Using These "3 Types" of Water to Water Plants
In home gardening maintenance, skillfully utilizing domestic waste to create natural nutrient solutions has become a new trend. This article will unveil the magical transformation effects of three common liquids, converting them into plant growth promoters through scientific fermentation processes, making green plant roots robust, leaves glossy, and achieving zero-cost efficient maintenance.
1. Beer Fermentation Liquid
The Transformation Process of Liquid Gold
Expired beer contains maltose, amino acids, and phosphorus and potassium elements, which are converted into a versatile nutrient solution after 15 days of double fermentation. Key operation: Open the lid and let it sit for 48 hours to volatilize alcohol → mix with water (1:20) and seal for fermentation → shake weekly to accelerate the reaction. The fermented solution can be combined with monopotassium phosphate, especially suitable for ornamental leaf plants, promoting the development of Monstera deliciosa aerial roots and making pothos stems grow 3-5 centimeters per day.
2. Vinegar Nutrient Solution
The Mystery of Acid-Base Balance
Rice vinegar contains acetic acid bacteria that can improve compacted soil, especially suitable for acid-loving plants such as gardenia and azalea. Key points for preparation: Use salt-free brewed vinegar → dilute with water at a ratio of 1:50 to activate activity → add orange peels for a second fermentation of 10 days. When used with ferrous sulfate, it can effectively prevent yellowing leaves, increasing the number of camellia buds by 40%, and should not be applied more than twice a month.
3. Rice Washing Water Ferment
The奇迹 of Starch Energy Transformation
The vitamin B complex and trace elements in the first batch of rice washing water produce growth promoters after fermentation with EM bacteria. Professional proportion: 500ml of rice washing water + 2g of brown sugar + 5 drops of lactic acid bacteria → ferment in a dark environment at 25℃ → complete when layering appears. Diluted 50 times for watering can make Chinese roses burst with sprouts, and combined with eggshell powder can enhance the thickness of clivia leaves. Note that the fermentation bottle needs to be vented daily to prevent explosion cracks.
The three ecological nutrient solutions each have their own characteristics: beer liquid promotes growth, vinegar liquid adjusts acid-base, and rice washing water supplements trace elements. It is recommended to alternate their use and combine with soil loosening to increase nutrient absorption rate by 70%. Mastering fermentation time and concentration control, home green plant maintenance can reduce the use of chemical fertilizers by 90%, achieving a win-win situation for environmental protection and plant flourishing.
