🪴 How to Use Baking Soda on Your Plants (So Easy!)

Here’s your quick & easy recipe:

🌿 Basic Solution:
Mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 1 gallon of water.

✔️ To water the soil:

Pour the mixture around the base of your flowering plants every 2 weeks.

✔️ To spray the leaves (foliar spray):

Pour it into a spray bottle and lightly mist your plant’s leaves. This helps prevent and treat common fungal problems.

⏱ Pro tip: Spray in the morning or evening — never in the heat of the day to avoid leaf burn.

⚠️ A Few Words of Caution

Too much of a good thing can turn sour — even baking soda! Here’s how to keep things balanced:

Don’t overdo it. Start small and only treat every 2 weeks.
Always check your soil pH. Aim for slightly alkaline for most flowering plants (around 6.5–7.5).
Avoid treating on super sunny days.
Skip it if your flowers already love acidic soil (like azaleas or rhododendrons).

🌺 Final Thoughts: A Blooming Good Trick!

Baking soda is more than a kitchen must-have — it’s a garden game-changer. By tweaking soil pH and fighting off pesky fungi, it helps your flowers shine their brightest.

So the next time you’re baking muffins, save a little soda for your begonias! Your garden will thank you. 🌼🌿✨
