1, fermentation treatment
When you pour rice water, you must ferment it first. The method is simple. Rice washing water can be put into a sealable plastic bottle and then directly exposed to strong light. It can be fermented and decomposed in about half a month to become an organic fertilizer.
Step 2 dilute with water
After the rice washing water is completely fermented, it is not suitable to water it directly, and a proper amount of water must be added to dilute it, otherwise the acid content will be high and the plants will be easily burned. The ratio of clean water to rice washing water is suggested to be controlled at 7:3, and don't pour it on the leaves when watering. If there is an odor, orange peel can be added to reduce the odor.
When watering, let the rice washing water run down the edge of the flowerpot and soak all the soil. Be careful not to put rice washing water directly on the petals to avoid the petals wilting. Note that Taomi water can't water cactus, fern and other plants that like alkaline environment, which will make the plants grow poorly after watering.
Benefits of washing rice and watering flowers
There are many advantages to watering plants with fermented rice washing water. It contains a lot of vitamins, trace elements, protein and so on. These are all necessary substances for the growth of flowers and plants, which are beneficial to the growth and development after watering. In addition, the rice washing water is weakly acidic, which is especially beneficial to some acid-loving plants. It can not only promote growth, promote more flowering, but also prolong flowering time and prevent yellowing.
When watering rice, we should pay attention to some flowers that can't be watered, especially alkaline plants, such as cactus and Adiantum. Although it can supplement nutrition, it cannot completely replace fertilization. When applying fertilizer, be sure to apply fertilizer to avoid nutrient deficiency.
