When flower petals fall, pick them up quickly, add some ingredients, dilute with water, and pour it on your flowers - they will bloom non-stop year after year
Flowers "eat" flowers, raising themselves on their own!
There is a line of poetry that goes, "Fallen blossoms are not heartless things; turned into spring mud, they protect the flowers even more." It means that after petals wither, they are not completely disconnected from the flower. When they fall into the soil and undergo natural decomposition, they ultimately become nutrients in the soil and continue to promote the flower's growth. Thinking about it this way, there is actually nothing to regret when a flower withers. If you quickly turn it into flower fertilizer and apply it to the flowers, even better blooms will appear. Why not do it? So today I will tell everyone how to make homemade flower fertilizer from petals!
1. Collect the fallen petals. For example, when Kalanchoe blooms profusely, more petals fall, making them easier to collect. Other flowers such as Chinese rose and rose petals can also be used to make flower fertilizer.
2. Put the collected flower fertilizer material into a plastic bag, add some clean water, then seal it and place it in direct sunlight to bake. Every 10 days, open the plastic bag to let air in and prevent the bag from swelling.
3. After about a month, the flower fertilizer will be fully decomposed. Mix it with clean water at a ratio of 1:20 and pour it on the flowers.
4. Alternatively, dry the decomposed petal fertilizer in a ventilated place, then mix it with flower soil and use it as a soil medium for planting flowers, providing nutrients for the flowers.
5. Petals are rich in nitrogen fertilizer. Using organic petal fertilizer to grow flowers can make them bloom more and their leaves greener.
Flowers actually also like garlic!
Now that you understand this petal fertilizer trick, let's take a look at what other odd habits flowers have! Normally we are quite wary of garlic because its smell is too strong and it seems impolite when out in public, but garlic is absolutely a good thing for people who grow flowers. If you don't believe it, let's take a look together.
1. Promote germination.
Peel and mash garlic, add cool boiled water at a ratio of 1:3, then apply the prepared garlic liquid to the budding area. New buds can germinate about 5-7 days earlier.
2. Prevent rot.
First remove the rotten part, then cut open a garlic clove and apply the cut surface to the wound so that a layer of garlic mucilage adheres to it. After that, apply it once every 7-10 days until it heals, which can effectively prevent rot.
3. Make a fungicide.
Mash garlic into a paste, add 1 spoon of soapy water and 2 cups of clean water, stir well, and let it sit for a while. When using it, first dilute it with 4 times the amount of water, then spray it on plants infected with fungi, spraying both the front and back of the leaves.
4. Relieve powdery mildew.
Mash one head of garlic into garlic paste, add 1 liter of water, seal it for one day, then filter out the water, dilute it three times, and spray it on the leaves to relieve powdery mildew.
Try it yourself with dried petals and garlic!
