Can clivia really be watered with white liquor?
Today, the editor will explain some common knowledge about flower care, specifically the trivia about clivia. Can clivia really be watered with white liquor? If there are any mistakes, please feel free to correct them!
Sometimes, an action by one flower enthusiast can lead to imitation by more enthusiasts. For example, someone asked if clivia can be watered with white liquor. This question actually originated from an experiment by a few enthusiasts.
Watering clivia with beer (diluted 1:1 with water) has a certain effect in promoting blooming, but it should not be done frequently. Some enthusiasts thought that if beer can be used, perhaps white liquor can too. Under such circumstances, after watering with white liquor, the clivia seemed to grow well and even bloomed, leading some to believe it was due to the liquor. Many enthusiasts then eagerly started to imitate, but some things are merely coincidental.
The editor reviewed numerous enthusiasts and found only one case where an enthusiast claimed that watering clivia with white liquor was effective, while others who tried it said there was no effect.
Furthermore, regarding the components of white liquor, it is said online that: "White liquor is different from yellow wine, beer, and fruit wine. Apart from containing a very small amount of sodium, copper, and zinc, it virtually contains no vitamins and minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and iron, only water and ethanol (alcohol)."
By this point, we should be able to draw a conclusion that watering clivia with white liquor is not scientifically based, so enthusiasts should not pin too much hope on white liquor to make clivia grow robustly. It is better to focus on using fertilizers properly.
Of course, if enthusiasts really want to try watering clivia with white liquor, the editor will also mention the method that the effective enthusiast used. They suggested using about one small sake cup of white liquor, sprinkled on the surface of the soil, approximately every 20 days.
