I think I once had a Clivia plant; a group of smokers gave their ash to it, and it grew very vigorously, but it never bloomed.
I also have a Clivia plant; its leaves are green and it’s growing well, but it doesn’t bloom either. Can cigarette ash be used as fertilizer? ?
Ash contains potassium, which should be good for orchids
Some smokers like to shake the ash from their cigarettes into flower pots while smoking. On the one hand, they do it to save trouble; on the other hand, they provide an explanation that ash is beneficial for plant growth in order to justify their actions. Is this approach really right? We know that ash can be regarded as the solid residue left after tobacco is burned, and this residue generally contains various elements that are beneficial to plant growth. From this perspective, shaking ash into the flower pot is beneficial for the growth of plants. However, to go back to the topic, ash contains a highly alkaline salt called potassium carbonate; if ash is constantly shaken into flower pots, plants that prefer acidic soil will not be able to survive as their soil gradually becomes alkaline ; If too much ash is placed in the flower pot, even plants that prefer alkaline soil can have their roots \"burned\" as the salts contained in the ash dissolve in large quantities. Therefore, to turn waste into a useful resource without harming the plants, the best approach is to collect ash in a bottle, add some water to it, and then adjust the pH value to neutral using phosphoric acid or hydrochloric acid. Cultivation results show that this treated ash solution is indeed a highly nutritious fertilizer for flowers.
Cultivate family smokers who smoke for the beauty of orchids. :lol
Unique perspective, but not recommended; P
