This is what happens if you put 1 teaspoon of baking soda on your plants.

Baking soda, commonly known as sodium bicarbonate, has long been touted as a versatile remedy for a variety of health problems, from soothing an upset stomach to treating a variety of health conditions. Beyond its health benefits, baking soda is also a potent household cleaning agent, capable of purifying numerous surfaces.

However, baking soda’s usefulness extends even further to the garden. It has significant fungicidal and insecticidal properties, making it an excellent choice for plant care.

As a Fungicide  : To combat fungal diseases, such as black spots on roses or prevent fungus on fruit trees, mix 4 tablespoons of baking soda with 3 liters of water and apply to the affected plants.

Strengthening plants  : Baking soda can improve photosynthesis, promoting stronger leaf growth. It is advisable to test the mixture on a small portion of the plant first: apply a little baking soda mixed with vinegar to a leaf and monitor the reaction for 24 hours.

Pest Control  : Spread baking soda around your garden by mixing one tablespoon with one quart of water and sprinkling it on the soil. This helps control soil-borne parasites.

Repel Insects  : Baking soda can also deter surface pests. Simply sprinkle baking soda directly on the floor to keep ants and roaches at bay.

Incorporating baking soda into your gardening routine can be a safe and effective way to protect and improve your plants.
