Is washing machine water good for plants

 


Is washing machine water good for plants? The main component of laundry detergent (including common daily detergents) is sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate and its auxiliary substances, which are easily soluble in water, and its aqueous solution has an alkaline reaction.

It is mainly touch-kill for pests and can inhibit the hatching of mite eggs. When laundry detergent is sprayed on the insects, it dissolves the wax on the insects and adheres to the insects, forming a film to occlude the stomata and suffocating the pests to death.

The water of laundry detergent has a good effect on the four major pests that often occur in household potted flowers, namely aphids, red spiders, whiteflies, and moths.

Some florists say you can mix one gram of laundry detergent with four hundred milliliters of water and then spray it on the leaves of the plant, once every two weeks, to kill the flies in potted plants.

If you use laundry detergent water to kill the insects, you should also pay attention to rinse off with water in time to do so.



PRACTICAL WASHING WATER WATERING FLOWERS NEED TO PAY ATTENTION

1. It is best to water flowers with laundry water after washing with neutral laundry detergent, or laundry water with three or more passages of water. In order to prevent the alkaline content of laundry detergent from causing burns to the young leaves of flowers.

2, after spraying with laundry water, if you find that the young leaves have burns, you should immediately spray water to rinse off the residual laundry powder.

3, different flowers use different concentrations, should first make a concentration test, and then spray.

4, laundry detergent water can not be directly watered flowers. Because laundry detergent water contains a large number of detergent components, it can damage the roots of flowers.

And the high concentration of the solution itself can cause root dehydration, the plant can not absorb the water in the soil, which will lead to the plant slowly withered.

5, laundry detergent is alkaline, with touch have a hot feeling, directly watering flowers, then irritation is very large, and the more you water the soil more alkaline. And most of the flowers like acidic soil, alkaline soil is very difficult to raise good flowers.

6, in general, the water containing chemical reagents can not water flowers, such as soap water, laundry detergent water; containing oil-water can not water flowers, such as dishwater, pot water, etc.


Of course, if you keep fish, then the water can be used to water flowers because the fish excrement contained in the water can be transformed into fertilizer for flowers and trees.

In addition, the fermented rice water, diluted beer, mosquito ash to water, etc. can also be watered ......

All these are very helpful to save water in life! ~
