Shut up, add this to the plant: you will save a lot of money
By adding an ingredient to the calla plant we will save a lot of money: use this one.
In our homes we usually have plants on the balconies, but also inside our rooms as an ornament to the spaces to share with others or simply for our taste.
Many of these, in addition to giving off a pleasant aroma , are very useful since they tend to absorb the humidity present in our homes and therefore prevent the formation of mold and condensation.
Calla: characteristics and curiosities
In addition, keeping vigorous flowering plants on or near our balconies helps us encourage pollination by insects that can come visit us and help the planet.
There are many plants that are purchased for domestic use, among the most common are hydrangeas, mother-in-law’s tongue, pothos and calla lily , which is characterized by having large triangular leaves and is very easy to grow.
This plant has a flower that can also bloom in a pot, giving life to one of the most beautiful and well-known and is an evergreen plant, its name means beautiful, derived from the Greek term kalòs .
Its flower is called Lily of the Nile because it grows around the water currents found on the coasts of the rivers of South Africa and especially in the region of Egypt .
Always considered an elegant and refined plant, its flowers can last for many weeks even once cut and placed inside a vase , changing the water daily.
The leaves are robust and resistant and tend to have a waxy appearance, as does the flower that contains the spadix inside, which looks like a spike due to its shape.
Strong and vigorous call: the ingredient to use
Callas can also give life to colorful flowers whose flowering occurs around May-June until September while the bulbs go on sale between the beginning of September and the end of December.
To make this plant grow vigorously, it is advisable to water it daily, but not everyone knows that there is a special ingredient to make it more resistant and shiny.
It is rice water , which when placed in the soil tends to make the plant strong and solid, and passing this ingredient over the leaves will tend to maintain their waxy appearance and prevent them from yellowing .
To use it, simply soak the rice for a while until all the starch is released. Next, drain the rice by placing the water in a container.
Depending on the use, we can introduce the water directly into the soil or into a spray bottle to wash and leave the leaves of our calla bright and shiny, causing the envy of our neighbors.
This method can also be used for other types of plants of the same type, but it is always better to consult an expert or ask if rice water is useful for the plant on which we have decided to use it.
