It seems that aspirin is a panacea for plants, ideal for helping them in stressful situations. Let’s discover all the benefits.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Aspirin<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Even plants<\/strong> can experience stressful situations<\/strong>. Strong temperature variations<\/strong>, lack of proper care<\/strong> and the attack of parasites and insects<\/strong> can cause discomfort<\/strong> to our green friends. However, there is some interesting news<\/strong>. In fact, it seems that aspirin,<\/strong> the medicine we usually take for fever, headache, and cold, is also helpful for plants<\/strong>. How?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is aspirin good for plants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The active ingredient<\/strong> in the base of aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid, derived from the<\/strong> more well-known salicylic acid<\/strong>. This substance is already naturally present<\/strong> in plants, especially in the bark of willows<\/strong> and other trees. In addition, plants produce<\/strong> small amounts of salicylic acid<\/strong> in stressful<\/strong> situations . Helping plants with more <\/strong>salicylic acid<\/strong>, therefore helping to boost your immune system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do this, simply water the plants with an aspirin dissolved in a liter of water<\/strong>. What benefits will you get? Aspirin will increase the size and yield<\/strong> of your plants, make them more resistant<\/strong> to pest<\/strong> and disease<\/strong> attacks, and promote germination<\/strong>. But the beneficial effects of aspirin on plants do not end there, let’s look at others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Aspirin<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Aspirin for cut or transplanted flowers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The salicylic acid<\/strong> in aspirin is a strong rooting agent<\/strong>. Therefore, it is of great help in the case of transplanted plants<\/strong>, which are under severe stress. <\/strong>Therefore, by spraying a solution of water and aspirin on the roots<\/strong> of the plant to be transplanted, you will get more resistant and stronger roots<\/strong>. Aspirin is also helpful in delaying the wilting of cut flowers<\/strong>. In fact, to make them last longer, it is enough to dissolve half a tablet of aspirin in the vase<\/strong> full of water in which we keep the flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grow tomatoes and protect them from fungus.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It may seem strange, but aspirin is a great ally in growing tomatoes<\/strong>. In fact, the drug allows these vegetables to stay healthy<\/strong> and allows them to grow better<\/strong>, protecting them from disease<\/strong>. To achieve this, it is recommended to spray tomato plants<\/strong> with a solution of water and aspirin. <\/strong>Alternatively, you can use the same solution to dip the tomato seeds.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What if your plants are prone to diseases and fungi<\/strong>? The mixture of water and aspirin is also useful in preventing<\/strong> these types of diseases. In addition, if applied to burnt shoots<\/strong>, it helps to heal them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Side effects and precautions to take<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As with all medications, improper<\/strong> use of aspirin on plants could cause harm<\/strong>, so it’s important to exercise caution. For example, plants may begin to show burn<\/strong>, which manifests as brown spots on the leaves<\/strong>. To avoid this undesirable effect it is useful to spray the solution<\/strong> of water and aspirin first thing in the morning<\/strong>. This way, the leaves will dry out before dusk<\/strong> and the plant will be protected<\/strong> from burning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Again, watch out for bees and pollinating insects<\/strong>. These animals approach plants and the effect of aspirin could harm them<\/strong>. Therefore, in order not to stop using the drug, you can think of using it only on plants that you have at home<\/strong>, which therefore do not come into contact with insects. Alternatively, if you still want to use the water and aspirin mixture on plants that are outside,<\/strong> it’s best to get it right before the sun comes up<\/strong>. In fact, bees and insects often approach plants during the day<\/strong>, so using aspirin much earlier<\/strong> allows them to act.without damaging them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
