Many people have the habit of drinking tea, but most people have unfinished tea water, and think it is a waste to throw it away, so they think of using tea water to water the flowers. In fact, tea water can maintain soil moisture, and can also supplement nutrients for plants, allowing plant roots to develop and grow rapidly. Can tea water be used to water flowers?Tea water can be used to water flowers, but freshly drunk tea water cannot be used to water flowers directly . Tea water that has just been left overnight is still very clear, and the alkaloids have not been fermented. It cannot supplement the nutrition of flowers, but will affect the absorption of nutrients by flowers. It cannot be used to water flowers, but fermented tea water can be used. The correct way to water flowers with tea water1. Fermentation We must fully ferment tea water before watering flowers. In fact, whether it is tea water, fruit peel water or rice water, it must be fully fermented before watering the flowers. If it is poured directly into the flowerpot, the heat generated during fermentation will seriously damage the roots of the plants. 2. Fermentation method Tea needs to be fermented with rice water and orange peel . After the fermentation is complete, filter the tea residue and add some clean water. Water the flowers every few days. The frequency does not need to be too frequent. Too fast a frequency will corrode the flowers, and too slow a frequency will not achieve the purpose of fertilization. It must be fermented well. 3. Utilization of tea residues We should not waste tea residues. After drying them, mixing them with the soil can make the potting soil more loose and breathable, effectively preventing the roots of plants from rotting. As the tea leaves slowly corrode in the soil, they will turn into natural organic matter, which can increase the number of flowers. This is much better than fertilizer! What flowers and plants should be watered with teaThe water of fermented overnight tea is already acidic, so it cannot be used to water all flowers. However, it can be used to water some flowers that prefer acidity, such as camellia, asparagus fern, etc. These flowers like acidic soil and are suitable for watering with fermented tea. 1. Camellia Camellias can be watered with tea water, because camellias prefer acidic water, and tea water is also acidic, so it is very suitable for the growth of camellias. However, when watering, be careful not to pour tea dregs on the soil of the camellia to avoid breeding bacteria and causing poor growth of the camellia. 2. Asparagus fern Be careful when using tea water to water asparagus fern, and never use fresh tea water. Because asparagus fern is a plant that likes slightly acidic conditions, while fresh tea water is alkaline. Frequent watering with fresh tea water can easily change the soil quality, making it unsuitable for the growth of asparagus fern. |
