Plants, forget water: water them with vinegar: it’s miraculous what happens!
Does white vinegar have the ability to keep flowers fresh?
Well, yes! White vinegar, in addition to removing the oxide on garden tools (just soak them for a couple of hours in vinegar), keeps flowers fresh much longer, even when they are cut. Simply pour one teaspoon of sugar and two tablespoons of vinegar into a container of water and you’re done.
To water the plant, on the other hand, we only need to add a teaspoon of vinegar to a liter of water. In this way we will be able to prevent the appearance of mold.
On the other hand, if we want to get rid of dry leaves, we will simply spray it on the leaves.

Yes, vinegar also helps to regulate the pH of the soil. This feature of it especially helps plants such as gardenias, ficus Elastica and hydrangeas plants that are therefore acidic.
What other benefits can our indispensable white vinegar give plants?

All you have to do is wet a microfiber cloth with a mixture made of one part vinegar and two parts water and wipe it over the leaves. They will become super shiny!
On the other hand, if we want to germinate our seeds in a healthy and fast way, we simply have to soak them overnight in a bowl of water. Be should be sure to add 5 to 8 drops of white vinegar to the water. The seeds will germinate in no time.
Before I conclude, I will let you in on a little secret that is useful for those who share an apartment with cats and dogs.
Vinegar also has the function of keeping our animals away. All it will take is to place a cloth previously dipped in vinegar next to the plant pots. The smell, unbearable for them, will drive them away in no time.
