The Wonders of Garlic
The editor answers questions for netizens about the knowledge of fruits, vegetables, and garlic, the wonders of garlic. Let's learn about it together next.
1. Promoting Germination:
Peel and mash the garlic, mix it with cool water in a 1:3 ratio, and apply it to the germination of玉兰, osmanthus, camellia, wintersweet, etc. It can promote germination 5-7 days earlier. Applying it to the cut ends caused by pruning flowers can prevent the cut ends from drying out and promote even germination.
2. Preventing Rot:
After the stem part of woody flowers like purple waxbush and forsythia dries and rots, use a sharp knife to flatten it, reaching the xylem. Cut the healthy skin around the bacteria into a smooth oblique surface at a 60-degree angle, preferably exposing the yellow-green cambium layer. Rub the wound directly with a garlic clove and let it adhere to a layer of garlic mucilage. Apply once every 7-10 days to act as a preservative, which works better in the summer.
3. Controlling Aphids:
Mash the garlic, mix it with 1 part water, then add 50 parts water, stir well, and use it as needed. Spray evenly on the back of the flower leaves to effectively control flower aphids. If you add an appropriate amount of soybean powder or laundry detergent as an adhesive, the effect is better.
4. Preservative and Freshness:
Mash the garlic and soak it in water for 12 hours, then boil it with the water, cool it down, and filter it to make a garlic extract. Soaking cut flowers in a 10% garlic extract for 10-20 seconds can extend the blooming period of the flowers.
