Clivias, spider plants and pothos are all very common flowers in our homes; basically any friend who loves flowers will keep a few pots. These flowers are very easy to keep alive, but keeping them thriving is truly not easy. Other people's flowers always stay in a green, glossy state for a long time.

In fact, keeping flowers in a good green state for a long time isn't complicated; a few casual actions can do it, and you can try them in daily life.

Put a few cigarette butts in the flower pot: remove the filter tip and paper and use only the tobacco inside, put it in a container, more is better, then add water and soak for a few days. Filter it once, put the filtered water into a watering can and spray it on the stems and leaves of your flowers, plants or bonsai plants; it can do a good job of preventing pests and diseases.

Put some dried orange peel in the flower pot: removes odors and prevents insects. Don't use too much, 5-6 pieces per pot. Collect sun-dried orange peel and soak it for a few days, and it becomes a good flower fertilizer containing multiple trace elements. The method is very easy: cut one or two liang of orange peel into 1-inch sections and soak them in 10 jin of hot water at about 40°C to 45°C; after soaking for a week, the orange peel liquid can be used as flower fertilizer.

About wiping the leaves: many friends have heard that wiping leaves with beer works very well. Indeed, it can make the leaves very glossy in a short time, but considering the long term, wiping leaves with beer is not advisable. After the substances in beer dry, they will block the leaves from breathing. It is best to wipe with mineral water or distilled water. If you're lazy, just use clean water. In summer, you can spray water on the leaves more often to keep them moist.
