Can Bonsai Be Watered with Beer?
Today, I will introduce some common knowledge about caring for flowers, specifically regarding the question of whether bonsai can be watered with beer. If there are any mistakes, please feel free to correct them!
Before writing this article, let's talk about flower enthusiasts' love for beer. Some use beer to wipe the leaves of plants, while others consider using it to water their flowers. Of course, watering bonsai with beer is one such practice. Flower enthusiasts will think of any method to care for their plants.
As for whether or not bonsai can be watered with beer, I won't give a specific explanation. I will only provide my personal opinion from an objective perspective and list a few examples for flower enthusiasts to judge. Regarding whether beer can be used to water plants, those who think it can argue that beer contains malt and amino acids, which are good fertilizers. Those who believe it cannot do so because their plants died after being watered with beer.
Here's something to consider: although beer contains certain fertilizing effects, how much of it can plants absorb? Is it suitable for plant absorption? Many flower enthusiasts dilute beer to a certain ratio when using it to water their plants. If what is diluted is not beer but another liquid, such as liquor, the plant may not die. However, this does not mean that watering plants with beer is greatly beneficial. At least, no flower enthusiast or expert has conducted specific experiments to compare this. Moreover, flower enthusiasts do not need to use various methods to care for their plants, especially those with balconies, because using organic fertilizers can breed mosquitoes and produce odors.
Let's take a look at the experiences of flower enthusiasts online:
1. Sometimes I use leftover beer to water my plants. Last time, I watered my osmanthus with draft beer, and it died.
2. My dad once watered my mom's well-grown chili plants with beer, and they even bloomed. He only watered a little bit without diluting it. The next day, both pots died. My mom was very upset……
Ps: Dilution, as we mentioned earlier, even if you dilute gasoline, it may not necessarily kill the plant. This does not mean that the fertilizing effect of watering with beer is good.
3. For the past few months, I've been watering my fortune tree with opened beer that had been left for a few days, diluted with five times the amount of water, and new leaves have grown a lot, looking very robust.
4. When I spray beer diluted with water on the leaves of my fortune tree, it leaves a sticky residue, as if there's syrup on the leaves, attracting dust and looking ugly. Even after more than a month, there's no change, and the leaves don't absorb it.
5. The other day, after drinking too much with some friends, I watered my bonsai with beer, and now the leaves are turning yellow.
In summary, whether beer can be used to water plants or whether it is suitable for bonsai is something that flower enthusiasts should judge for themselves, as this is an issue without scientific basis on either side.
