Can orchids be watered with rice water, baby bottle rinse water or tea water?
Can you use rice water, baby bottle rinse water or tea water to water orchids?
Is tea water suitable for watering orchids? This article answers your question below:
(1) Tea water is alkaline, and applying it will cause the growing medium to become alkaline, which is extremely harmful to the growth and development of orchids, so tea water is generally not used to water orchids.
(2) Rice water and baby bottle rinse water are a kind of organic matter; if applied immediately without fermentation, they will ferment in the container and generate heat that burns the plant's root system.
(3) For organic fertilizers that easily give off a foul odor, using them to grow flowers on balconies and indoors is extremely unhygienic and extremely uncivilized.
