What is the correct way to water flowers with rice water

Now that living conditions are better, more and more people are planting flowers and raising fish in their spare time. When it comes to growing flowers, there has always been a controversial statement, which is whether to use rice water to water the flowers. Some people use this method to grow flowers very well, while some people kill their flowers. Why is this? Is it because of the different varieties of flowers or because of the different ways of using rice water? Let's talk about how to use rice water to water flowers correctly.

1. The principle of using rice water to supplement nutrition for plants:

Rice washing water contains bran and some rice residue, which are good sources of phosphorus and nitrogen, as well as some trace elements needed for plant growth, and are very beneficial for promoting the healthy growth of plants. But if you buy fine rice, after polishing, there will be no bran and some rice residue in the rice.

2. Correct usage:

Rice water needs to be fully fermented before it can become the best liquid organic fertilizer, and it must be diluted with water before use. It is best used in an open-air environment. It is not suitable for use in enclosed spaces or indoors.

The method of fermenting rice water is also very simple. Just put the rice water into a plastic bottle, place it in the sun, and seal it for 10 to 15 days to complete the fermentation. However, there will be a disgusting smell when you just open it.

After the rice water is fermented, there is no thick sediment at the bottom of the liquid and it is slightly acidic. After being diluted with water, it is very suitable for watering flowers. It is very helpful to improve the acidity and alkalinity of the soil and increase the fertility of the soil.

Proper use can increase the frequency of flowering of plants, prevent yellowing leaves of plants, promote the formation of flower buds, and facilitate better flowering.

3. How to reduce the odor of fermented rice water:

It is basically impossible to completely eliminate the smell of rice water, but we can reduce the smell appropriately. You can add some chopped lemon peels into the rice water, or mix it with some yogurt and beer. This can increase the fermentation speed of the rice water and reduce the smell. It is also a more practical method.

4. Notes on using rice water:

The ratio of fermented rice water to water should be determined according to the growth conditions of the plants. Plants with weaker growth should be added with more water, and vice versa.

The frequency of use should not be too frequent, generally 1 to 2 times a month is sufficient.
