Pouring beer on clivia can promote flowering; for edible fungi, fertilizing requires mastering the method

Folk legend has it that pouring beer on flowers can promote flowering, especially on clivia during the arrow-shooting stage, where pouring beer can prevent the arrow from getting stuck. Many flower enthusiasts have tried pouring beer on clivia, and they have also given their answers. Although it has not been scientifically verified, it is still worth a try. Let us first look at some cases:

Flower enthusiast A: Kept a pot of clivia that had never bloomed. One day last year, he poured half a small cup of leftover beer into the flowerpot. Unexpectedly, not long after, the clivia slowly began to form buds, and soon it bloomed. Although the flowers were neither many nor large, it was the first time it had bloomed after so many years of cultivation.

In the spring of the following year, Mr. Jia looked at his beloved clivia and wondered whether it could bloom again this year. So he poured another small cup of beer, and the clivia really bloomed again. The next day he continued to pour another small cup of beer, and the flowers turned out large and beautiful.

Flower enthusiast B: I once tried a method: when clivia gets stuck at the arrow stage, pour in beer to encourage the flower arrow to shoot out. I tried it, and it really worked, but you need to discover it early and use it early; if you use it too late, the effect is reduced. I also used to dilute beer and water at a 1:50 ratio as instructed in books and pour it on flowers, but I did not notice anything particularly obvious, so I stopped using it.

Analysis:

Beer contains a large amount of carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide is an indispensable substance for the metabolism of various flowers. Beer also contains nutrients that are beneficial to flower growth.

Other knowledge about using beer to grow flowers

Pouring on flowers

Pouring an appropriate amount of beer on flowers can make them grow vigorously, with green leaves and bright blooms. The specific method is to mix water and beer evenly at a 1:50 ratio before use.

Spraying leaves

Mix water and beer evenly at a 1:10 ratio, then spray the leaves; this can also achieve the effect of foliar feeding.

Wiping leaves

For foliage plants, use absorbent cotton or a clean soft cloth dipped in beer to gently wipe the leaves. Because the leaves can directly absorb nutrients, the leaves of the flowers become even more emerald green.

For cut flowers

Pour 1/10 beer into a vase to make cut flowers more radiant and extend their ornamental time by several days.
