Can soy milk be used to water flowers?

Nowadays, more and more people like to grow flowers. Everyone likes to grow a few potted flowers at home. Sometimes leftover or expired soy milk is used to water the flowers. So can soy milk be used to water flowers? Let’s take a look with the editor below.

1. Can soy milk be used to water flowers?

Soy milk can be used to water flowers, but it must be processed and cannot be used directly to water flowers. In addition to the usual compound fertilizers and slow -release fertilizers , you can also use some rice water, expired milk , bean dregs, soy milk, etc. to water the flowers. In fact, if you use the right method, you can still make the flowers grow fast and vigorously. The fermentation method is also very simple. Pour the soy milk into an oil bottle or a plastic bucket and it can be used after leaving it for more than ten days in summer. It can be used after fermenting it for two or three weeks at other times.

Soy milk contains a lot of protein and is also beneficial to flowers and plants. However, if you pour soy milk directly into the flowerpot without fermentation, these proteins will not only fail to be absorbed by the roots of flowers and plants, but will also cause the soil in the pot to become compacted. If used for a long time, it will burn the roots and hinder root growth. Therefore, you cannot use soy milk directly to water flowers. It must be fermented before use.

2. How to water flowers with soy milk?

1. Prepare soy milk

Put the soy milk in a clean transparent bottle, add an appropriate amount of water, and you can add some fruit peels in it to effectively remove odors and supplement vitamin C.

2. Processing soy milk

Soy milk cannot be used directly and needs to be fermented for a period of time. After preparing the soy milk, put the bottle cap on and place it in a ventilated place. Unscrew the bottle cap once every two days to let it ventilate. This way, you can use it to water the flowers in about a week.

3. Usage

Generally, flowers prefer thin fertilizers and infrequent applications. You can dilute the fertilizer with water at a ratio of 1:50 and water the flowers. It is best not to water the flowers on the leaves, as this will affect the appearance.

4. Number of times used

It is not recommended to use soy milk to water flowers frequently. Over time, it will cause the soil in the flowerpot to become compacted and hardened, and the roots of the plants will not be able to absorb enough nutrients, leading to death. Such things can only be used at intervals and used as fertilizer .

5. Notes

Soy milk can be used to grow flowers because it is made from soybeans. After fermentation, it will decompose into a compound fertilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. But don't do it too much, generally once a week is enough. When watering with this nutrient solution, if you find that the tips of the leaves turn yellow, it means that too much nutrient solution has been applied. Water more and then pour out the water to dilute the nutrients in it.

The above is an introduction to whether soy milk can be used to water flowers. Using fermented soy milk to water flowers can not only make the plants grow stronger, but also make the flowers bloom more and more fragrant, it can also make the leaves greener and free of chlorosis, etc., and it can also promote the formation of flower buds.
