The correct way to water flowers with eggs What are the benefits of watering flowers

Eggs are often used in cooking at home, but in fact, egg shells and egg liquid can be processed and become good phosphorus fertilizers for flowers. The egg shells can be washed, dried, ground into powder and mixed into the soil, which can promote the growth of flowers and help them bloom more vigorously.

We can also dilute the egg liquid and let it stand for a period of time, then pour it directly into the soil of the growing flowers, so that the flowers and plants can further absorb nutrients, provide the nutritional needs of the flowers, and promote the healthy growth of the plants.

Tips for watering flowers with eggs

1. Dilution of egg liquid

If you have rotten eggs, you can use them to water the flowers. Beat the egg liquid, dilute it with water, stir it evenly, then seal the container and expose it to the sun for a few months. Wait until the liquid turns completely black and has a smell, then you can use it to water the flowers directly. This is a very good organic fertilizer.

2. Crush the eggshells

Collect the egg shells to be discarded, then wash them with clean water, expose them to the sun for a few days, then use a hammer to break the egg shells, and then put them in a wok at home to fry them. When they turn yellow and burnt, you can pour a small amount into the shallow layer of soil in the flowerpot to use as slow-release fertilizer for the flowers.

3. Eggshell fermentation

Egg shells can be fermented into nutrient solution together with some other substances. Add some crushed egg shells and peels when fermenting rice water. This will make the nutrients richer. When flowers need nutrients, watering them with some will have a good effect.

Precautions for watering flowers with eggs

Be careful not to crack the egg shell and throw it directly into the flowerpot, and do not pour the egg directly onto the surface of the soil or even bury it in the soil. The egg liquid will flow to the top of the soil and will not be directly absorbed. Even if watering can penetrate it into the soil, it will ferment in the soil and easily cause root burn.

In addition, the indoor temperature is relatively high and the ventilation is relatively poor. If egg liquid or egg shells are placed directly on the soil surface, it will eventually lead to frequent occurrence of diseases and insect pests, causing the house to be full of small flying insects.
