If you prefer a liquid fertilizer that can be applied easily with a spray bottle, you can use rice water instead. This method extracts the beneficial properties of rice into water, creating a nutrient-rich solution that’s easy for plants to absorb.
Here’s how to make it:
Fill a glass or bowl halfway with uncooked rice.
Add water until the rice is completely covered.
Stir it gently for a few seconds to release the starch.
Let the mixture sit for about 30 minutes.
Strain the liquid to separate the rice from the water.
The resulting milky rice water is rich in minerals and vitamins. Pour it into a spray bottle and use it to mist your plants — both the leaves and the soil.
Alternatively, you can pour the water directly onto the soil, just like you would when watering. This will enrich the soil naturally, stimulate root growth, and promote flowering.
Why Rice Works So Well
Rice contains carbohydrates, amino acids, and small traces of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium — the three key elements found in commercial fertilizers. These nutrients help plants in several ways:
Nitrogen promotes lush green foliage.
Phosphorus supports strong root development and flowering.
Potassium enhances overall vitality and disease resistance.
When absorbed by the soil, these nutrients help your plants grow stronger, more resilient, and capable of blooming more frequently — even outside their typical growing season.
