Growing Clivia with Beer

Clivia drinking beer

Clivia blooming for the first time

The old man had a pot of Clivia, but it never bloomed. One time, he poured half a cup of beer into the pot. As a result, the Clivia gradually began to bud and soon bloomed.

Clivia blooming in the second year

At the beginning of the next spring, the old man looked at his beloved Clivia and poured another small glass of beer. The Clivia really bloomed again. The next day he poured another small glass of beer, and the flowers bloomed big and beautifully.

It turns out that beer contains a large amount of carbon dioxide, which is an indispensable substance for the metabolism of various flowers. Beer also contains nutrients that are beneficial to the growth of flowers.

Watering the Flowers

Watering flowers with an appropriate amount of beer can make them grow vigorously and have green leaves and bright flowers. The specific method is to mix water and beer in a ratio of 1:50 and then use it.

Spray blade

Mix water and beer in a ratio of 1:10, and spray the leaves with it, which can also achieve the effect of foliar fertilization.

Wipe the leaves

For foliage flowers and trees, you can use cotton wool or a clean soft cloth dipped in beer to gently wipe the leaves. Because the leaves can directly absorb nutrients, the leaves of flowers are greener.
