Family potted flowers often need fertilization, but fertilization will inevitably bring some unpleasant smell. Here are some ways to avoid or remove the peculiar smell of fertilizer.

The first kind of rice vinegar:

When applying fertilizer to flowers, a few drops of rice vinegar should be properly dripped into the liquid fertilizer to eliminate the stink of the liquid fertilizer. Because rice vinegar is weak acid, it can neutralize the smell produced by some putrefactive substances in the liquid fertilizer.

The second one is orange peel.

Put some orange peel (fresh or air dried) into the fermented fertilizer water to ferment the orange peel and fertilizer together. Using a large amount of essential oil contained in orange peel can reduce the stench of liquid fertilizer, and orange peel fermentation is also a good flower fertilizer.

Third liquor application:

Flower farmers often say that "pot pouring fat water taste strong, add some liquor smell out." That makes sense. When applying fertilizer, adding some white spirit in the fertilizer can clear off the peculiar smell obviously. In addition, flower friends can also make some fertilizer without peculiar smell at home.

The fourth way to use bean cake: ԡ

It is a good organic fertilizer and will not bring bad smell after application.

The fifth is to use bone crusher:

Many flower breeders use the broken bones of chickens and ducks as flower fertilizer. The specific method is to soak the bone for a day or two to remove the salt, then add water to the pressure cooker to make it crisp, stir it into a paste and take it out, then add 20% fine sand or cinder ash into it, mix it evenly, cover the contents with a layer of dry fine soil, sprinkle some insecticides, and then cover it to keep it loose and moist. After two or three months, the fertilizer has fully rotted, with good fertilizer effect and no stink. Taste.

The sixth use retting to make fertilizer:

Many flower growers will collect all kinds of peel and green vegetable leaves and put them into small tanks, then add some water and a proper amount of black alum, let them fully ferment and mature, and then open the lid for a few days. The self-made fertilizer is not only odorless, but also suitable for the growth of common potted flowers such as azalea, gardenia and jasmine.

The seventh one is yoghurt water and eggshell fertilizer.

Wash the washing water and broken eggshell of the sour milk bottle (box) with rice washing water, and then put them together for retting for 7 to 10 days, which can become a kind of flower fertilizer with complete nutrients. Using it to water flowers has high efficiency and no odor.


Flower friends who don't have time to make fertilizer by themselves can take the following measures to reduce peculiar smell when using ordinary liquid fertilizer.

1. Skillful application of liquid fertilizer:

Before applying fertilizer, reduce the amount of water to dry the basin soil, and then apply fertilizer outdoors in the evening. Because the dry soil will accelerate the absorption of fertilizer solution and reduce the exposure time of fertilizer solution. Therefore, after the fertilizer solution seeps into the basin soil, a small amount of clear water can be poured again, and the residual fertilizer solution on the surface can be evenly washed into the lower soil, so as to eliminate the odor of fertilizer. Even if a small amount of fertilizer is still left on the basin soil surface, the odor can be greatly reduced after volatilization overnight.

2. Earth covering after construction:

Put some fertilizer with strong odor in the container and seal it. After fermentation and decay, dilute it with water for about 10 times. After application, a layer of prepared fine soil is covered on the surface of the basin to prevent the odor from volatilizing and maintain the fertilizer effect.
