No, apple cider vinegar does not hurt poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima).

Specifically, apple cider vinegar is acidic, and poinsettias are acid-loving plants. They prefer soil pH ranges between 4.5 and 6.5, that is, between the quite acidic to the lower limits of the neutral zone that so many ornamentals favor. Apple cider vinegar is quite effective at sanitizing soil, and poinsettias are sensitive to less than sanitary conditions. So poinsettias like their soil acidic and clean, and apple cider vinegar fits the bill on both counts.

Does apple cider cure molluscum contagiosum?

It is never that simple. That said I applied it directly just to the spots and it killed them quickly. First, the mature molluscum contagious spots might swell slightly, but they will then get a small scab in the center and fade away. I tried the apple cider vinegar first. It would not get all the spots and it seemed to allow it to spread. The one spot I tried would be gone, but 4 more would show up where to cotton swab had touched. Also, it hurt and left but scabs that might scar. The most common treatments for molluscum contagiosum are astringent chemicals, surgery, and dye lasers.

I think most fruits and foods will dissolve in vinegar. Since vinegar is an acid, eventually over time its going to dissolve part of the apple pulp. Im not sure...but with my knowledge chances are if you give it enough time it will. I dunno. Try it! It wouldn't hurt. ;)


Does acidity hurt poinsettias?

No, acidity does not harm poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima).Specifically, poinsettias are acid-loving plants. They prefer to grow in soils whose pH ranges from the acidic to the lower reaches of the neutral zone, from 4.5 to 6.5. In fact, a quite acidic soil pH below 4.8 protects poinsettias from the dreaded black rot (Thielaviopsis basicole) to which they are so susceptible.

Can you use vinegar to clean Keurig brewers?

I use vinegar and water. Most white vinegar is only 5% acid so there is literally no way it can hurt anything. I have never heard of a legitimate reason for not using any concentration of vinegar. Descaler works better though if you have some available. I think lemon juice is a stronger acid than vinegar so if vinegar can hurt a coffee machine, the coffee machine is of very poor construction.
