Teach beginners some tips on easy flower cultivation

In the process of growing flowers, do you often hear and see other people sharing their tips on growing flowers? Some tips are indeed useful and can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Some tips are just made up, not only can't you grow flowers well, but may also cause them to die. Let's talk about 10 tips for growing flowers that test your IQ. Newbies treasure them, but veterans disdain them.

①Sprinkle rice in the flower pot

It is said that if you sprinkle a handful of rice in a flowerpot, the flowers and plants will grow quickly and bloom easily. In fact, flowers and plants are not people or mice, so they cannot directly absorb the rice you sprinkle on them.

On the contrary, rice is an uncomposted organic matter. If you put it in a flower pot, it will get moldy and produce a lot of bacteria and insect pests, which will cause the growth of flowers and plants to deteriorate and pollute the indoor air . If you really want to use rice to grow flowers, you must fully compost the rice before using it, so that it will be effective.

②Use waste oil from kitchen range hoods to grow flowers

Pouring the waste oil from the kitchen range hood into the flower pot will help the flowers and plants grow well, and their leaves will be green and able to drip oil. Have you ever seen such a saying?

The waste oil in the range hood is a large molecular substance that cannot be absorbed by flowers and plants. Only when it is fully decomposed can it become small molecular substances that can be absorbed by flowers and plants .

On the contrary, pouring waste oil into flower pots will breed bacteria and pests, and will also cause the soil to not be watered thoroughly, causing the flowers and plants to lose water and dry out easily.

③Watering flowers with baking soda

Using baking soda water to water flowers will make them less likely to get pests and diseases and grow well? Diluted baking soda water can be used to spray the leaves of flowers and plants, which does have the effect of sterilizing and preventing insects.

However, baking soda water cannot be used to water flowers and plants, because most of the flowers and plants we raise at home prefer acidic soil. Baking soda water is alkaline. After watering, the soil will become alkaline, and the flowers and plants will grow poorly or their leaves will turn yellow and die.

④Bury eggs in the flower pot

Crack an egg into a flowerpot, and the flowers and plants will grow quickly and bloom easily. This little trick for growing flowers is really a scam, and anyone who uses it will regret it. After the egg is cracked into the flowerpot, it will quickly stink, and the smell is super unpleasant.

If you put an egg in the pot of indoor plants, the whole room will stink, and the stench will not dissipate for several days or half a month. Putting an egg in the pot will directly cause the plants to wither and die.

If you want to grow flowers and plants well, use some fertilizer. Not everything can be eaten.

⑤ Potato cuttings and roses

For a while, it was very popular to propagate roses with potato cuttings. It was said that the survival rate could reach 100%. Some flower lovers actually tried it, but the roses did not survive, and a pot of potato seedlings grew out.

There is no scientific basis for using potatoes to propagate rose cuttings. On the contrary, using potatoes to propagate rose cuttings will only cause the cuttings to rot early and fail to take root or sprout .

Therefore, when you are cutting roses or other flowers and plants, don’t use potatoes. It is a waste. Find some river sand or buy some vermiculite, and plant more cuttings at a time. Some of them will survive.

⑥Watering flowers with milk

Milk is a good thing, rich in nutrients. Can watering flowers with milk also promote the growth of flowers and plants? After milk is fully fermented, it does have many benefits when used to water flowers.

But if you use milk to water the flowers directly, you will get bugs and hair. If you use too much milk to water the flowers at one time, or water them directly without diluting the milk, the leaves of the flowers and plants will turn yellow and the whole plant will die.

⑦ Aspirin for flower cultivation

Using aspirin to grow flowers can make their roots lush and their growth good, so some flower lovers bury aspirin in their flowers and plants, and aspirin powder is also sold online.

In fact, aspirin is difficult to dissolve in water. If you bury aspirin directly in a flowerpot, or mix aspirin powder with water and water the flowers and plants, the flowers and plants will not be able to absorb it.

Take a small amount of alcohol to dissolve aspirin, and then water the flowers and plants, so that it can really nourish the roots and leaves. Because aspirin is easily soluble in alcohol, a small amount of alcohol diluted and then watered flowers and plants will not have any side effects.

⑧Sprinkle peppercorns in the flowerpot

Sprinkling a handful of peppercorns in a flowerpot can repel mosquitoes and prevent ants from breeding in the flowerpot?

Sichuan peppercorns do have an insect repellent effect, but if you sprinkle them directly in a flowerpot, they will become moldy and hairy over time, polluting the soil in the pot and affecting the growth of flowers and plants.

The correct way is to take an appropriate amount of peppercorns, soak them, filter them, and use this peppercorn water to water the flowers and plants, which has the effect of preventing insects. Or you can use some peppercorn water to spray the leaves of flowers and plants regularly, which can also prevent insects.

⑨Liquor promotes flowering

If flowers and plants do not bloom, or bloom very little, can you water them with a little white wine and they will bud and bloom all over the pot?

Besides a large amount of water, white wine also contains some alcohol and organic matter. It contains neither phosphorus for flowers and plants to bloom nor potassium for flowers and plants to grow roots. How can it produce flower buds ?

Using undiluted liquor to water flowers and plants can easily cause yellow leaves or the entire plant to die. Even if diluted liquor is used to water weak flowers and plants, there is still a risk of the entire plant dying.

⑩ Milk kills red spiders

If your flowers and plants are infested with red spider mites and you don’t want to use pesticides, then just spray some milk on them. Will the greedy red spider mites die of starvation?

Spraying milk on flowers and plants can indeed kill red spider mites, but it can only kill the adult spiders and cannot kill the larvae. After a few days, the larvae will grow up and continue to eat flowers and plants.

In addition, milk contains sugar. If you spray it on flowers and plants frequently, a lot of dust will stick to the leaves, clogging the stomata, affecting photosynthesis and causing poor growth of flowers and plants.

It is okay to spray flowers and plants with milk once or twice occasionally, but it is absolutely not allowed to use it frequently and in large quantities. It will only do harm and no good.

The above 10 "little tricks" for growing flowers are treasured by novices, but ignored by veterans! After using these little tricks, you should think about whether they make sense and pay attention to the method of use, otherwise the "little tricks" will become "little killer tricks" and ruin the originally good flowers and plants!
