Everyone knows that beer is a delicious drink, but have you ever thought that it can also be the best "drink" for flowers and plants? That's right, pouring leftover beer into a pot not only provides nutrients to the plants, but also helps them grow healthy and strong, and it's a real surprise!
Some people may wonder why beer has such an effect.
Actually, this is thanks to an ingredient in beer – yeast. Yeast is rich in a variety of vitamins and amino acids, which are important elements needed for plant growth. In beer, yeast can promote the opening of flowers and the growth of leaves, improve the resistance of plants, and enhance their adaptability to the external environment.
Not only that, but beer also helps regulate the pH of the soil.
Many flowers and plants prefer acidic soils, and the hops and hops acids in beer can change the pH of the soil to a certain extent, providing a more suitable growth environment for flowers and plants. In addition, beer also contains some organic matter that can increase the fertility of the soil, improve the soil structure, and provide nutrients.
So, how do we use the leftover beer to water the flowers?
It's actually quite simple. First, pour the remaining beer into a watering can and gently water the pot with the watering can. Remember to spray the entire pot evenly to avoid overwatering and flooding.
In addition, you can choose to mix the beer and water in a 1:1 ratio after watering and continue to water the flowers and plants. This way can make better use of the nutrients in the beer, allowing the flowers and plants to absorb more nutrients.
There are a few potted plants at home, and I drank it with a sip of beer, and the result was really good.
1. Longevity flowers.
Although the longevity flower is not big, the flowers are very strong, every time it blooms, it is a flower ball, and the flowering period of each flower is very long, therefore, the longevity flowers bloom beautifully, especially the longevity flowers of various flower colors are planted together, which is more ornamental.
Kalancho is a very popular flower, not only is it easy to manage, but it also grows well and has a long flowering time. However, if it is not well maintained, the roots will rot, the leaves will turn yellow, and the flowers will be sparse. This is mainly related to the change of the conservation environment, fertilization, fertilization, etc.
If it is due to nutrient deficiencies, causing the leaves to turn yellow and the flowers to decrease, you can use diluted beer water to irrigate, once a week, after a while, the plant will change a lot.
2. Pothos.
Many people think that pothos is easy to raise, but most of the pothos, none of them are healthy, but healthy. This requires suitable environmental conditions and scientific water and fertilizer management. Most pothos stems are thin, the leaves are small, thin, and dull, and the leaves are prone to yellowing. In addition to good maintenance, this pothos can also be watered with beer. Spray the diluted beer water on the pothos leaves before watering.
Beer has a lot of nutrients, and it also contains a lot of carbon dioxide, which has a great effect on the photosynthesis of pothos.
Don't pour the beer water when you run out, you can wipe the leaves with a wet paper towel or cotton cloth that moistens the leaves, which will make the pothos leaves look shiny and shiny.
3, Junzi Orchid.
Like the orchid, there are many friends who raise the orchid, the orchid is a set of leaves, flowers, fruits in one of the ornamental flowers.
Irrigating the orchid with diluted beer water can provide more nutrients and enhance the photosynthesis of the plant, which can naturally improve nutrient deficiencies and nutritional imbalances in the long term.
4. Fortune tree.
It is an auspicious symbol that is easy to plant, has strong vitality, and is adaptable, and can be planted at home, in the office, in public.
However, this rich tree, which many people call "drunkards", could not use it to water their own fortune tree. Beer water balances nutrients and promotes photosynthesis, which is also very important for the fortune tree.
The Fortune Tree prefers acidic soil, and irreversible alkalinization occurs when breeding, but regular watering can alleviate this situation, because some acidic substances in the beer can neutralize the alkalinity in the soil very well, which is conducive to the growth of the Fortune Tree, of course, this also ensures the light of the Fortune Tree.
Of course, using beer to water flowers is not a panacea, it is only an adjunct. When watering flowers and plants, it is still necessary to make a reasonable match according to different flower species and growth environment. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the time and frequency of watering to avoid excessive water causing rot in the roots of flowers and plants.
Watering flowers with leftover beer is not only an environmentally friendly saving measure, but also a scientific method of raising flowers. It can provide nutrients to flowers and plants, improve soil pH, enhance plant resistance, and make flowers and plants healthy and strong. So, give it a try and be pleasantly surprised! Let's turn leftover beer into a floral beauty drink from now on!
