What effect does vinegar have on flowers?

Vinegar is a common condiment in life, while flowers can purify the ecological environment and beautify our life.

Have you ever thought about the relationship between vinegar and flowers? We explored the subject with curiosity. According to people who have rich experience in planting flowers, applying some vinegar on potted flowers can improve the growth of potted flowers and increase flowers, which are bright and leafy. We soon confirmed this in the experiment.

Do different concentrations of vinegar have different effects on flowers? This is the second stage of our experiment. We select four pots of gypsophila paniculata, primrose and Chinese rose with the same growth and divide them into four groups. Each group (three pots) has three kinds of flowers, which are numbered and labeled respectively. At the same time, we prepared edible white vinegar into three solutions with different concentrations: 1% (pH 2~3), 0.0 1% (pH ≈4) and 0.000 1% (pH ≈6), and sprayed vinegar on three groups of potted flowers once a day, while the fourth group did not. Observe and record the growth of flowers every five days.

The results of this experiment are as follows: spraying low concentration vinegar (pH ≈6) has no obvious effect on these flowers; The flowers sprayed with moderate concentration of vinegar (pH ≈4) are obviously better than other groups, with more buds, earlier flowering, richer colors and longer flowering period. Spraying high concentration vinegar with pH value of 2-3 will make the flowers wither prematurely.

Through this experiment, we can tell you that spraying vinegar properly when planting flowers can make flowers grow better. But to master the concentration of vinegar, excessive acetic acid will harm flowers.
