Benefits and Precautions of Watering Clivia with Beer

I believe many friends have heard that watering flowers with beer can make them grow better, and this also applies to Clivia. Beer is fermented from wheat and contains sugar, protein, amino acids, phosphate and many other substances, making it a quite good organic fertilizer for flowers. However, there are methods to note when using beer to water flowers, so as not to mean well but do harm. Below is an introduction to the precautions for watering Clivia with beer. 1. Concentration: Watering Clivia with beer that is too concentrated may cause osmosis, leading to dehydration of the Clivia. For example, salt can kill slugs by this principle, so before use, it is best to dilute the beer 30 to 50 times before watering. 2. Method: After diluting the beer, it can be poured directly on the roots of the Clivia, or used to wipe the leaves of the Clivia, because the leaf surface can also absorb it, and it can also wash the leaves by the way. 3. Frequency: For Clivia, watering with beer is equivalent to applying an organic fertilizer once, so the frequency does not need to be too frequent. Once every half a month is about right, and it should be done in spring and autumn. The temperatures in summer and winter are more extreme and not suitable for Clivia growth, so there is no need to fertilize then. The above are the precautions for watering Clivia with beer, and I hope they are helpful to everyone. In addition, when repotting, we can also use beer to mix the substrate soil, making it richer in nutrients so that the Clivia can slowly absorb them, but the concentration should still be noted.
