The researchers dissolved 4 aspirin tablets in 4 liters of water, spraying the solution on a group of plants every 3 weeks. By the end of the season, the aspirin-treated plants had grown larger and were stronger, as they were more resistant to microorganisms and fungi.
This treatment has proven to be even more effective on nightshade plants such as potatoes and tomatoes.
There are several ways to harness the power of aspirin in plants, and we list the best ones below.
As a rooting agent: Soak the cuttings for 3-4 hours in distilled water with 1 aspirin. This action acts as a disinfectant, protecting cuttings from mold and activating growth.
As a growth accelerator: dilute 1 aspirin in a liter of water and spray the solution on the plants every 3 weeks. Do not overdo the amounts, as the plant could suffer.
To germinate the seeds: Soak the seeds in the solution of water and aspirin before planting.
In the soil: In order not to have to dilute the aspirin, you can put the tablets directly in the soil, about 15 cm from the plant, and then water regularly.
