Using rice water to water the flowers is like poison, it will kill every pot of flowers you grow!

Rice washing water

There are some small broken rice grains, bran, etc. in rice washing water, which is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and other trace elements. Watering the flowers with some rice water can make the branches and leaves lush, the flowers more colorful, and the flowers bloom more full of life. Why do some flower lovers’ flowers turn yellow and wilt after watering, while others’ flowers grow faster and faster the more they water?

Wrong way to use rice water:

1. Pour the rice water directly into the basin

Rice water is indeed rich in nutrients, but it must be fermented before it can be used to water the flowers. Watering the flowers directly will burn the roots. Over time, it will cause the soil to become compacted and the root breathing will be blocked, which will definitely lead to death!

2. Watering flowers that like alkaline water

Some flower lovers do use fermented rice water to water their flowers, but why do the flowers die? The reason is that the fermented rice water is acidic, but it is used to water flowers that like alkaline water, such as cacti and succulents.

The correct way to water rice:

1. Pour rice water into a plastic bottle

Find a clean plastic bottle, pour in rice washing water, about 80% full, throw in a few slices of orange peel, cover it with the lid, and place it in a warm place with direct sunlight.

2. Fermentation is completed after 15 days

During the fermentation period, open the bottle cap for ventilation every 3 days and then close it again. After about 15 days, the rice water will turn yellow or black and smell a little sour, which means it is fermented. It also has a fresh fragrance because of the addition of orange peel.

3. Dilute 10 times to water the flowers, the branches and leaves will be strong

After the rice water has fermented, be sure to dilute it by adding 10 times the amount of clean water before using it to water the flowers. Otherwise, the soil will become too acidic, which is not conducive to the growth of flowers.

Which flowers should be watered with rice water?

Rice water becomes acidic after fermentation and is suitable for watering camellia, azalea, gardenia, rose and other flowers that like acid. Some northern flower lovers always see yellow leaves and wilt of these flowers. It is likely that the soil is alkaline. Watering with rice water can make the soil acidic, allowing azalea, gardenia and other flowers to grow green!

Potato water

The water used to wash shredded potatoes or potato cubes contains a lot of starch, and is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, and trace elements. It is also a good fertilizer for watering flowers. However, some flower lovers find that their flowers die the more they water them. Why?

Wrong way to water potatoes:

No fermentation, just watering the flowers

For those flower lovers who see their flowers die the more they water them, it is definitely because they watered the flowers directly without fermenting them. The starch will ferment in the soil, emit heat, and burn the roots. It would be strange if the flowers could grow well!

The correct way to water potatoes:

1. Pour the potato water into the bucket for fermentation

Find a clean bucket and pour the potato water into it, but don't fill it too full. Then cover it with a lid and place it in a sunny place. Open the lid for ventilation every 3 days and then cover it tightly again.

2. Add water to water the flowers, and the flowers will grow like crazy

When the temperature is high and the sun is strong, it will take about a month to ferment. Take out some potato water and mix it with 10 times the amount of clean water to water the flowers. The flowers will definitely grow wildly!

What flowers can be watered with potato water

Flowers like green ivy, asparagus fern, money tree, etc. can be watered with fermented potato water. The flowers grow several times faster as if they have taken hormones, and the flowers are densely packed!

Overnight tea

Leftover tea contains vitamins, potassium, calcium, zinc and other nutrients. Don't throw away the leftover tea. Collect it and use it to water the flowers. This will save you money on buying fertilizers and also make the flowers grow rapidly.

Wrong way to pour leftover tea:

Pour the tea leaves and the water into the soil

Huahua has seen more than once that some people, when they are lazy, like to pour leftover tea into flower pots. This will not only burn the roots, but the tea leaves will also grow mold and rot in the soil, and it would be strange if it doesn't attract insects!

Correct way to pour residual tea water:

1. Put the remaining tea into a plastic bottle

Find a plastic bottle, pour in leftover tea, and add some brown sugar to speed up the fermentation. Then screw on the bottle cap and put it in the sun. It will be fermented in about 5 days.

