The correct way to water flowers with potato water is to ferment it before watering flowers.

Potatoes are rich in starch, sugars, and trace elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Using water soaked in potatoes to water flowers can make the plants grow stronger, the leaves of the plants brighter and fuller, and the flowers bloom more and more brightly. Camellia, Clivia, green ivy, roses, etc. can all be watered with potato water.

Potato water cannot be used directly to water flowers. It must be fermented and diluted before it can be used to water flowers. Unfermented potato water will contain impurities and large molecules, which cannot be absorbed by plants and will cause poor plant growth. Undiluted potato water has a high concentration, which may burn plant roots and cause soil compaction.

How to water potatoes

1. Potato water fermentation

Pour half the amount of water used to soak potatoes into a plastic bottle, then place it in a sunny place to ferment for about a month. Alternatively, mash the spoiled potatoes into a paste and pour it into the water for fermentation. You can also add milk to make the potato water contain higher nutritional content.

2. Dilute potato water to water the flowers

Mix the fermented potato water with clean water in a ratio of 1:10 and directly water the plants. You can also add an appropriate amount of polyclonal antibiotic powder to the diluted potato water. Watering the plants with this mixed water can effectively prevent the occurrence of diseases and pests, and also prevent plant root rot.

Precautions for watering potatoes

Potato water needs to be fermented before it can be used. During fermentation, the water must not be filled up, otherwise it is easy to explode. The completely fermented potato water must be diluted before watering the flowers. Potato water cannot be used to wipe or spray the leaves, as it will easily make the leaves turn yellow and wilt.
