Is it okay to use rice water to water flowers?

It is very good to use rice washing water to water flowers, because rice washing water contains a small amount of phosphorus, nitrogen and other trace elements. It also contains protein and other nutrients needed for flower growth, which are beneficial to the growth of plants.

When used correctly, it can act as an organic fertilizer, help plants grow more vigorously, make the fragrance of flowers more intense, and prolong the opening time of flowers.

In addition, rice washing water can prevent the occurrence of chlorosis. The phosphorus it is rich in can promote the formation and differentiation of flower buds, allowing flowers to bloom more flowers.

How to water flowers with rice water

1. Prepare a relatively large container, put the prepared rice washing water into it, seal it with a lid, and place it in a well-lit place for fermentation. During the fermentation process, you can loosen the lid appropriately to prevent excess gas from being generated inside it. Wait for about a week, and when you see the water in the container becomes clear, you can use it. If you are worried that the fermented rice washing water has an odor, you can also add some chopped orange peels to remove the odor.

2. After fermentation, rice washing water cannot be used directly to water the flowers. The rice washing water and clean water need to be diluted in a ratio of 1:4. If you use it to water the flowers directly, the roots of the flowers may be burned.

Taboos of watering flowers with rice water