2. After diluting, water the flowers and the leaves will be fat and green.

Pour out some fermented leftover tea and dilute it with clean water. The ratio of leftover tea to clean water is 1:20. After the flowers drink the tea, they will grow buds and their branches will become thick and strong!

Which flowers can be watered with leftover tea water?

The leftover tea water can be used to water Milan, azalea, camellia, gardenia, etc., making the flowers bloom and the leaves grow big and green!

Meat blanching water

Before eating raw meat such as pork or chicken, many people are accustomed to blanching it in boiling water first to remove residual blood and get rid of the fishy smell. The water used to blanch meat contains nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, trace elements, etc. It is definitely a good thing for watering flowers!

Wrong way to pour water for blanching meat:

Pour the blanching water directly into the basin

The water used to blanch meat is relatively greasy, and contains some residual raw meat residue, blood, etc. If you pour it directly into the flowerpot, it will not only attract many insects and germs, but will also ferment and burn the roots!

The correct way to pour the water for blanching meat:

1. Pour the blanching water into a plastic bottle

First let the water used for blanching the meat sit still, and when it cools down, pour it into a plastic bucket, 80% full. Add some tea leaves to remove odors, then screw on the bottle cap and place it under direct sunlight.

2. After diluting, water the flowers and the flowers will become a green waterfall

After 20-30 days, the water used to blanch the meat will be fermented. Add an equal amount of clean water to dilute it and then water the flowers. The flowers will grow wildly after drinking it!

What flowers can be watered with the water used to blanch meat?

Flowers like green ivy, Clivia, and money tree can be watered with blanching water, so that the branches will grow thicker and the leaves will become denser!

Soybean water

The water used to soak soybeans before making soy milk or tofu pudding, or the water used to boil soybeans before making bean paste all contain nitrogen, which is perfect for watering flowers. It will make the flowers grow wildly and turn into a green wall!

Wrong way to water soybeans:

The water used after soaking or boiling soybeans cannot be used directly on flowers. The nutrients in it cannot be absorbed by the flowers and will affect their growth.

Correct way to water soybeans:

1. Don’t add seasoning to the water used to cook soybeans

The water used to boil soybeans ferments faster than the water used to soak the soybeans. Here, Huahua will introduce the fermentation method of boiled soybean water. When cooking soybeans, just add water and do not add salt or other seasonings.

2. Put soybean water into plastic bottles

First let the soybean water cool down, then pour it into a plastic bottle, about 80% full, add some orange peel, screw on the lid, and leave it in the sun to ferment.

3. Add water to water the flowers, and the flowers will bloom

Generally, after 15-20 days, the soybean water will be fermented. Add 10 times the amount of clean water, stir and dilute it, and then water the flowers. It will definitely make the leaves emerald green and shiny!

What flowers can be watered with soybean water?

Most foliage flowers can be watered with fermented soybean water, such as green ivy, lucky tree, spider plant, etc.

Expired milk

Expired milk is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and can be used to water flowers, making them grow twice as fast, the leaves become emerald green, and the flowers bloom more and more brightly!

Wrong way to pour expired milk:

Expired milk should not be used to water flowers directly, as it will damage the root system and cause yellow leaves to wilt!

Correct way to pour expired milk:

1. Put expired milk into plastic bottles

Pour the expired milk into a clean plastic bottle, then add some tea leaves or orange peel to remove the smell, cover it with a lid, open the lid for ventilation every two days, and place it in the sun. It will ferment in about 2-3 months.

2. Dilute before watering the flowers

Pour out some fermented expired milk and dilute it with 50 times the amount of clean water. Be careful not to pour it on the flowers and leaves, but directly into the soil. The flowers absorbed the nutrients and bloomed into 100 flowers!

What flowers can be watered with expired milk?

Expired milk after fermentation is acidic, which is suitable for watering azalea, gardenia and other flowers that like acid. It can make the flowers grow more and more vigorously, with 50 flowers blooming on one branch!

Almost every household has this wastewater.
