Fish tank water can be used to water flowers?

Fish culture should often change the water for the fish tank, if it is too wasteful to pour it directly, watering the flowers is the king!

1. Adjust the acidity and basicity of soil.

The water of fish culture is slightly acidic, with a ph value of about 6, which is good for plants that like slightly acidic soil, such as green pineapple, copper money grass, tortoise back bamboo, white palm, hanging orchid, daffodils, hyacinth and so on.

2. Provide nutrients and fertilizers

The water in the fish tank contains nitrate, nitrite, ammonia nitrogen, fish excretion and other substances, which can provide nutrients for plant growth.

What should I pay attention to when watering flowers with fish tank water?

1. Leave it for a while before watering the flowers

There is a certain temperature difference between the water in the fish tank and the potted soil in summer. It is best to put the water in the fish tank for a day or two and use it to water the flowers after the temperature is restored to room temperature, so as not to affect the growth of the plant.

2. Fertilizer control

Fish culture water contains certain nutrients, plants in the vigorous growth period, we must reduce fertilization, so as not to cause excessive growth.

3. This kind of fish water can't be watered.

If there is disinfectant salt or other fish medicine in the water of the fish tank, do not use it to water the flowers, otherwise it will cause the plants to dehydrate and dry up.

How to grow flowers and fish at the same time?

1. Container selection

It is best to choose a water culture bottle with a planting basket, the space is larger, and the water level is higher when releasing water, leaving enough room for the fish.

Of course, conditional can buy a larger fish tank, equipped with water circulation pump, large space, but also can raise tropical fish, aquatic plants, etc., higher ornamental value.

2. The choice of fish

As space is limited, oxygen and other nutrients in the water are also limited, so we must choose small fish, the number can not be too many, 1-3 can, otherwise it is not easy to survive.

3. Plant selection.

First of all, hydroponic plants should be non-toxic. Dripping Guanyin, a poisonous flower, is not suitable for water-cultured fish. if the juice on leaves drips into the water, it will not only damage the roots, but also poison small fish; alkaline-loving plants are not suitable either.

4. Water treatment

The tap water at home must be dried for a day or two before it can be used. Chlorine in the water is not good for fish and plant roots, which can easily lead to death. In summer, water must be changed frequently to keep the water clean.

5. Stop feeding fish feed

The rotten roots, old roots and residual roots of hydroponic plants and the original microorganisms in the water are enough for small fish to maintain life, and there is no need to feed, otherwise it is easy to pollute the water quality.
