Don't know how to grow flowers? Bury a little of this in the pot, and they'll never get root rot, blooming all over the pot

We usually love growing flowers, and there are quite a few friends who enjoy looking at flowers, but very few truly know how to grow them, because flower growing looks simple but actually involves many details. As long as you understand these flowers' growth habits and key growing points, you can use some casually picked-up waste to grow lush branches and leaves and a profusion of blooms. Much better than bought flower-growing gadgets

1. Put this at the bottom of the Clivia pot, and it will never get root rot

Many green belts have pine trees that produce lots of small pine cones. Although they have no pine nuts, they are excellent material for growing flowers. Pick up some pine cones under the pine trees, soak them in carbendazim for half an hour to sterilize and disinfect, and after drying them, spread them at the bottom of the Clivia pot as a drainage layer. They can drain excess water away, keeping the Clivia's roots airy without water accumulation. You won't have to worry about root rot at all. When the roots are strong, the plant will be robust, and the same goes for other flowers

Scatter a handful of castor seeds in the Clivia pot, and the leaves will turn glossy green

Clivia loves fertilizer. Many big Clivia growers use roasted castor beans as fertilizer when repotting. Castor beans are very oily, and the Clivia they grow is glossy and shiny with excellent quality

If we don't have castor beans, we can also use roasted sunflower seeds as fertilizer. Dig a few holes at the edge of the pot and put seven or eight sunflower seeds or castor beans in each hole. The oily substances are released slowly, and after the Clivia absorbs them, the leaves become especially glossy and the plant very robust

2. Put a little of this in the pothos pot, and it will climb all over the wall, never getting yellow leaves or root rot

Pothos likes loose, fertile soil. To make the pothos soil loose and airy, you need to give it a breathable drainage layer, and coal cinder is a good choice. This free golden soil, after we finish burning honeycomb coal, can be soaked in water to remove alkalinity, then crushed. Use the large particles as a drainage layer. Not only is it loose and airy, it also supplements trace elements, and it costs nothing. Isn't that a great choice?

Usually the okara left over from making soy milk is a pity to just pour away. We can use it to grow pothos. Squeeze the water out of the okara and stir-fry it in a pan

. When using it, dig 2-3 small holes along the edge of the pothos pot, sprinkle in a little roasted okara, don't let it touch the roots, then cover with soil. Apply about once every 1 month, and the pothos will grow 3 times faster than other people's, with especially large leaves!

3. Put this in the crab claw cactus pot, and the leaves will be glossy green with many blooms

The root system of the crab claw cactus is very weak, so we usually graft it onto other rootstocks, such as cactus or Pereskia. However, as long as you pay attention to certain methods, a self-rooted crab claw cactus can also be grown for decades. For example, we can put a layer of water-permeable medium at the bottom of the pot, and coarse sand is a good choice

1. Crab claw cacti basically all die from root rot, so a water-permeable medium must be placed at the bottom of the pot to prevent water accumulation and root rot, and coarse sand is a good choice.

We can wash relatively large-grained sand clean and pour it into the bottom of the crab claw cactus pot, about a few cm is enough. This sand can drain excess water away and prevent water accumulation and root rot, so our crab claw cactus will no longer easily get root rot

Bury a little bone meal in the pot, and buds will keep popping out in clusters

We know that phosphorus fertilizer promotes flowering, so we can also apply some phosphorus fertilizer to the crab claw cactus to make the flowers bloom more and bigger. The bones and fish bones left over from the chicken, duck, and fish we eat are rich in phosphorus and can be used to grow flowers. After sun-drying chicken bones and fish bones for a few days, crush them and bury a little at the edge of the crab claw cactus pot. This can supplement phosphorus fertilizer and make the crab claw cactus bloom more and more beautifully

4. Put bricks in the succulent pot, and they will grow fast without root rot

Everyone who grows succulents knows about clay pebbles. These are a flower-growing wonder that keeps soil loose and airy. When growing flowers, put a layer at the bottom of the pot, and the roots will be especially robust with never any root rot. If there are no clay pebbles, we can also use crushed bricks instead, because bricks have properties similar to clay pebbles, both being made by firing at high temperatures. Used as a drainage layer at the bottom of the pot, they are loose and airy, and there will never be root rot

For succulent soil, we can also use coal cinder that has been soaked in water. It is loose and airy, and especially suitable for growing succulents

Bury a little slow-release fertilizer in the pot, and they will grow 3 times faster than others

Our succulents generally grow very slowly. If we want them to grow a bit faster, we can apply some slow-release fertilizer to the succulents. The fertilizer effect is slow, it won't burn the roots, and the results are good
