You probably already know the trick of putting an aspirin in flower water to keep them fresh longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But according to a study from the University of Rhode Island (USA), acetylsalicylic<\/strong> acid , i.e. aspirin<\/strong> , is not only useful for cut plants, but can also strengthen their immune system by making them grow bigger and stronger<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n The researchers dissolved 4 aspirin tablets in 4 liters of water and sprayed the solution on a group of plants every 3 weeks. At the end of the season the plants treated with aspirin had grown stronger<\/strong> and more vigorous as they were more resistant to microorganisms and fungi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This treatment has proven to be even more effective on nocturnal plant crops such as potatoes and tomatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are several ways to harness the power of aspirin for plants<\/strong> , and we’ve listed the best ones below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a rooting agent<\/strong> : soak the cuttings for 3-4 hours in distilled water with 1 aspirin. It has a disinfectant effect, protects cuttings from mold and activates growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a growth accelerator<\/strong> : dilute 1 aspirin in a liter of water and spray the solution on the plants every 3 weeks. Do not exaggerate with the quantities because the plant could suffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To germinate seeds<\/strong> : Soak the seeds in a solution of water and aspirin before planting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the ground<\/strong> : To avoid diluting the aspirin, you can place the tablets directly in the soil, about 15 cm from the plant, and then water regularly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You probably already know the trick of putting an aspirin in flower water to keep them fresh longer.
