These 10 flower care tips are very suitable for beginners
Chili peppers do have the effect of repelling insects, but if chili peppers are directly sprinkled in the flowerpot for a long time, they will become moldy and furry, causing soil pollution and affecting the growth of plants. The correct method is to take an appropriate amount of chili peppers, soak and filter them, and use this chili pepper water to water the plants, which has a preventive effect on insect infestation. Also, fully fermented milk is indeed beneficial for watering plants. However, if you water plants directly with milk, you might as well wait for insects and mold to grow.
Teaching beginners some easy flower care tips
In the process of caring for flowers, do you often hear or see "quick tips" shared by others? Some of these tips are indeed useful and can save effort.
However, some tips are fabrications and not only fail to keep the plants healthy but may also cause healthy plants to wither. Let's talk about 10 flower care "quick tips" that test intelligence, which beginners cherish but experienced gardeners disdain.
① Sprinkling rice in the flowerpotIt is said that sprinkling a handful of rice in the flowerpot will make the plants grow rapidly and bloom easily. However, plants are not humans or mice and cannot directly absorb the rice.
On the contrary, rice is unrotted organic matter, which will become moldy and produce a large number of bacteria and pests when sprinkled in the flowerpot, causing the plants to grow poorly and also polluting the indoor air. If you really want to use rice to care for plants, fully rot the rice first for effective results.
② Using waste oil from the kitchen exhaust hood to care for plantsDo you also see the claim that pouring waste oil from the kitchen exhaust hood into the flowerpot will make the plants grow well with green leaves?
The waste oil from the exhaust hood is a macromolecule that plants cannot absorb. Only when it is fully rotten can it become a small molecule that plants can absorb.
On the contrary, pouring waste oil into the flowerpot will breed bacteria and pests and may also cause the soil to be waterlogged, leading to the plants drying out easily.
③ Using baking soda to water plantsWatering plants with baking soda water can prevent insects and diseases, making the plants grow well? Diluted baking soda water can indeed be used to spray the leaves of plants, which has an effect of killing bacteria and preventing pests.
However, baking soda water should not be used to water plants because most of the plants we grow at home prefer acidic soil, and baking soda water is alkaline. After watering, the soil becomes alkaline, causing the plants to grow poorly or wither and turn yellow.
④ Burying eggs in the flowerpotHitting an egg into the flowerpot will make the plants grow rapidly and bloom easily. This flower care tip is really misleading and will make you regret using it. The eggs will quickly become smelly and have a very unpleasant odor.
If you hit an egg into the flowerpot of indoor plants, the whole room will smell bad, and the odor will not dissipate for several weeks. Hitting eggs into the flowerpot will directly cause the plants to wither.
If you want to grow plants well, use some fertilizer properly. Eggs are not something that everything can eat.
⑤ Planting roses with potatoesFor a while, it was very popular to plant roses with potatoes, with a claimed survival rate of 100%. Some gardening friends tried it, but the roses did not survive, and a pot of potato seedlings grew instead.
Planting roses with potatoes has no scientific basis. On the contrary, using potatoes to plant roses will only cause the cuttings to rot early and not root or sprout.
So, when propagating roses or other plants, don't use potatoes. It's a waste. Use some sand or buy some vermiculite, propagate more at once, and some will survive.
⑥ Watering plants with milkMilk is a good thing, rich in nutrients. Can watering plants with milk also promote their growth? Fully fermented milk is indeed beneficial for watering plants.
But if you water plants directly with milk, you might as well wait for insects and mold to grow. Pouring too much milk into plants at once or watering directly without dilution can cause the leaves to turn yellow and the entire plant to wither.
⑦ Using aspirin to care for plantsUsing aspirin to care for plants can make the roots lush and the plants grow well. Therefore, some gardening friends buried aspirin in their plants, and there is also aspirin powder (C-S) available online.
In reality, aspirin is difficult to dissolve in water. Burying aspirin in the flowerpot or watering plants with aspirin powder mixed with water will not be absorbed by the plants.
Dissolving a small amount of aspirin in alcohol and then watering the plants can truly promote root and leaf growth. Aspirin is easily soluble in alcohol, and diluting it with a small amount of alcohol and then watering the plants will not cause any side effects.
⑧ Sprinkling chili peppers in the flowerpotSprinkling a handful of chili peppers in the flowerpot can repel insects and prevent ants from growing in the flowerpot?
Chili peppers do have the effect of repelling insects, but directly sprinkling them in the flowerpot for a long time will cause them to become moldy and furry, leading to soil pollution and affecting plant growth.
The correct method is to soak an appropriate amount of chili peppers, filter them, and use this chili pepper water to water the plants, which has a preventive effect on insect infestation. Or regularly spray the leaves of the plants with chili pepper water to also prevent insect infestation.
⑨ Using liquor to promote bloomingIf plants do not bloom or bloom less, watering them with a little liquor will make them bloom fully?
Liquor contains a lot of water, some alcohol, and organic matter, but it does not contain the phosphorus that makes plants bloom or the potassium that makes roots grow. How can it make plants bloom?
Watering plants with undiluted liquor can cause yellow leaves or the entire plant to wither. Even diluted liquor, when watered on weak plants, can also cause the entire plant to wither.
⑩ Milk can kill red spidersIf plants have red spiders and you don't want to use chemicals, just spray some milk, and the greedy red spiders will be stuffed to death?
Spraying milk on plants can indeed stuff the adult red spiders, but it cannot kill the larvae. After a few days, when the larvae grow up, they will continue to eat the plants.
Also, milk contains sugar. Frequently spraying milk on plants will cause a lot of dust to stick to the leaves, blocking the stomata and affecting photosynthesis, leading to poor plant growth.
Spraying milk on plants occasionally is fine, but frequent and excessive use is absolutely not recommended, as it only does harm and not good.
The above 10 flower care "quick tips" are cherished by beginners but despised by experienced gardeners! After using these tips, think about whether they make sense and pay attention to the method of use, otherwise "quick tips" become "killer tips" and destroy the originally healthy plants!
The above is a comprehensive introduction to these 10 flower care tips that are very suitable for beginners, hoping to bring some knowledge about green plants to green plant enthusiasts.
