Can gardenia be watered with beer?

1. Reasons

①Nutrients

Generally speaking, beer is brewed from fermented grains, so it contains a lot of beneficial substances such as sugar and amino acids, some of which can be directly absorbed and utilized by the roots of this flower, so it can be used for watering. In addition, beer contains a large amount of CO2, which will evaporate and disperse in the air around the plants, increasing the CO2 concentration. This can effectively increase the photosynthetic efficiency of the flowers and accelerate the accumulation of nutrients.

②Improve the flower soil environment

Using beer for watering can improve the condition of the flower soil, making it more suitable for the growth of flowers and helping the roots to better absorb nutrients from the soil, so that they can grow better. In addition, proper application of beer watering before budding can also help promote flowering.

2. Usage

① Watering the flowers

Beer can be used for watering, but we need to dilute it before use. The best dilution ratio is 1:50. It must not be too concentrated, otherwise it will not only fail to help the flowers grow, but will damage its roots and slow down its growth. The method of watering is similar to that of watering, just pour it at a certain distance from the main trunk of the plant.

②Spraying

Beer can also be used to spray flowers, but we also need to dilute it before use, and the ratio can be controlled at about 1:10. You can spray it some about every seven days, which can not only increase the humidity, but also increase the concentration of CO2, which is killing two birds with one stone.

③Deodorization

The deodorization mentioned here does not refer to the flowers, but to the flower fertilizer. Many flower fertilizers have a very strong smell, which many flower lovers can't stand. At this time, we can add 5% beer to the flower fertilizer, shake it evenly, and then let it stand. Soon, the smell of the fertilizer will dissipate and we can use it better!

3. Notes

① Not too thick

Because beer contains a large amount of alcohol, if the roots of the plants are soaked in a high concentration solution of this substance for a long time, they are likely to rot.

② Reduce fertilization

Because there is a lot of salt in beer, if we apply flower fertilizer in normal amounts after using beer, it is likely to cause the nutrient concentration in the flower soil to be too high, hindering its growth.
