Anyone who grows flowers knows that rice water is a good thing, and using it on flowers usually makes them shoot up fast, but some flower lovers find that after using rice water, their flowers actually grow uglier and uglier, with the potting soil caking and leaves turning yellow too. What's going on?

Today Bai Xiaomei'er will explain in detail that rice water should not be used casually, there is still a knack to it, and not all flowers are suitable for watering with rice water. Let's take a look at exactly how rice water should be used!

1. Please be sure not to pour freshly rinsed rice water directly into the flower pot; it is useless and easily causes the potting soil to cake

2. Rice water is slightly acidic, so please do not use rice water to water flowers that like alkaline soil, such as cacti, cactus balls and other varieties, which must never be watered with rice water

Rice water must be fermented and diluted before use.

Rice water fermentation method:

Put it into a large cola bottle, not too full, because gas will be produced during fermentation and too full a bottle may explode. To avoid the fermentation smell, you can put in some orange peel to ferment together, or add some yogurt to speed up fermentation. After capping the bottle, put it in the sun to bake for more than 15 days, and when 2 layers separate, fermentation is basically complete.

How to water flowers with rice water:

It must be diluted. Only after diluting rice water and clean water at a ratio of 1:10 can it be used to water flowers, and using it once every 15-20 days is enough.

Some common flowers more suitable for watering with rice water include: azaleas, gardenias, camellias, Chinese roses, pothos and other flowers that like acidic soil. After using it, you will find that gardenias, jasmine and others have glossy green leaves and bloom especially vigorously, and it can do a very good job of improving the yellowing of plant leaves.

That's all for today's sharing. Flower lovers, be sure to pay attention next time you use rice water on flowers, and be sure to use it after fermentation!
