Rice water can be beneficial for houseplants, but it should not replace fertilizers. It contains small amounts of essential nutrients but is mostly starch, which plants cannot absorb directly. Fermented rice water may support soil microorganisms, acting as a supplement rather than a complete nutrient source. Experts recommend using it sparingly to avoid issues like mold or insect attraction. While some gardeners suggest different preparation methods, caution is advised, especially for plants with existing issues. Overall, rice water can be a way to reuse water but should not substitute proper care and fertilization for healthy plant growth.
