1. Can it be used as fertilizer to grow flowers?

Cigarette ash can be used as fertilizer. It is the solid residue left after burning tobacco and contains some elements that are beneficial to plant growth and can help the growth of plants. However, it is not suitable for all plants because it contains highly alkaline substances. If added for a long time, the soil will become alkaline. Plants that like to grow in an acidic environment may not be able to adapt and their growth may be hindered. It can also kill small insects in the soil. You need to pay attention to certain methods when using it.
