Many families often have expired pills left behind, and most people dispose of them by discarding them. However, if you have many flowers and plants in your home. You'll be amazed at how these tablets protect flowers, encourage root growth, kill pests and prevent yellow leaves.
First, amoxicillin, has a good effect in the treatment of rotten roots and rotten stems
Amoxicillin is our common anti-infective drug, if you have expired amoxicillin at home, you can try to use it to fertilize flowers. For example, when a plant has rhizome ulceration, it is usually due to an infection caused by a germ, and if you don't have bactericidal drugs such as carbendazim, mancozeb, etc., then amoxicillin powder is your savior. Sprinkle amoxicillin on the wound of the plant, which can effectively prevent bacterial infection and eliminate the problem of stem peeling.
For some plants that are prone to rot, as well as flowers that are prone to black and rot in summer, you can also sprinkle some amoxicillin in the pot when watering to help prevent the invasion of germs, and the effect is amazing.
2. Metronidazole tablets have a miraculous effect on preventing root rot of hydroponic plants
Metronidazole is a common anti-inflammatory drug, friends who keep a lot of hydroponic plants at home may encounter the root system turning black and rotten, and some serious conditions may lead to deterioration of water quality and foul odor, which greatly affects the home environment. At this time, if you have metronidazole tablets on hand, this problem will be solved.
When changing the water of the plant, half a tablet of metronidazole can be crushed into powder and sprinkled into a water bottle to dissolve the tablet. This prevents bacterial infections and rhizome rot. If the plant has rotten roots, you can take it out to dry, prune off the rotten roots, and then soak it in metronidazole solution, it can also play an anti-inflammatory and sterilizing role, and then replant it in a fresh water bottle.
3. Aspirin promotes the growth of plant roots
Many flower lovers will use aspirin when cutting plants or cultivating rich bamboo, because aspirin contains salicylic acid, which is a plant growth regulator, and the rooting agent we use also contains it. The use of aspirin can also help strengthen the root growth of the plant, increase its resistance, and promote its growth.
Aspirin can be used during cuttings to improve the survival rate of cuttings and the speed of rooting. When maintaining Fugui bamboo, you can sprinkle half a piece of crushed aspirin in the water bottle, which can also stimulate Fugui bamboo to take root quickly. If you have fresh cut flowers at home, you can also try to use expired aspirin to grind into powder and pour it into a vase, which will effectively extend the freshness of fresh cut flowers.
Fourth, vitamin B, which helps to improve the resistance of plants
If you have expired vitamin tablets at home, don't throw them away. Vitamins are also one of the trace elements needed for plant growth. Grinding vitamin B into powder and spraying it with water on the surface of flowers and plants can help plants improve their disease resistance and reduce the possibility of disease.
Plants that have just been potted can be soaked in vitamin B solution to help them destroy germs. If you find that the color of the flowers and plants is dull and dull, indicating that they are lacking in nutrients, you can spray the surface of the flowers with a vitamin B solution, which will not only make the pores on the surface of the plants clean, help with photosynthesis, but also make the flowers and leaves look more oily. When used, water and vitamin B are mixed in a ratio of 1:1000 or 1:1500 and it is ready to use.
Fifth, wind oil essence has a good insecticidal effect
In summer, we often use wind oil essence to repel mosquitoes, but in fact, wind oil essence is also very beneficial to raising flowers, it can also be used to repel insects and kill insects!
Usually about 500 ml of water droplets, a few drops of wind oil essence, stirring can be used to spray plant leaves and branches. In this way, it can prevent the infestation of small insects, such as red spiders, aphids, small black flies, etc., which are particularly afraid of wind and oil. Many flower friends have tried to use wind oil essence mixed with water to repel insects, and the effect is very good. For example, the commonly used garlic water, chili water and wind oil essence water also have similar effects.
However, these only have a dispersal effect on pests, and do not completely kill pests and diseases. If you want to prevent plant diseases, you can bury small white medicine in the pot in advance, and bury a spoonful in each pot to prevent the reproduction of various small insects and achieve the preventive effect.
For example, when maintaining succulents, you can also bury small white medicine in flower pots to prevent insects, or bury small powder medicine to prevent bacterial infections and prevent black rot. In general, prevention is always better than cure.
If you have these medicines at home, try using them to keep your flowers safe from pests and diseases and keep their leaves green.
