The first thing you should do is collect all the plants and place them in a large bowl without a stand or, even better, in a bathtub. Here we present you the miracle ingredient that helps them thrive: aspirin. As a self-medication for flu and headaches, it can make plants healthier as it strengthens their immune system.
You need to dissolve an aspirin effervescent tablet in a liter of water. Then water the plants thoroughly. However, such a solution consisting of water and aspirin should not be administered more than once a month.
It has been shown that administering aspirin to plants growing in the ground significantly increases their size and yield. To test whether your plants can tolerate aspirin, simply dissolve 1/4 aspirin in a liter of water, moisten them and observe how they react.
The same solution can also be used to facilitate rooting of cuttings. In addition, they last much longer as water for cut flowers. In fact, aspirin also increases their drought resistance.

But why is aspirin so good for plants? Plants produce salicylic acid on their own in small amounts when stressed. The acid itself would help them deal with insects, malnutrition or diseases. Aspirin would strengthen the plant’s immune system, thus ensuring not only rapid germination but also resistance to pests and diseases. In addition, the salicylic acid contained in aspirin blocks the release of ethylene, which causes the plant to dry out.
