fermented rice water from breeding insects and from stinking!

The method is very simple: when fermenting the rice water, add some lemon slices, and once fermentation is complete, the smell will not be so severe.

If you want no tiny flies, you can throw cigarette butts into the rice water, which can achieve the effect of preventing insects.

Finally, a note: rice water is not suitable for all plants. It suits acidic plants, such as azaleas, osmanthus, jasmine, camellias, gardenias, spider plants, and so on!

Interested flower lovers can give it a try!
