Using garlic to grow flowers: fast growth, no root rot, plus pest control and sprouting boost

Temperatures are slowly rising, and plants are racing to sprout and grow rapidly, preparing to bloom. To help the plants absorb nutrients, people keep fertilizing, thinking that fertilizer alone can promote plant growth: water every three days, fertilize every two days. But this kind of over-fertilizing cannot promote plant growth, so what should be done? Today Huahua will tell everyone: actually there is no need for all that trouble. Just one clove of garlic can extend your plants' flowering period and make them grow nonstop.

Garlic still survives at minus five degrees, and growing it is very simple: with soil, water and sunlight it will live, and one clove of garlic can grow into a whole pot. And most importantly, garlic can be used as flower fertilizer, with much better results than flower fertilizer, and the effect is very obvious. There is one more thing other flower fertilizers do not have: garlic can kill pests. Save your own seeds and use them yourself, convenient and economical.

Peel off the outer skin of the garlic, mash it, pour in 5 times the amount of water, stir thoroughly, and after stirring evenly, leave it on the balcony to sit for two hours. After two hours, filter it through a strainer. The filtered garlic residue can be put into a fresh-keeping box for next time, and the remaining garlic water can be used to kill pests. When pests appear on plant leaves, you can use a brush or toothbrush to dip directly in the water and apply it to the leaves, and it can effectively kill pests in a short time, especially powdery mildew on roses and black spot on leaves

As for the amount of garlic used, five or six cloves will do. Garlic also has a very powerful sterilizing function, and can disinfect and preserve plant roots. For common lily bulbs, before planting you can soak the lily bulbs in water mixed with garlic, which can effectively disinfect the bulb roots, prevent rot and promote rooting.

Woody plants are fine too. If a happiness tree is watered too much, its roots will rot. For accounting plum (redbud) and all woody plants, when dryness and rot occur, you can cut off the rotten part. When cutting, do not be reluctant to cut; it is best to cut to the xylem, otherwise bacteria are easily retained and rot will continue. Rinse with clean water, and after rinsing, you can spread mashed garlic evenly over the cut wound, which can effectively preserve it and prevent continued rotting.

Garlic can also promote plant sprouting. Whether seeds or new branches about to sprout, garlic can effectively promote sprouting. When sowing seeds, you can spray a layer of water that garlic has been soaked in, which can quickly increase the seed germination rate. For newly sprouting branches, you can apply garlic water to the new buds, which can also increase the growth of new buds. The garlic residue left after soaking can be buried in the soil, and after a period of time, once decomposed, it becomes excellent fertilizer.
