Don't throw away watermelon rinds - use them to grow flowers, and you'll never need to buy flower fertilizer again

?Summer is almost here, and watermelons are already starting to hit the market. Just imagine taking a bite of cool watermelon on a hot summer day - that's truly the ultimate comfort. We usually just throw away watermelon rinds, but actually our plants at home also need to cool down a bit, and watermelon rinds are the best thing for that. So today, Huahua will tell everyone how to use watermelon rinds to grow flowers!

Actually, watermelon rinds are truly a good thing. Not only can they be used for beauty care, but they also have effects like clearing heat and detoxifying. Remove the outer skin and stir-fry them - the taste is quite good too. But for plant lovers, using them to grow flowers is simply the best.

First, we need to collect the leftover watermelon rinds, then use a tool to remove the red flesh completely, leaving only the white rind, because the red flesh contains a lot of sugar, and using it on flowers will attract many small bugs.

Next, we start cutting the watermelon rinds. For convenience, we can first cut them into strips and then into cubes. Then we put them into a prepared container and can add a little bit of water for fermentation, because after a while the watermelon rinds will release a lot of water on their own. Remember not to fill the bottle too full, so they can have a "breathing" process.

We should try to place them in sunlight, because high temperatures will speed up their fermentation time. Because a lot of gas will be produced during this process, don't twist the container lid too tight, otherwise it could cause an explosion. You can add a little orange peel inside, so there won't be a severe bad smell.

With sufficient sunlight, fermentation can be completed in about a week. To judge whether fermentation is complete, check the amount of water in the bottle. If the water level is already higher than the watermelon rinds, that means fermentation has succeeded.

When using it, we must remember to add water to dilute it, otherwise the concentration will be too high and it will directly burn the plants. By the way, don't waste the remaining watermelon rind residue either - you can directly bury it at the bottom of the pot. This is a very good fertilizer, but when placing it, be sure to keep it away from the plant's roots, otherwise it will damage the plant's roots.

Besides growing flowers, watermelon rinds can also be used to make jam. Next, foodie Huahua will teach everyone how to make it!

First, we need to wash the watermelon rinds clean, remove the green outer skin, then cut them into small pieces and put them into a blender to crush. Then pour them into a pot, add a little white sugar and water, and stir well. Remember to use low heat, and once there is no moisture left inside, you can turn off the heat. After it cools, put it into a container and place it in the refrigerator. When you want to eat it, just scoop it out with a spoon. Take a bite of homemade jam on a hot summer day, and all your irritability will vanish into thin air!
