Cactus likes moisture and needs to be provided with sufficient water to grow fast. During its growth period, you can water it a little every day or every other day. In addition, you can also use regular spraying on the leaves instead, so as to ensure that the leaves are always moist. Can cactus be watered with rice water?Rice water can be used to water cacti. Many flower lovers like to use diluted rice water to water cacti at home. But please note that cacti like to grow in soil with a pH of about 6-7. Rice water is acidic, with a pH of about 5.5-6. If you use rice water to water the cactus, you must first ferment and dilute it. Therefore, you cannot use rice water directly to water the cactus, as this will change the pH value of the soil, violate its growth habits, and eventually cause necrosis. How to water cactus with rice waterThe first step is to ferment the rice water before watering the flowers. We can first put the rice water in a large beverage bottle, cover it with a lid, and place it in a sunny place. Step 2 : It will take about two weeks, or shorter in summer, about ten days. After two weeks or ten days, check if there is any sediment in the rice water in the plastic bottle. If not, the fermentation is complete. The third step is to add water after fermentation. The mixing ratio of rice water and clean water is about 2 to 8. When watering, be careful not to water the leaves, just water the soil along the edge of the pot. The role of rice water in watering flowersBecause rice washing water washes away the nutrients on the rice skin, it can be used to water plants with good results. Some nutrients such as starch, protein, and vitamins are dissolved in rice washing water. Using rice washing water to water flowers and trees can make the leaves of flowers and trees green and the stems strong, and the colors of the flowers particularly bright. |
