How to make homemade fertilizer for succulents with rice water
Rice water is rich in nutrients, which are also needed by plants. Today, I will teach you how to use rice water to make fertilizer for succulents. Let's take a look.
You cannot use rice water directly to water succulents. We need to ferment the rice water first, then it can be used. First, we put the collected rice water in a sealed container and place it in the sun to ferment. The higher the temperature, the faster the rice water ferments. During this period, you need to open the container from time to time to release gas to prevent the container from bursting. It usually takes about a month to ferment.
Rice water will produce an unpleasant smell during fermentation. We can put some orange or tangerine peels in the rice water to reduce the smell. After fermentation is complete, it needs to be diluted with water before watering succulents, as high concentration can burn the roots. The longer the fermentation time, the more water needs to be added for dilution. Also, don't water too frequently with rice water, generally once every two weeks is enough.
Succulents watered with rice water will grow very fast and easily produce side buds. At this point, they need more nutrients. You can water the succulents with diluted rice water every ten days or so, which will help them grow robustly.
The above is a comprehensive introduction to making homemade fertilizer for succulents with rice water, hoping to bring some knowledge about green plants to green plant enthusiasts.
