The correct way to water flowers with rice water

1. Methods

1. Fermentation treatment: Before watering, rice water must be fermented first. The method is very simple. You can put the rice water into a sealable plastic bottle and then expose it directly to strong light. It will ferment and become organic fertilizer in about half a month.

2. Dilute with water: Even after the rice washing water is completely fermented, it cannot be used for watering directly. You must add an appropriate amount of clean water to dilute it, otherwise the acidic content is high and it is easy to burn the plants. It is recommended that the ratio of clean water to rice water be controlled at 7:3, and do not water the leaves when watering. If there is an odor, add orange peel to reduce the odor.

2. Benefits

There are many benefits to using fermented rice water to water plants. It contains many vitamins, trace elements, proteins, etc., which are essential substances for the growth of flowers and plants, and are beneficial to their growth and development after watering. In addition, rice water is slightly acidic, which is especially beneficial for some acid-loving plants. It can not only promote growth and encourage more flowering, but also prolong the flowering time and prevent chlorosis.

3. Notes

When watering with rice water, please note that some flowers cannot be watered, especially alkaline-loving plants, such as cacti, maidenhair ferns, etc. Although it can supplement nutrients, it cannot completely replace fertilization. Fertilizer should still be applied when necessary to avoid nutrient deficiency.
