What flowers are suitable for watering with beer
Core introduction to the main text: This section covers which flowers are suitable for watering with beer, focusing on the three plants that love beer the most - Disocactus Ackermannii, Sansevieria and Clivia Miniata. Detailed information will be shared next.
Disocactus Ackermannii, Sansevieria, and Clivia Miniata, although all have 'lan' in their names, they are not the same species. Disocactus Ackermannii belongs to the Cactaceae epiphytes and shares many growing habits with cacti, especially in drought resistance. The soil should not be dry before watering. The blooming period is around Christmas every year, hence it's also called the Christmas flower.
Sansevieria is a perennial succulent herb with upright leaves, resembling a sword emerging from nowhere, full of vitality and vigor, simple yet elegant. The last one, Clivia Miniata, also known as large leaf amaryllis, is a perennial herb with ornamental leaves and flowers, both beautiful, possessing high ornamental value and popularity, and is well loved.
But these three plants also have something in common; they are all fond of beer. During the growing period, feeding them beer once will make the leaves hard and full, grow more vigorously, and bloom more smoothly.
Why can beer be used to nourish plants? Senior gardening enthusiasts might understand this, but newcomers may not. Let me briefly introduce this. Beer is a fermented product and contains a lot of gas, which can loosen the soil, prevent soil compaction, and promote photosynthesis in plants. At the same time, it supplements nutrients and promotes growth.
The blooming period of Disocactus Ackermannii is not now, but at this time, special attention should be paid to its care because the blooming of Disocactus Ackermannii is affected by the leaves. If the leaves are thin and weak, it is difficult to produce flower buds. Only thick, full, and nutrient-rich leaves can provide nourishment for the flower buds and promote blooming. In spring, many Disocactus Ackermannii leaves are thin and dry, so it's advisable to add some beer when watering, pouring it into the flowerpot, which will make the leaves thick and juicy.
What flowers are suitable for watering with beer
Many people always complain that the leaves of their Clivia Miniata are not neat and symmetrical, and the color looks dim and lacks beauty. In this case, it is recommended to use beer to nurture it. After diluting the beer, soak a clean cloth in the diluted liquid, wring it slightly, and use it to wipe the leaves. The dust on the leaves will be removed, and some nutrients will be supplemented, promoting growth. Over time, the leaves will become bright and tidy.
When Clivia Miniata fails to bloom, you can also dilute the beer 80 times and pour it into the flowerpot. With night shading, it will soon grow a flower spike.
Sansevieria has a very strong vitality and is difficult to kill, but there are also cases where it doesn't grow well, such as appearing to be dead. At this time, stimulating it with beer can help. After diluting the beer, pour it directly into the flowerpot to supplement nutrients, stimulate the roots, and promote germination, making it grow more vigorously.
Of course, this diluted solution can also be used to wipe the leaves because they are long and wide. Wiping them with beer will also make them look brighter and more ornamental.
