In real life, many people throw nut shells away as garbage after eating the nuts. Did you know that you have actually missed out on a great way to grow flowers? Nut shells contain a large amount of cellulose and other trace elements, and are a natural fertilizer, making flowers grow more and more luxuriantly.

Don't worry, next we'll teach you how to correctly use nut shells as flower fertilizer:

When we grow flowers at home, the flowers like loose and airy soil. For plants prone to root rot such as clivia (Clivia miniata), you can consider putting walnut shells at the bottom of the pot. Walnut shells are hard and not easy to rot, and can keep the potting soil airy and well-draining for a long time, preventing root rot

Sunflower seed shells and peanut shells themselves contain oil and cellulose and other nutrients, and are most suitable for making compost.

How to make it: Crush the shells, put them into a sealed container, add an appropriate amount of clean water, and place it in a higher-temperature environment for high-temperature fermentation. Wait about two months, then take it out and dilute it. Then you can use the fermented liquid just like flower fertilizer - it is economical and environmentally friendly, and the effect on plant growth is remarkable. Many friends who grow orchids mix in composted rotten peanut shells, and the orchids they grow are especially great, because peanut shells are loose and airy, and when mixed with other potting media, they are very good for the orchid's root system

Summer is approaching, and the water on the surface of the potting soil is lost severely. At this time we can spread these nut shells flat on the potting soil, which can effectively reduce water evaporation. Flower lovers who like to get hands-on can also arrange them into shapes they like.
