Can Phalaenopsis be watered with rice water?

1. Can be poured

Rice water can be used to water Phalaenopsis. Proper use of rice water to water it can make it grow better.

Because rice water contains many trace elements, such as calcium, magnesium, etc., it has certain benefits for plant growth. In addition, more importantly, rice water is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Using it to water flowers can provide more nutrients for the plants and allow them to grow better.

In addition, rice water is slightly acidic, which can help maintain the slightly acidic nature of the soil, providing it with more suitable growing conditions.

2. Usage

Rice water cannot be used directly to water Phalaenopsis orchids. It needs to be fermented and diluted before it can be used.

First, you need to put the rice water into a sealed transparent container, seal the bottle mouth to make sure there is no leakage, and then leave it for about half a month.

Before watering the flowers, you need to shake the rice water evenly, and then add two or three times the volume of pure water or tap water that has been allowed to stand and settle. This will ensure that the fertilizer is not too concentrated and will not burn the roots of the plants.
