You probably already know the trick of putting aspirin in flower water to keep them fresh longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, according to a study from the University of Rhode Island (USA), acetylsalicylic acid<\/strong> , i.e. aspirin ,<\/strong> is not only useful with cut plants, but can improve 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, spraying the solution on a group of plants every 3 weeks. At the end of the season, the plants treated with aspirin had grown more<\/strong> and were stronger, as they were more resistant to microorganisms and fungi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This treatment has proven even more effective on solanaceous plants such as potatoes and tomatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are various ways to harness the power of aspirin on plants<\/strong> , and we list 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. This action acts as a disinfectant, protecting the cuttings from mold and activating 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 overdo the quantities, as the plant could suffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To germinate seeds<\/strong> : Soak the seeds in the aspirin-water solution before planting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the soil<\/strong> : to avoid having to dilute 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 aspirin in flower water to keep them fresh longer.
