In family life, rice water is often thrown away after each cooking. However, rice water contains many vitamins and minerals that are beneficial for plant growth.
According to some experiences, rice water can be used to optimally water green plants thanks to nutrients such as vitamin B, a small amount of starch and trace minerals. If used properly, this will be a natural "fertilizer" to help plants grow greener.
However, to achieve effectiveness, rice water should be depositioned for a few hours or diluted before watering to avoid fermentation causing odor or damaging plant roots. Do not use rice water that has been left for too long or shows signs of sourness, as this can harm the growth of the plant.
In addition, the frequency of use also needs to be noted. Rice water should only be watered about 1-2 times a week, interspersed with clean water to ensure that the plant is not "overloaded" with nutrients. For indoor plants, moderate watering also helps limit mold and insects.
Taking advantage of rice water not only helps plants grow better but also contributes to avoiding waste in daily life. From small habits in the kitchen, each family can move towards a green, clean, sustainable and environmentally friendly lifestyle.
