The Main Mistake When Using Rice Water

Pouring rice water directly into a flower pot is the worst thing you can do.

As a result of such an action, the roots of the plants can be burned and an unpleasant odor can appear.

How to water plants correctly

First of all, it is worth remembering that rice water can only be used to water those plants that like acidic soil.

To do this, you need to fill a plastic bottle with it and leave it in the sun for 15 days.

Every two days, unscrew the bottle cap to ventilate, and after fermentation, the fertilizer should be diluted with water and only then can it be used for watering.

How to Store Rice Water

The storage methods for fermented and unfermented rice water are no different - it should be kept in the refrigerator.
