Water your succulents with a little beer, and every one of them will grow plump and round, and they won't attract pests

The scorching summer has passed, and you probably still have beer left over, right? The leftover beer is great for watering plants. Beer is rich in organic matter, and in the soil it breaks down into effective components such as humic acid, which provides fertility to the soil.

Many friends may have tried watering plants with beer, but have you ever tried using beer to grow succulents? Beer changes the acidity of the soil, and for succulents that like acidic soil, the effect is really quite good.

Generally, dilute the beer 10 times, and it is best to use the cheapest kind of beer. After diluting, you can pour it directly at the roots. Do not water plants with undiluted beer, and do not use beer to water plants too frequently, as it easily causes nutrient excess. Generally, applying it about once a month is enough.

Beer contains large amounts of carbon dioxide, sugar, protein, amino acids, phosphate and other nutrients, which can provide succulents with the carbon dioxide and various nutrients they need for metabolism. After dilution, beer can also be used as a foliar fertilizer, which can make your succulents grow vigorously. When using it as a foliar fertilizer, the concentration should be weaker, diluted more than ten times.

In addition, beer can also kill mealybugs. If mealybugs appear on your succulents, you can dilute beer five or six times and spray the entire plant. The next day, if the bugs turn reddish-brown and fall off at a touch, it means they are dead. If any are still there, spray once more. Generally, spraying about three times in a row can kill all the mealybugs.
