Benefits of watering flowers with beverages

Drinks contain a lot of sugar and carbon dioxide, which can promote the formation of chlorophyll in flowers for photosynthesis. The citric acid contained in some drinks also has a certain bactericidal effect. Watering flowers with it can reduce the growth of bacteria. In addition, drinks also contain sodium benzoate, which has antioxidant properties and can delay the decline of flowers. It is a good tool for growing flowers.

Disadvantages of watering flowers with beverages

Beverages contain sugar, which is particularly likely to attract insects. When beverages ferment naturally, they will breed a lot of bacteria, which will cause the roots of flowers and plants to rot and die.

If you use drinks to water the flowers directly, it will seriously hinder the breathing of the roots, and the heat it releases will burn the roots, causing great damage to the root system of the flowers, and easily cause yellowing leaves, falling leaves, or even death.

How to water flowers with beverages

The most common flower that can be watered with beverages is the green radish, and it should not be used too frequently. Beverages are relatively heavy fertilizers, and watering once every 30 days is enough. However, the specific number of watering depends on the condition of the flowers, and the beverage cannot be poured directly on the flowers. The beverage should be diluted with water and then poured on the soil.
