There are 10 cigarette butts and a bottle of mineral water in the flowerpot.

In the flower friends, I do not know if there is such trouble, now the weather is hot, flowerpots often fly a lot of small flying insects, not only affect the ornamental value, but also look very dirty. Every time the bug is fanned away with a fan, it will fly back and lie down in the basin soil, or even on the leaves. Use insecticide, and afraid to kill the potted flowers, I really don't know what to do.

In fact, there are many tricks to solve the problem of flying insects, such as using diluted detergent shared by flower friends and pouring it in flowerpots. However, this method is very dangerous, if the washing powder is not diluted well, it is easy to burn the roots of the plant. Today we would like to share a technique recommended by many florists, that is, to water the flowers with cigarette butt water.

Why can cigarette butt water drive away small flying insects?

First of all, tobacco leaves contain nicotine, that is, nicotine, which gives off a pungent smell of tobacco. When the cigarette butts are soaked in water, the irritating ingredients in them will be further decomposed, although they can not kill small flying insects, but they can drive them away. A few days ago, a flower friend left me a message saying that because he did not smoke, he specially went out to the street to pick up dozens of cigarette butts and went home to use them in potted plants, which was very effective.

Cigarette butts water watering flowers to prevent insect pests is also fastidious.

First of all, prepare dozens of cigarette butts, then find a mineral water bottle, fill them with water, put them in the shade for three to five days, and then use them. However, the pungent smell of this liquid is relatively strong, so it is recommended to add a little orange peel or grapefruit peel to the mineral water bottle. When watering the flowerpot, remember to dilute it first, diluting 1 part of cigarette butt water to 20 parts of water.

In addition to watering flowers, cigarette butt water can also filter out cigarette butts and spray liquid directly on the leaves of potted flowers, especially succulent plants, which are most likely to have small flying insects. However, succulent plants are relatively delicate, so before spraying leaves, the dilution ratio should be larger, generally 1 part of cigarette butt water to 50 parts of water.

This method is suitable for most plants and flowers. But there is one kind of plant that cannot be used, and that is asparagus. Asparagus uses cigarette butt water, the leafy branches will dry up, so remember ha. All plants except asparagus can be used!

So much for the prevention and control of small flying insects in flowers. Thank you for your reading!
