What is the effect of aspirin tablets on flowers and what is the water ratio?

1. The role of aspirin in flower cultivation

Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, can be hydrolyzed into salicylic acid and acetic acid when it comes into contact with water. Salicylic acid is very beneficial to plant growth.

1. Keep flowers fresh and prevent root rot: Salicylic acid has antiseptic and antibacterial effects. If you throw half an aspirin tablet into the vase, the flowers in the water will bloom longer and more beautifully. Watering the flowers with aspirin tablets in water can also help prevent root and stem rot.

2. Promote rooting and improve resistance: Salicylic acid can stimulate the growth of plant roots. When the plants are cut, it can promote rapid rooting of the cuttings. Watering the flowers with aspirin tablets in water regularly can also help the plants grow deep roots and lush leaves, and improve their resistance.

2. What is the ratio of aspirin to water?

Take a small aspirin tablet, place the tablet on a piece of folded cardboard, crush the tablet into powder with a hammer, put the powder into a plastic bottle, add 2000ml of water to dilute it, mix it thoroughly and water the flowers once a month.

3. Precautions for using aspirin to grow flowers

The most common aspirin tablets sold on the market are enteric-coated aspirin tablets. Enteric-coated tablets are not easy to dissolve in water, so they need to be soaked in water for several times, shaken well and then watered with flowers. If you use aspirin effervescent tablets, which have a large gram weight, one tablet needs to be diluted with 10L of clean water to water the flowers.
