Active use of hydrogen peroxide for plants in the room, garden and vegetable garden
Recently, the use of hydrogen peroxide for plants has caused a stir among summer residents. Previously, the substance was used for medicinal and domestic purposes. It never occurred to anyone to water indoor flowers or vegetables in the garden with this liquid. Nobody tried to disinfect the planting material or fertilize the soil. Or maybe pest control? In-depth studies of the drug have shown that the substance really stimulates the development of indoor, garden and garden plants. Find out what the experts are saying.
The real application of hydrogen peroxide to plants
Practice has shown that the substance has a number of properties:
- antiseptic;
- cleansing;
- disinfecting;
- healing.
Hydrogen peroxide is not considered a toxic substance. However, too high a concentration level can harm both plants and the person himself.
Therefore, all procedures are performed according to generally accepted rules that have been tested by scientists.
Soil saturation with oxygen
The chemical composition of the soil plays a key role in the successful development of various crops. Therefore, agronomists use additional substances containing valuable components. The most affordable option for ordinary summer residents is to treat the earth with hydrogen peroxide before planting. The substance is purchased from a pharmacy, and then a solution is prepared. Pour 20 ml of the preparation into 1 liter of pure water. Mix well and immediately treat the soil abundantly.
The drug improves the quality of the soil in such a relationship:
- saturates with oxygen;
- kills harmful microorganisms;
- increases the acidity level of the substrate.
The concentration of valuable components has a beneficial effect on the development of the root system of plants. Thanks to the abundance of oxygen in the soil, they grow faster and bear fruit. Treating the substrate for growing indoor crops protects against diseases and all kinds of fungi.
The composition must be done immediately before use. Otherwise, the additional dose of oxygen will quickly evaporate.
Disinfection of seed
The presence of all kinds of pathogenic fungi and viruses in the atmosphere causes concern among gardeners. Invisible individuals are constantly looking for their habitat, which brings irreparable harm to plants. Therefore, gardeners use hydrogen peroxide to disinfect vegetable seeds in order to regulate the rate of their development.
24 hours before planting, the planting material is disinfected using such a composition:
- water (0.5 l);
- 3% hydrogen peroxide solution (1 tablespoon).
The solution is mixed well and poured into a wide container. Seeds are dipped into it for about a day. Fresh liquid is prepared every 4 hours. Otherwise, the planting material will deteriorate.
The procedure for disinfecting inoculum is best carried out in a glass container. Metal cookware oxidizes quickly.
Spraying and soaking the root system
Using hydrogen peroxide in your vegetable garden can help increase vegetable yields. The process begins with soil treatment. Then the seeds are disinfected. The next step is to spray the root system of the seedlings. Processing is carried out immediately before planting in open ground. The solution is prepared according to this proportion: add 3 ml of hydrogen peroxide to 1 liter of water. Seedlings are dipped in liquid for a day. Thanks to this, the roots are saturated with oxygen and quickly adapt to the new bed.
A similar procedure is carried out for rooting cuttings. However, the solution is prepared using a different formula. For 1 liter of water, 1 teaspoon of the drug is required. After a daily exposure, the sprouts are thoroughly dried. And then, they are planted in a permanent place.
Hydrogen peroxide reliably protects cuttings from rot, which easily attacks weak plants.
Cheap feeding is always at hand
Lush flower beds and lush vegetable beds never miss an extra dose of nutrients. To use hydrogen peroxide as a fertilizer, a simple composition is prepared. A tablespoon of oxygen liquid is poured into 1 liter of pure water. The resulting preparation is thoroughly shaken and immediately introduced into the soil. Due to the abundance of oxygen, which came from an artificial source, flowers and vegetables better absorb valuable trace elements from the soil.
A few drops of hydrogen peroxide will remove chlorine from the tap water. The resulting liquid is used for watering indoor plants.
Healing irrigation of lush greenery
It is believed that heavy downpours with thunderstorms fill the fertile land with nitrogen. Unfortunately, indoor flowers cannot use such a service of nature. Experienced flora lovers have found a wonderful way to solve the problem. Regular watering of indoor plants with hydrogen peroxide stimulates their growth and development. And, of course, it protects against pests and diseases.
The healing composition is prepared from components:
- hydrogen peroxide (50 ml);
- clean water (1 l):
- medical alcohol (2 tablespoons);
- liquid detergent (2-3 drops).
The ingredients are shaken well in the bottle. They put a spray bottle on it and abundantly spray the flowers that grow on the windowsills with hydrogen peroxide. Once on the foliage, oxygen molecules stimulate the active growth of indoor crops. For watering the substrate, a "preparation" is suitable, consisting of 1 liter of water and 2 tablespoons of the substance. Plants are protected from pests using a composition that is prepared from 100 ml of hydrogen peroxide, 2 liters of water and 100 g of granulated sugar. The "crown" of indoor green spaces is thoroughly sprayed with a healing liquid.
The same composition is used for spraying garden flowers in an open flower bed.
Vegetables and hydrogen peroxide
When various diseases affect fruit plants dear to the heart, they turn into a sad sight. For treatment, one does not always want to use strong chemicals. Many gardeners have found an alternative way. The active use of hydrogen peroxide for plants has helped to save a huge number of fruit crops.
For example, tomatoes protect against late blight with a solution consisting of pharmaceutical preparations:
- hydrogen peroxide 3% concentration (2 tablespoons);
- tincture of iodine (40 drops);
- water at room temperature (10 l).
The composition is prepared first in a spacious container. Then it is poured into a spray bottle. Abundant spraying of plants with hydrogen peroxide mixed with iodine is carried out several times throughout the growing season.
Practice has shown that a similar composition will also protect bell pepper bushes from serious infections.:
- bacterial spotting;
- blackleg;
- late blight.
If necessary, a drug is prepared to prevent vegetable crops from fungal infections. 10 liters of water are poured into an enamel or plastic bucket. Add 1 glass wood ash... Insist 2-3 days, then filter. One tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide is poured into the resulting liquid. Stirred and immediately used to treat the ground part of the plants
H₂O₂ for the garden
An extremely simple preparation will help protect fruit crops from worms and scale insects.
It is made from 3 components:
- water (bucket);
- hydrogen peroxide (30 ml);
- vodka (2 tablespoons).
The resulting composition is abundantly irrigated with fruit trees and berry bushes. In a similar way, hydrogen peroxide is used against aphids, which destroys the leaf plates of plants. "Insecticide" is prepared according to this recipe. On 1 liter of water put 50 g of granulated sugar and 50 ml of pharmaceutical hydrogen peroxide. All visible greens of the affected culture are thoroughly sprayed with the liquid. The procedure is repeated several times a week until the insects disappear completely.
As you can see, the use of hydrogen peroxide in horticulture, in the garden and for indoor plants leads to wonderful results. Bountiful harvests are removed from fruit crops. Vegetables are not susceptible to fungal diseases. Indoor flowers look 100%. Let's not forget about the additional dose of oxygen hidden in the pharmaceutical hydrogen peroxide solution.
