Baking soda is of great use? Then it saves money by planting flowers and fertilizers.

In addition to the routine planting and maintenance of flowers and plants, our daily life experience has also given us a lot of help in growing flowers. For example, rice water, beer can water flowers, traditional Chinese medicine residue, walnut shell can be used as fertilizer and plant material, and so on. It is a particularly good thing to use what is readily available in life to help us grow and maintain, and in addition to the above, today we will also recommend a "artifact" to you, which can be used to grow flowers. It is the baking soda that we often use. Let's take a look at it.

Baking soda has many benefits, especially growing flowers:

Adjust soil pH:

The first advantage of baking soda in flower cultivation is that it can adjust the acidity of the soil. Many people think that making the soil acidic and helping to grow flowers, but you don't know, not all flowers like acid, such as cactus, begonia do not like acid, and they like the soil is somewhat alkaline. Especially "Hydrangea", if you want it to bloom into red petals, it is better to have alkaline soil. At this time, the effect of baking soda appears, take a little baking soda (about 50 grams) and mix it with 4L of water, the resulting solution can be used to water flowers can effectively adjust the pH.

Rare deodorant:

In home planting, we often use some organic fertilizer or compost made by ourselves. These fertilizers are effective and can make the flowers more beautiful, but on the other hand, they are also really uncomfortable in terms of taste. especially in the period of poor ventilation, the use of fertilizer will not only make you suffer from strange smells, but also may disturb your neighbors. Using baking soda can effectively alleviate the qualification problem, adding some baking soda to the compost can effectively remove the odor, and of course the fermentation speed will be much faster!

A sharp weapon for killing bacteria and insects:

One of the major enemies of flower growth is a variety of insect pests, such as our common ants, slugs, snails and red spiders, etc., usually we use pesticides to deal with them, but pesticides may cause some harm to us, especially if we have children or pets at home. Baking soda can solve this problem. Sprinkle baking soda directly into a flowerpot, and slugs and snails will die of dehydration after eating it. Mix baking soda with powdered sugar and put it in a flowerpot. When the ants get bored, they will die from eating the mixture, thus achieving the effect of clearing the ants.

Of course, in addition to this use, we can also mix baking soda on the leaves, can also effectively kill a variety of pests that eat leaves, saving us the cost and insecurity of pesticides.

A good hand at sterilization:

With disinfestation, how can there be less sterilization? Baking soda also has a good performance in this respect, its use method is similar to insecticidal, divided into irrigation method and spray method, the former can directly act on the germs in the soil, while the latter can be aimed at leaves and create a sterile growth environment, if your pot plant is affected by disease, then maybe baking soda can help you!
