Everyone has eaten peanuts, but have you ever thought about making a beautiful potted plant from peanuts? It is pretty and simple, looks very stylish indoors, and is not one bit inferior to potted plants like pothos. Today I will teach you how to make such a potted plant

First we prepare some plump raw peanut kernels with no wormholes, with the shells removed.

Then we find a slightly larger flower pot that we 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 large ends facing up. Put it in a ventilated place with sunlight and wait for them to sprout

Peanuts generally sprout in two or three days in spring. When the soil is dry, water a little. Remember it must be ventilated and have sunlight, and water appropriately with 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, small yellow flowers will be blooming all over. The peanut flowering period is long, and each peanut can produce 200-1000 or more small flowers

After lasting 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 peanuts. A peanut bonsai that lets you both enjoy the flowers and eat them - have you learned it? Friends who love flowers.

Let me tell you one more 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 punch 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 become even more emerald green and glossy, much prettier than pothos.
