On the method of disinfecting coconut bran with hydrogen peroxide
, coconut bran is also a commonly used plant material for gardening. However, it may contain germs and insect eggs, which are unfavorable to plant growth, so the matter of disinfection is quite important. Today, hydrogen peroxide is used as an agent to carry out the disinfection method, as detailed below.

The first hydrogen peroxide solution is prepared. The hydrogen peroxide sold in the market is mostly a finished product with a concentration of 3%. If you want to use it for disinfection of coconut bran, you can dilute it as appropriate to suit it.

Slowly pour the diluted hydrogen peroxide solution on the coconut bran and mix it while pouring, so that the coconut bran and the solution are fully When pouring, bubbles can be seen rising, which is the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, releasing oxygen, and also a sign of disinfection and sterilization.

After stirring, cover the container with a plastic film and seal it tightly. In this way, the hydrogen peroxide gas can not be dissipated, giving full play to the disinfection effect. When standing, pay attention to the ambient temperature, and place it in a warm and ventilated place to help the disinfection process.
