This "3 types" of water are the "Revival Waters"
When foliage plants like green vines and hanging orchids show yellow leaves and burnt edges, or flowering plants like kaffir lilies and orchids suffer from root rot, most maintainers choose to discard them directly. However, these symptoms often result from nutritional imbalances, and with the help of three special 'plant revival waters', scientific treatment can bring back vitality to the endangered plants. This article explains the key points in making and using three homemade nutrient solutions.
One, Beer Fermentation Liquid: Leaf Repair Expert
Nutritional Mechanism Analysis
Beer produced by malt fermentation is rich in amino acids (0.5-1g per liter), soluble sugars (about 4g/L), and elements like potassium (200-400mg/L), phosphorus (50-150mg/L). The low molecular weight organic acids can adjust the soil pH, and carbon dioxide can loosen compacted substrates.
Advanced Making Guide
Choose light beer with an alcohol content ≤4%, open the cap and let it sit for 48 hours to allow the alcohol to evaporate completely. Add EM bacteria at a 1:100 ratio, and ferment it at a 25°C environment for 15 days to get a liquid fertilizer containing active enzymes. Dilute it again to a 1:300 concentration before use, and supplement nutrients through both foliar spraying and root watering.
Two, Vitamin C Nutrient Solution: Root Activator
Scientific Proportioning Scheme
Dissolve 1 tablet (100mg) of vitamin C in 500ml of water, and add 5 drops of rice vinegar to aid dissolution. Store the solution away from light to avoid oxidation and use it immediately. This solution can neutralize chlorine residuals in tap water (can reduce 80% of chlorine), and its antioxidant properties can protect the tips of new roots.
Application Scenario Description
Especially suitable for newly potted plants (apply once a week), hydroponic plants (add at a 1:2000 ratio), and succulents (soak once a month). Note that acid-loving plants like camellias and azaleas can be increased to once every half month.

Three, Molasses Fermentation Liquid: Energy Supplement
Precise Blending Process
Mix brown sugar, fruit peels (banana peels are best), and water in a 1:3:10 ratio, and add a 5% fermentation agent. Open the cap to release gas daily, and continue fermenting for 20 days until a fruity aroma is produced. Rich in small molecule carbohydrates (glucose content reaches 12%), it can quickly replenish plant metabolic energy.
Usage Taboo Tips
Avoid using it in high temperatures (＞30°C) or low temperatures (＜15°C), and enhance ventilation after application. Not suitable for succulents, cacti, and dormant plants, as it can easily cause mold growth.
Scientifically formulated three plant revival waters can specifically solve more than 80% of home flower cultivation problems. It is recommended to alternate their use based on plant symptoms, and配合 appropriate light control (maintaining a light intensity of 20000-30000 lux), most yellow leaf and root rot issues can be significantly improved within 2-3 weeks. During maintenance, it is necessary to observe the growth of new leaves and adjust the application frequency in a timely manner.
