Although carbonated drinks have many benefits for raising flowers, Huahua still reminds everyone not to pour carbonated drinks directly into the pot, which will seriously hinder the breathing of the roots, and even the heat it releases will burn the roots, which will cause great damage to the root system of the plant, not only can not achieve the effect we want, but also can easily lead to yellow leaves, falling leaves and even death.
