Feed the flowers with some garlic, and they won’t attract insects or rot the roots, and will help them grow faster!

Garlic for aphid control

Summer is a season when insect pests are prevalent, and the flowers grown by gardeners also attract many small insects. You can use garlic water to water the flowers, which can effectively prevent insect pests.

Steps:

1. Peel off the outer skin of the garlic, then put it into the garlic mortar and mash it into garlic paste.

2. Soak the mashed garlic in water, then filter it, leaving only the clear water on the top.

3. Pour the supernatant into a spray bottle, continue to add water to dilute it, and then use it to spray roses, chrysanthemums and other plants every day to effectively prevent and control aphids and scale insects.

Prevent plant rot

There is a lot of rain in the summer and the air is hot and humid, so flowers and plants are prone to root, leaf and stem rot. At this time, garlic can be of great help.

How to do it:

1. First, clean the rotten parts thoroughly.

2. Cut the garlic into two cloves, and then apply its mucus to the wound. Apply it once a week, and it can have a good antiseptic effect, which is more effective in summer.

Preservation and freshness

When you buy flowers for home or pick flowers you grow yourself, you hope to enjoy them for a long time. At this time, you might as well use some garlic extract.

How to do it:

1. Mash the garlic, add water and bring to a boil in a pot.

2. Then use a mesh to filter out the debris and take the clear garlic extract.

3. Soak the flowers in the extract for twenty seconds to effectively extend the flowering period.

Promote shoot germination

Applying garlic extract to the wounds of pruned branches can prevent the wounds from drying out and promote the germination of more side buds.

How to do it:

1. Peel the garlic, mash it, and add water in a ratio of 1:3.

2. Mix garlic and water evenly, and then apply it to the cut of the branch.
