Methods for using rice on plants
1- As a potting fertilizer
When you water the plant, the rice grains will begin to swell and release starch into the potting soil. Additionally, with each watering, the plant’s soil is inundated with the rice’s nutrients. To do this:
– Sprinkle the rice grains around the plant stems in a circular pattern.
– For more effective results, use a spoon to mix the rice into the soil on the surface.
– This way, the rice will be absorbed more slowly, allowing time for the starch to be released.
2- As a fast-acting fertilizer
This method is recommended for plants that need to recover nutrients quickly. Use it once a week for 15 days, and you will notice a noticeable difference in your plants’ growth.
– Fill with tap water until the bottle is full.
– Cover and stir to release the starch, then let it sit for half an hour. After this time, a white liquid remains, making it an excellent fertilizer for your plants.
– Irrigation: Make sure the rice at the bottom is well mixed with the soil to retain moisture.
3- Advantages of this rice method
Fertilizer is usually buried in the soil before planting because compost contains nutrients. This time, the nutrients are in the liquid, which aids infiltration into the soil and, therefore, promotes plant uptake.
