Can Monstera be watered with beer?

1. Can be poured

Monstera can be watered with beer. This not only replenishes nutrients for the plant and makes its leaves more shiny, but also disinfects the pot and soil to prevent pests from appearing.

2. Pouring method

Dilute the beer with water at a ratio of 250:1. Water the roots of the plant once a week with diluted beer. When watering, you need to water it thoroughly to ensure that every root of the plant can absorb the nutrients in the beer. The advantage of doing this is that it can replenish nutrients for the plant and avoid damage to the plant caused by chemical fertilizers. Because the roots of Monstera are sensitive, if chemical fertilizers are used improperly, it is easy to burn the roots. Beer can be used instead of fertilizer for plants.

3. Other uses

The amino acids contained in beer can supplement nutrients to the leaves, which is equivalent to natural foliar fertilizer. If the leaves have sufficient nutrients, the plant will grow better and naturally have more ornamental value. However, beer cannot be used directly to wipe the leaves. It should be diluted with water in a ratio of 1:20. After treatment, wipe the leaves with it the next day. However, this method cannot replace watering the leaves of the plants. When using, wipe both sides of the plant's leaves because there are stomata on both sides. This can increase the absorption rate.

IV. Precautions

1. When watering the roots, you cannot replace water. You should water the roots normally.

2. It likes slightly acidic soil. If the soil is alkaline, you can use beer to adjust the pH because beer is acidic.
