What kind of water is best for watering Kalanchoe? Can I use rice water?

1. What kind of water is best for watering?

When caring for it, you need to pay attention to watering. When choosing water quality, it is best to use rice water, which can increase the acidity of the soil and supplement the nutrients needed by the plants.

You can also use tap water after sedimentation, which is also very effective. Water directly from the water pipe cannot be used because it contains a large amount of chlorine, which will affect the plants. You can collect tap water in a container and let it sit for a few days to allow the harmful substances in it to settle down and the chlorine to evaporate. This will also keep the water temperature at a similar temperature to room temperature, not too cold or too hot, before pouring.

2. Can I use the water from washing rice to irrigate the water?

It can be watered with water used to wash rice, because it contains a lot of beneficial elements that are good for the plants. But it cannot be used directly, as it may easily burn the roots. It needs to be placed in a transparent bottle and placed in the sun to dry and settle. After waiting for about 20 days, it can be diluted with 4 times the amount of water.
