In flower cultivation, vinegar plays an invaluable role. Spraying an appropriate amount of vinegar solution can make the flowers grow vigorously, with more and brighter flowers, especially having a miraculous effect of reviving flowers that are not growing well.
Treatment for chlorosis.
Many flowers, such as camellias, azaleas, and ornamental foliage plants, often turn yellow due to a lack of iron, high pH of the potting soil, or poor management. In such cases, you can use 10 grams of vinegar mixed with 3 liters of water and spray the foliage of the plant before 10 am and after 4 pm. Spraying once every 10 days for 4 to 5 times can turn the leaves from yellow to green.
Promoting plant growth.
Using a 300-fold vinegar solution and spraying the whole plant before the camellia bud formation, once every 15 days, can increase the leaf size by 0.2 to 0.4 centimeters, increase the number of flowers by 8%, and increase branching by 20%. Using a 150 to 2000-fold vinegar solution to water the flowers can overcome physiological diseases caused by the potting soil being too alkaline.
Enhancing disease resistance.
For diseases such as powdery mildew on roses, black spot on azaleas, and soot blight on roses and peonies, once discovered, spraying with a 150-fold vinegar solution three times can effectively control them. Spraying vinegar also has a certain therapeutic effect on diseases such as downy mildew and leaf spot on flowers.

① Good quality edible vinegar must be selected, and industrial vinegar or spoiled vinegar must not be used;
