Indeed, rice cooking water, once filtered and cooled (especially without salt!), is full of essential nutrients: magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, folate, B vitamins… lots of little treasures that your plants will want to soak up. The result? Greener leaves, brighter flowers, and renewed growth.
How to use it to avoid making mistakes?
It’s as easy as making a tea. Just cook white rice (no salt or oil added), collect the cooking water, let it cool to room temperature… and use it to hydrate.
Once a week you can pour this water directly onto the soil in the pot. There is no point in overdoing it: as always, moderation is key. And you will see the difference in just a few weeks!
A little addition that changes everything
In addition to being natural water, it is also great for the care of the most popular houseplants: golden epipremnum, spathiphyllum, fig, orchids… They can all benefit from the benefits of this mineralized water. And since it costs nothing, you can use it regularly without worrying about unbalancing your budget.
So next time you cook rice, think about this: it’s not just a culinary addition, it’s also a plant elixir at your fingertips!
