If you use expired pills at home, mix them with water and water the flowers, the pots will burst!

Vitamin B12

Flower cultivation effect:

Huahua went to her friend's house a few days ago and found a pile of vitamin B12 tablets in her house. She thought they were for her to take, but when she asked, she found out that they were for Hua! The flowers in her house are fed vitamin B12, which not only promotes rooting but also prevents root rot. The leaves are particularly green and bright!

Directions:

1. Promote rooting

When taking flower cuttings, the most feared thing is that they will not take root. After all, if they do not take root, all the previous efforts will be wasted. At this time, we can crush a tablet of vitamin B12, and then mix it with clean water in a ratio of 1:2000 to make a vitamin B12 solution.

Soak the branches that need to be cut in vitamin B12 solution for about 20 minutes to promote cell division of the cuttings and allow the cuttings to take root as soon as possible.

2. Treat root rot

When the roots of the flowers at home are rotten, you can cut off all the rotten roots, and then soak the plants in vitamin B12 solution for about 10 minutes, which will kill bacteria and promote root growth, which will help the flowers with rotten roots to grow new roots.

3. Prevent yellow leaves

When the leaves of the flowers at home turn yellow, you can crush a tablet of vitamin B12 and mix it with clean water in a ratio of 1:2000 to make a solution. Then, water the roots of the flowers with yellow leaves or spray the leaves. This will make the plants grow stronger and the leaves will be dark green instead of yellowing!

Vitamin C

Flower cultivation effect:

Huahua has a lot of vitamin C at home, and a lot of it has expired because Huahua really can’t eat it! However, vitamin C is very good for growing flowers. When dissolved in water, it will become weakly acidic. This acid is very useful for flowers such as jasmine and gardenia that like acidic soil. In addition, vitamin C can remove chlorine from water, making the water cleaner.

Directions:

1. Adjust soil pH to prevent yellow leaves

After fully crushing a vitamin C tablet, pour it into clean water and stir it to allow the vitamin C to completely dissolve in the water. This can not only directly water the flowers and adjust the pH value of the soil, but also avoid the possibility of yellowing leaves for flowers that have yellow leaves due to lack of acid. Gardenia, jasmine, azalea and camellia can all be used.

2. Remove chlorine from water

Every time Huahua turned on the faucet, she could smell the smell of chlorine, which was unbearable for Huahua, let alone using such water to water the flowers. At this time, we can first put the water for watering the flowers in a bucket, then throw a vitamin C tablet into the water, let it fully dissolve, remove the chlorine in the water, and then water the flowers.

Metronidazole

Flower cultivation effect:

Metronidazole has a bactericidal and antiseptic effect, especially for flowers with rotten roots, the bactericidal and disinfecting effect is very good. If you ask me what metronidazole is, it’s the same as Huahua. People who often have toothaches will definitely know it, because Huahua takes this when she has toothaches!

Directions:

1. Kill anaerobic bacteria and prevent hydroponics from stinking

Huahua grew a pot of green ivy in hydroponic culture. When she went out a few days ago, she crushed a tablet of metronidazole and put it in the hydroponic bottle. When she came back a month later, she found that the water in the hydroponic bottle did not smell at all. The effect is really great! What is the reason? After all, metronidazole can kill anaerobic bacteria, making the water in the hydroponic bottle free of bacteria and cleaner!

2. Sterilization and disinfection to prevent root rot

Once you find that the flowers at home have rotten roots, remove them from the pots, clean the rotten roots, then crush a metronidazole tablet, mix it with clean water in a ratio of 1:200, then put the trimmed roots in, soak for 30 minutes, dry them and put them back in the pots. The roots will then be less likely to rot.

Ferrous Sulfate Tablets

Flower cultivation effect:

When Huahua suffered from iron deficiency anemia as a child, the doctor prescribed ferrous sulfate tablets for her, saying that they could replenish iron. However, Huahua never liked to take them, so her mother used the expired tablets to grow flowers. Not only can they regulate the pH value of the soil, but they can also prevent the leaves from turning yellow. The effect is better than if they were taken by humans!

Directions:

1. Adjust soil pH to prevent yellow leaves

Generally, flowers such as gardenia and jasmine tend to grow poorly in the north, mainly because the potting soil is alkaline. At this time, you can crush a piece of ferrous sulfate, mix it with clean water in a ratio of 1:1000, and directly irrigate the roots. After a long time, the soil will become acidic and the yellow leaves phenomenon will disappear.

