What do you do with leftover fruit? Today Huahua is going to show you a way to turn waste into treasure - with just a few simple steps, you can turn leftover fruit into a beautiful potted plant!

Pitaya potted plant

Pitaya (dragon fruit) is rich in vitamins and protein, can lubricate the intestines, and also helps with beauty and skincare. Don't throw away unfinished pitaya - Huahua will teach you how to make a beautiful pitaya potted plant.

How to make it:

1. Wrap the leftover pitaya flesh in gauze, and squeeze the gauze with your hands to separate the seeds from the flesh.

2. Open the gauze and soak the seeds and flesh from the gauze in water for 24 hours. Then scoop out the flesh and rinse repeatedly to get clean seeds.

3. Plant the seeds in soil prepared in advance. Place the pot in a warm indoor spot, and before long a pot of lovely, lush green little plants will grow.

Tangerine potted plant

Tangerines are very common in our daily lives. Tangerines are rich in dietary fiber, which does a great job of promoting intestinal movement. Don't throw away the tangerine seeds left after eating - with just a little care, they become a lovely little potted plant.

How to make it:

1. Collect the tangerine seeds left after eating, put them in water and soak for a week. Be sure to change the water often to keep the water clean.

2. Remove the hard outer shell of the tangerine seeds to get the seeds. Place the seeds in the prepared soil with the pointed ends facing up.

3. Cover the seeds with 1 cm (0.4 in) of soil. When the temperature is suitable, they will sprout in about 3 weeks, and before long they will grow into a pot of lush green little plants.

Longan potted plant

Longan is also called guiyuan. It is nutritious and has the effects of nourishing the blood, boosting qi, and benefiting the brain and intelligence. After eating longan, don't throw away the pits - with a few simple steps, you can grow a longan potted plant.

How to make it:

1. Collect the longan seeds and remove the flesh from the seeds completely. Soak the seeds in clean water for a week, and be sure to change the water every day.

2. Water the soil thoroughly in advance. When the longan pits crack open a small slit, arrange them with the sprouting side facing up and plant them in the pot.

3. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil, spray with water to moisten, then place some small stones on top and press down gently with your hand. Be sure to water twice a day. After two weeks, the little sprouts will start growing rapidly, and soon a lush green longan potted plant will appear.

Pomegranate potted plant

The vitamin C content in pomegranate is far higher than in apples and pears. Pomegranate is not only highly nutritious, but also has the effects of stopping bleeding, counteracting alcohol, and inhibiting bacteria and toxins. Save the pomegranate seeds you spit out, and you can grow a lovely little potted plant.

How to make it:

1. Wash the pomegranate seeds left after eating, and remove the transparent film on the outside. Soak the seeds in water for about 1 week, and be sure to change the water every day until the water is clear with no impurities at all.

2. Spray the surface of the soil to moisten it, then spread the seeds evenly over the soil and place a layer of small stones on top of the seeds, and moisten the soil with water.

3. Spray water once a day. In about 3 weeks the seeds will sprout, and after more than 1 month a cute little potted plant will grow.
