Además el vinagre es un potente antioxidante que genera un ambiente bueno para protección de la piel del ataque de los radical que provocan el envejecimiento de las mismas. Exactamente realiza la misma función en las plantas. Si no se quiere dejar vasos cerca de las plantas, otra manera es pasar finamente un pincel vinagre por las hojas de las mismas. Considero que el vaso es más práctico, cuando se evapora todo el vinagre es cuestión de echar más. El problema de vivir en un atmosfera de vinagre es que genera a veces un poquito de irratación y leve tos en el paladar humano.