2. Promote chlorophyll synthesis to make flowers greener and brighter

Dissolve 1 tablet of ferrous sulfate in water, mix it with clean water in a ratio of 1:500 to form a solution, and spray it on the leaves with a spray bottle. Choose to do it in the morning or evening when the weather is clear. For better results, you can also add some urea. Anyway, Huahua persisted for several months, and the green radish at home grew unstoppably!

aspirin

Flower cultivation effect:

Aspirin contains a large amount of salicylic acid, which can effectively kill bacteria and disinfect, prevent bacterial infection, and increase cell division, thereby promoting rooting and allowing flowers to grow rapidly. Huahua once used aspirin on her face and it worked to get rid of acne!

Directions:

1. Protect the root system

When you change pots and soil in autumn, or if the roots are accidentally damaged, you can use aspirin solution to protect the roots. Mix 1 aspirin tablet and clean water in the ratio of 1:1000, then soak the roots in it for 3-5 hours. This can increase the survival rate when you put them in pots.

2. Promote rooting and can be used as homemade rooting water

Before cuttings, you can mix aspirin and water in a solution at a ratio of 1:100, and then soak the cut cuttings in the aspirin solution. This can effectively promote rooting and increase the survival rate of cuttings.

3. Enhance orchid resistance

Aspirin can improve the immunity of orchids. Mix 1 aspirin tablet and clean water in a ratio of 1:2000, then put the mixture in a spray bottle and spray the leaves once every three months. This will make the orchid leaves greener and prevent orchid soft rot and black spot.

Gentian Purple

Flower cultivation effect:

Huahua's most profound impression of gentian violet was when she had chickenpox as a child and her mother smeared it all over her body, forcing her to stay at home for several days. Therefore, the main function of gentian violet is to kill bacteria and disinfect.

Directions:

1. Cutting anti-corrosion

When taking cuttings, you can drop 3-5 drops of gentian violet into the water and mix it evenly. Then soak the cuttings in the gentian violet solution for more than half an hour to kill bacteria and disinfect them. This way, the roots will not easily rot during the process of taking cuttings.

2. Treat root rot and sterilize

Once the roots of the flowers at home are rotten, we can cut off all the rotten parts and then apply some gentian violet on the wounds. This will prevent the rotten roots from rotting again.

Carbendazim

Flower cultivation effect:

In the career of flower cultivation, carbendazim is like a panacea for sterilization and disinfection. Whether it is used to sterilize flowers to prevent root rot, or mixed into the soil for sterilization and disinfection, the effect is very good!

Directions:

1. Soil sterilization and disinfection

Every time you change the pot and soil of flowers, you should add some carbendazim for sterilization and disinfection. This can not only kill some bacteria in the soil, but also protect the flowers from various bacteria when they are in the pots.

2. Protect leaves and control the spread of pathogens

Flowers like roses often have powdery mildew, leaf spot and other diseases on their leaves. At this time, we can dilute carbendazim powder with water at a ratio of 1:50, put it in a spray bottle and spray it on the leaves. We can do this 1-2 times a week to prevent the leaves from being infected by bacteria.

3. Disinfection of cuttings

After we take cuttings, in order to prevent the cuttings from being infected by bacteria and causing them to die, we can mix carbendazim powder and clean water in a ratio of 1:50 into a solution, and then soak the cuttings in the carbendazim solution for 20 minutes to achieve the effect of sterilization and disinfection.

potassium permanganate

Flower cultivation effect:

A few days ago, Huahua ran out of carbendazim at home. She happened to have a bottle of potassium permanganate on hand, so she used it instead of carbendazim. The bactericidal and disinfecting effects are actually similar!

Directions:

1. Prevent damping-off and damping-off

A few days ago, Huahua’s friend bought a pot of petunia, but it died within a few days. Huahua found out that it was caused by damping-off disease. Next time you encounter this situation, spray with a solution of potassium permanganate and water in a ratio of 1:800, and the prevention effect can reach 97%!

2. Prevent root rot and sterilize

When the roots of the flowers at home are rotten, cut off the rotten parts and then soak them in 0.2% potassium permanganate solution for half an hour to sterilize and disinfect the root system, effectively reducing the occurrence of secondary root rot.
