What are the methods of flower cultivation
Are you curious about the methods of flower cultivation and topics related to sharing techniques and essentials of flower planting, such as the experience of flower cultivation? These are great bits of knowledge, so it is recommended to save them for later!
Nowadays, in the era of the rapid development of the internet, even flower cultivation is no longer done as it used to be—behind closed doors in our own homes. Instead, a group of flower enthusiasts gather online to exchange and share their experiences and methods of flower cultivation, making it a very enjoyable hobby.
That's right, cultivating flowers is a process of continuous discovery and exploration. Only by learning good experiences and methods from others and then selecting the essence and discarding the dross according to one's own situation, can one grow better flowers. Today, I, Flower, would also like to share with you four practical methods that I find very useful in flower cultivation. Let's explore them together!
Method One: Wiping leaves with beer water
Many flower friends must have plants like epiphyllum and monstera in their homes. There is a trick to keeping the leaves of these plants lush and green for a long time. We can use beer to wipe the leaves or water the plants because beer contains a lot of carbon dioxide, which can promote plant metabolism and make the plants grow more vigorously.
Regularly wiping the leaves with a cloth soaked in beer water not only effectively removes dust from the leaves, allowing the plant to perform photosynthesis and respiration better, but also keeps the leaves green and glossy. However, I must remind everyone that before using beer to cultivate flowers, it must be diluted with water, otherwise, the heat in the beer can easily burn the leaves or roots.

Method Two: Using white vinegar to treat yellow leaves
Yellow leaves on carefully cultivated plants can be very frustrating for flower friends. Yellow leaves not only affect the ornamental value but also impact the healthy growth of the plants, so it is important to address the issue promptly. In fact, for plants that prefer acidic environments and have yellow leaves, a common household item like white vinegar can solve the problem effectively. By adding 500 times the amount of clear water to white vinegar and diluting it thoroughly, then spraying it on the leaves of the plant every two days, the leaves will regain their green color after a period.
For acid-loving plants like gardenia, jasmine, and camellia, we can also dilute white vinegar with 200 times the amount of clear water to water the plants. Doing this once a week can not only restore the green color to leaves that have turned yellow but also effectively regulate the soil's pH level. In a suitable soil environment, plants will naturally grow better, and the chance of yellow leaves will be smaller!
Method Three: Garlic to prevent pest damage
And if your plants at home suffer from pest damage, there's no need to worry. Crushing garlic and mixing it with 50 times the amount of water, then spraying this mixture on the underside of the plant's leaves can effectively prevent and control pests. Additionally, adding some laundry detergent to the mixed garlic water will enhance its pest control effectiveness. However, only freshly prepared garlic solution is effective in pest control; after some time, it loses its effectiveness.
