Which plants like alcohol? A rundown of flowers that can be well grown with alcohol

Many people have a few drinks when they are in a good mood, but it turns out that it is not only people who love to drink - flowers do too? This claim sounds a little abrupt, but it is not without reason, because in addition to relying on light, water, soil and temperature, plant growth also depends heavily on nutrients. Among these, beer in the soil can break down into the trace elements plants need, such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, so in the plant world there really are some "drunkards" that especially love to drink. Below are several plants that enjoy a few sips.

Anthurium

Gardeners who have grown anthuriums have surely experienced the situation where the anthurium cannot open its flowers. If something similar happens, you can let the anthurium drink some beer, but one thing to note here is that you must not pour it on directly - it must be diluted with clean water to a certain extent before being poured on, otherwise the concentration will be too high and the effect will be the opposite of what is wanted. The principle behind using beer to make it flower is that the yeast and sugar in beer can be obtained by the anthurium as an extra, so besides promoting flowering, it can also help eliminate pests.

Clivia

There is a saying, "risk your life to keep a gentleman company", and perhaps it is also fitting for the beer-loving Clivia. Want its leaves to turn glossy green? Then wipe the alcohol on the leaves of the Clivia to improve their shine and cleanliness. Want its flowers to be even more vivid? Then you can use beer as a nutrient and water it at the roots, which can make the plant more vigorous. However, note that no matter which method of wiping or root watering is used, it must be diluted with water to a certain degree, otherwise it will harm the plant instead.

Pothos

There is a folk saying that pothos loves beer the most. Whether grown in water or in a pot, just add a few drops of beer to the water and it will look brand new. But note that after each beer feeding, water-cultured pothos needs to be watered every two or three days. In addition, potted pothos also needs to be used after dilution, and must not be given in excess, because the sugar in beer may make the soil too moist and thereby trigger fungal diseases.
