Peanut plants are both tasty and beautiful, and growing them at home is no worse than pothos.
Throw 1 peanut into a pot and you can grow a lush green plant; its flowers are small and golden yellow, the flowering period lasts up to 2 months, and 1 peanut plant can actually produce 200-1000 flowers. After enjoying the flowers, you can also harvest a basket of peanuts. So worth it!
Peanut plant, with glossy green leaves
The Complete Guide to Flower Growing
The leaves of a peanut plant are emerald green and glossy, and they also have a particularly fresh scent, which Huahua really likes. Peanuts can be grown in soil or in water. First, let's take a look at how beautiful a peanut plant is!
Throw peanuts into the soil, and you can enjoy the flowers and get fruit
The Complete Guide to Flower Growing
Toss peanuts into the soil, and they will rapidly grow dense, emerald green leaves and stems, and can even make the air fresher. In the end, pull them up by the roots, and you will see the roots covered with fruit, which puts you in a great mood. Let's see how to grow a peanut plant!
1. Remove the peanut shells
Choose plump raw peanuts and remove the shells by hand, keeping the large, plump peanut kernels.
2. Soak the peanuts
Put the peanuts in clean water, letting the water cover the peanuts, and soak overnight so the peanuts absorb enough moisture. If any peanuts are floating on the surface after soaking overnight, throw them away.
3. Plant in soil
Try to find a large flower pot. First lay broken bricks and tiles at the bottom of the pot, add a mixed soil of pine needle soil and decomposed chicken manure, then dig small holes, putting 1 peanut in each hole and planting 3-5 in 1 pot. Cover them with soil and water thoroughly. Place in a ventilated spot with plenty of light.
4. Sprouts appear after 2-3 days and rapidly grow into a potted plant
Peanuts sprout quite quickly. In spring they usually sprout in 2-3 days. Water when the soil is dry, make sure there is plenty of sunlight, and once a month water with fermented cake fertilizer or compound fertilizer water, so the seedlings grow vigorously and produce more flowers and more fruit.
5. Flowers appear after 1 month
From planting the peanuts to flowering takes only about 1 month. The golden yellow flowers are very attractive, the flowering period lasts up to 2 months, and each peanut plant can produce 200-1000 flowers. Amazing.
6. Fruit appears after 3 months
About 3 months after planting the peanuts, the flowers gradually fade and the peanuts in the pot soil mature. You can pull the peanuts out of the pot soil, and the roots will be covered with plump peanuts. It is simply so exciting!
Throw peanuts into water, and they look 10 times better than pothos
The Complete Guide to Flower Growing
Peanuts can also be grown hydroponically, and they can likewise become a beautiful potted plant. The process is very simple. Come and take a look!
1. Choose healthy peanuts
Choose plump peanuts with no wormholes.
2. Soak to speed up sprouting
Put the peanuts in clean water, making sure the water covers the peanuts, and change the water once a day. After soaking for 5 days, they will sprout. If the temperature is around 25°C, they will sprout even faster!
3. Drill holes in a foam board
Find a piece of foam board and make some small holes in it, just big enough to hold the peanuts, then put the peanut sprouts into the small holes with the sprouts facing down.
4. Put the foam board in water
Put the foam board with the peanuts into water so the sprouts touch the water, and place it in a cool, well-ventilated spot. After about 1 week, green leaves will grow!
5. Move into the sunlight
When the peanut leaves spread out, you can move them to a spot with plenty of sunlight. After another 1 month of growth, the leaves become even more emerald green and glossy, much prettier than pothos.
That's all for the introduction to peanut plants for now.
Hurry and grow 1 pot yourself and give it a try.
