Use some garlic when growing flowers at home to prevent spoilage, promote germination, kill insects and protect flowers!

Why can garlic be used to grow flowers?

The effect of garlic on flower cultivation mainly comes from a substance called amino acid it contains. This substance can be hydrolyzed into allicin, which is a completely pollution-free pesticide for some flowers and has very good effects.

The magical benefits of garlic

Promote germination

Peel the garlic bought from the market, mash it with a tool, and mix it with boiled water in a ratio of one part garlic to three parts cold water. It is usually used to apply to flowers such as osmanthus, wintersweet, and magnolia. The germination effect is that it can urge them to germinate nearly a week in advance. In addition, the cuts left by pruning garden flowers can also be applied using this method, which can effectively prevent the cut surface from drying out.

Pest Control

The pests mentioned here are mainly aphids. The eggs of aphids can cause great damage to flowers and affect the healthy growth of the plants. If you cannot use pesticides at this time, you can crush the garlic into powder, add a little water to stir, then add more water to mix, and use spraying tools such as spray bottles, medicine cartridges, etc. to evenly spray it on the flowers infested by pests. Remember that it is best to spray on the back. This method can effectively prevent and control aphids.

Freshness preservation

The garlic is still mashed, but it needs to be soaked in water for more than ten hours, then heated and boiled, then left to cool, and then some impurities need to be filtered out to get a liquid containing the essence of garlic. Generally, flower branches are prone to rot, and briefly immersing them in this liquid can alleviate this problem.
