What to add to water for indoor flowers: will become healthier and grow better

Tap water is not of the best quality, especially in big cities. Experienced florists note that it can negatively affect the growth and development of indoor plants.

Tap water has a lot of metal residues, which are really harmful to flowers and the root system. What can be added to water for watering potted plants, figured out OBOZREVATEL.

If you want to grow healthy and lush houseplants, experts advise to try a few tips. Simple natural ingredients can even prolong the flowering period.

The first and effective ingredient is apple cider vinegar. Some users of social networks note that you can also use ordinary table vinegar, but it is still better to buy apple cider vinegar.

We add a few drops (optimally 3-5, but no more than 10) of apple cider vinegar to the water for watering and water the roots of indoor plants.

Lemon juice can also be used as an effective substitute. The procedure is similar: a few drops per standard dose of water when watering.

Note, however, that you can only use these tips if the plants are loyal to acidic soil and do not require exclusively neutral pH conditions. For finicky flowers, you can simply take cooled boiled water.

By the way, spring and early summer is the perfect period for transplanting houseplants. To do this is very simple: you just need to remove the old soil, place the roots on a hill of fresh soil and top up the soil. How to feed your houseplants when transplanting - read in this material.
