What should I do if the unfermented milk plants the flowers

Untermented milk can be used directly to water plants, but the amount should be controlled and frequent use should be avoided. Milk contains nutrients such as protein and calcium, which can provide certain nutrients for plants. However, unfermented milk may breed bacteria or attract pests due to spoilage, and long-term use can easily lead to soil compaction. If unfermented milk has been used to water plants, it is recommended to rinse the soil surface with clean water and observe whether the plants have abnormal phenomena such as yellow leaves and mold spots. Lactose and protein in milk decompose slowly in soil, which may attract pests such as aphids and ants to gather. Incomplete decomposition of organic matter can also form white clumps on the soil surface, hindering plant root respiration. For plants such as azaleas and gardenia that prefer acidic soil, the alkaline content of milk may alter the soil pH and affect growth. Short term use of small amounts of unfermented milk usually does not cause serious harm, but it is necessary to avoid direct watering on leaves or flowers to prevent residual milk stains from causing fungal infections. If a large amount of unfermented milk is misused, immediately rinse the soil with plenty of water to dilute it, and move the potted plant to a well ventilated area to accelerate water evaporation. For ground grown plants, the soil can be loosened and mixed with humus or vermiculite to improve air permeability. It is recommended to use fermented milk diluent instead, with a ratio of 1 part milk to 10 parts water, once a month, or choose professional organic fertilizer as a substitute. fermentation treatment can decompose large molecular substances, reduce the risk of pests and diseases, while retaining effective components such as nitrogen and phosphorus. In daily maintenance, plant nutrition supplementation should be based on the principle of balance. Except for milk, household kitchen waste such as rice washing water and skin enzymes should be fully fermented before use to avoid direct contact between fresh organic matter and roots. When observing the growth of plants, if there are persistent symptoms of fertilizer damage such as wilting and burnt edges of leaves, all fertilizers should be suspended and the surface soil should be replaced. For precious flowers or sensitive plants, it is recommended to prioritize the use of slow-release fertilizers or liquid flower specific fertilizers, and apply them according to the instructions.
