Every summer, many flower friends turn on the air conditioner in their homes, and the condensed water can hold a bucket a day. Many flower lovers want to know, can air-conditioned water be used to water flowers?
An expert from the LA Water Quality Monitoring Center, after hearing this question, his first reaction was: this kind of water must not be drunk. He said that the condensed water is water produced through the condenser, and the condenser itself is not clean, so the water flowing down from it must not meet the standard for microorganisms. If the amount of condensed water is large, you can clean it, flush the toilet, and use it all at once.
Environmentalists told me that a 1-hp air conditioner can discharge 1 liter of condensed water every two hours during cooling or dehumidification at room temperature. The PH value of the air conditioning condensate is neutral soft water, which can be used for domestic washing water, and it is very suitable for growing flowers and fish, and it is not easy to produce alkali when used for bonsai.
After reading the expert’s answers, I believe that many flower lovers are eager to try, so let’s take a look at what other flower lovers think about watering flowers with air conditioning:
simme: It can be watered. I threw the gardenia under the drip tube, and it can grow well in one summer. Even a mosquito repellent plant can grow very well. I have let go of gardenia, spider plant, jasmine, and mosquito repellent. There is also Yuxun, but Yuxun can’t stand long-term humidity, and spider plant and gardenia can grow well. The discharged water has a low temperature, which can cool the plants in summer.
Andy: There are two big iron trees in my house. One is under the air conditioner. The air-conditioning water drops directly on the iron tree, which is obviously much better than the other one.
Angurially: My spider plant is also placed under the air-conditioning drain in the summer, and it grows twice as long after two months.
From the experience of flower friends, air-conditioning water can be used to water flowers, and the effect is good. Based on the principle of saving water, flower friends can consider keeping the air-conditioning water at home for watering the flowers.
