Many housewives only wash the rice before cooking porridge so that it becomes crumbly.

However, it is also worth dipping buckwheat, millet, and other grains in water - who knows where they had to go before they ended up on your table?

Moreover, there is also a useful use for the water in which the grains were recently “floating”.

It turns out that it can be used as a natural fertilizer for indoor plants.

Since the water after rinsing the cereals is enriched with silicon, phosphorus, magnesium and iron, it is not surprising that it will benefit begonias and cacti.

But even in this case, there are several important rules: if the flower was transplanted into new soil, at least 2 months must pass before using such feeding.

Do not forget to water the plant with regular water before applying the fertilizer – this way the concentrated composition will not be able to harm it.

Finally, it is worth taking into account the fact that indoor flowers do not need feeding all year round, but only in spring and summer.
