Clever uses of vinegar in flower production

1. When growing flowers, mixing an appropriate amount of edible vinegar into the water when watering the potting soil can promote the absorption of trace elements such as phosphorus and iron, and prevent yellowing of leaves and branches.

2. Spraying leaves and flower buds with about 40% vinegar solution can increase the accumulation of photosynthetic products, making flowers larger, leaves greener, and flowers more vivid.

3. Potted flowers that have been fertilized with organic fertilizer give off a fishy odor when placed indoors. Pouring an appropriate amount of vinegar solution can eliminate the odor,

and also sterilize and disinfect the soil.

4. Wiping flowers and leaves with a cotton ball dipped in some edible vinegar can make scale insects, red spiders, aphids and others restless, then sweep them off and destroy them.

5. If phytotoxicity occurs from spraying alkaline agents (lime sulfur mixture, Tuijunte, thiram, etc.), spraying an appropriate amount of vinegar solution on the branches and leaves can reduce the phytotoxicity.

6. When preparing or applying alkaline agents, washing hands and rinsing utensils with vinegar water can remove residual chemicals and serve as disinfection.
