Garlic is a good way to grow flowers at home

The magical effect of garlic: promoting germination

Peel and mash the garlic, and apply it with cold boiled water in a ratio of 1:3 to the sprouts of magnolia, osmanthus, camellia sasanqua, wintersweet, etc., which can advance their germination by 5 to 7 days. Applying the paint on the cuts caused by flower pruning can prevent the cuts from drying out and promote uniform germination.

The magical effect of garlic: preventing and controlling rot

When the rhizomes of woody flowers such as Bauhinia and Forsythia have dried up and rotted, use a sharp knife to flatten them, reaching deep into the wood. Cut the bark around the pathogen into a smooth slope of 60° to expose the yellow and green cambium. Apply garlic cloves directly to the wound and allow a layer of garlic mucus to adhere to it. Apply it once every 7 to 10 days to play an antiseptic role, which is more effective in summer.

Garlic's magical effect: preventing and controlling aphids

Mash the garlic, add 1 part of water and mix well, then add 50 parts of water, stir evenly and use as soon as possible. Spraying evenly on the back of flower leaves can effectively prevent and control flower aphids. If you add an appropriate amount of adhesive such as soybean powder or laundry detergent, the effect will be better.

The magical effect of garlic: preservation and freshness

Mash the garlic and soak it in clean water for 12 hours. Boil it together with the water, cool it down and filter it to make garlic extract. Soak the cut flowers in 10% garlic extract for 10 to 20 seconds to extend their flowering period.
