Everyone has eaten peanuts, but have you ever thought about using peanuts to make a beautiful potted plant? It is beautiful and simple, looks very tasteful indoors, and is in no way inferior to potted plants like pothos. Today I will teach everyone how to make such a potted plant

First, prepare some plump raw shelled peanut kernels with no wormholes.

Then find a slightly larger flower pot that you like, put broken bricks or charcoal residue at the bottom of the pot, then add mixed soil with animal manure, spread it flat, pour on a small amount of water, dig small holes in it, and plant the peanut kernels neatly in the pot with the larger end facing up. Put it in a ventilated, sunny place and wait for them to sprout

Peanuts usually sprout in two or three days in spring. When the soil dries, water it a little. Remember it must be ventilated and have sunlight, and appropriately apply some cake fertilizer to provide nutrients so the seedlings grow vigorously

From planting the peanuts to flowering takes only about a month. By then, under the lush green leaves there will be small yellow flowers all over. The peanut flowering period is long, and each peanut can produce more than 200 to 1,000 small flowers

After about three months the flowers begin to slowly fade, and this is also when the peanuts are ripe. By then you can turn the flower pot upside down, and the roots will be covered with round, plump, white and chubby peanuts. A peanut bonsai that lets you both enjoy the flowers and eat them - have you learned it? Friends who love flowers and plants.

Let me tell you another little secret

Peanuts can also be grown hydroponically, which is even easier and quicker

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 into clean water to soak. The clean water should cover the peanuts. Change the water once a day with fresh water. After soaking for 5 days, they will sprout. If the temperature is around 25 degrees, 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 downward into the small holes.

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 place. After about 1 week, green leaves will grow!

5. Move it into the sunlight

When the peanut leaves spread out, you can move it to a place with plenty of sunlight. After another month of growth, the leaves will be even more emerald green and glossy, much prettier than pothos.
