The leaves of pothos and pennywort are bigger than 8 coins - how were they grown?
How do you grow pennywort with leaves as big as 8 coins?
The first time Huahua saw pennywort that could hold 8 coins, Huahua was truly shocked. This is the real master of growing pennywort - the ones that could only hold one coin before are just weak in comparison!
Care tips:
1. Add a little compound fertilizer
If you want pennywort to grow vigorously, you must supplement with fertilizer, and the simplest and most effective is compound fertilizer. Poke a few holes around the edge of the pot and bury 5-8 granules of compound fertilizer in, once a month is enough. If it is hydroponic, just drop the compound fertilizer into the water and let it dissolve.
2. Plenty of water and plenty of sun
If you want pennywort to grow vigorously, plenty of water and plenty of sun are essential. Place the pennywort on a south-facing balcony or south-facing windowsill, and if conditions allow, you can also put it in the yard. Water it 1-2 times a day, and the pennywort will grow more and more vigorously!
3. Cut off flowers as soon as they bloom, and if there are many flowers, give it a crew cut
Pennywort flowers are not attractive and also consume nutrients, so at this point just cut the flowers off directly. If the pennywort blooms especially heavily, then cut it back directly 2-3cm above the root system and let the pennywort grow new leaves again.
How do you grow pothos with 30cm-long [leaves]?
Whenever large pothos leaves are mentioned, many gardening friends retort to Huahua that theirs is big-leaf pothos, which is different from the small-leaf pothos we have at home! Today Huahua wants to say that small-leaf pothos can also grow large leaves!
Care tips:
1. Tie it to a palm-pole to make a pothos column
If you want small-leaf pothos leaves to become larger, the simplest method is to let the pothos climb upward. Make a pole wrapped in palm fiber, stick it in the center of the flowerpot, and let the pothos roots continuously attach to the pothos column. The higher it goes, the larger the pothos leaves become!
2. Apply more nitrogen fertilizer
If you want pothos leaves to become larger, you can apply more fertilizer. For example, fish tank water and rice-washing water are both good fertilizers with high nitrogen content.
In addition, you can also supplement with a bit of agricultural urea. Drop 5-7 granules of agricultural urea into water to dissolve, then put it in a spray bottle and spray it toward the leaves. Use it once every 1-2 weeks, and it can effectively supplement nitrogen, making the pothos leaves grow larger and larger!
3. Diffused light + more watering
Place the pothos in a bright indoor spot, such as the living room, study, or east or west balcony. Water about once every 3-5 days, and frequently spray water toward the leaves with a spray bottle, so the pothos grows more and more vigorously and the leaves become larger and larger!
How do you grow roses with flowers as big as a plate?
Spring is exactly the time when roses bloom, especially those with particularly large flowers, some even bigger than a fist - simply Huahua's darling!
Care tips:
1. Apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer
If you want roses to bloom more, you must supplement with sufficient phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. If you are a gardener growing them in the ground, you can bury some fish intestines not far from the roots. If you are growing them in pots, you can compost fish intestines into fertilizer and then dilute with water to water the roses.
Some gardening friends who dislike how smelly their own compost is can just apply water-soluble fertilizer. Mix the water-soluble fertilizer and clean water according to the ratio, and directly drench the roots of the roses. You can choose a water-soluble fertilizer variety with more phosphorus and potassium, which can also make the roses bloom larger!
2. Prune in time
If you want roses to bloom more, regular pruning is indispensable. Whether it is bud removal in spring, or pruning dead branches, old branches, and weak branches, or even post-bloom pruning, it must all be done in time. Only in this way can nutrient consumption be avoided and the roses bloom more and larger!
3. Prevent pests and diseases
Roses are called the "medicine jar," so you must prevent disease in advance. You can mix carbendazim, imidacloprid, and fenpyroximate, and spray it toward the roses. If it has already gotten sick, dilute 1000 times with water and spray. If you are preventing disease, dilute 2000 times with water and spray. Use once every 1-2 weeks.
How do you grow spider plants with leaves 2 fingers wide?
Although spider plant leaves cannot be grown to palm size, they can be grown to 2 fingers wide, and some even exceed 3cm!
Care tips:
1. Loose and breathable soil
If you want spider plants to grow well, you must ensure the soil is loose and breathable. You can add perlite, vermiculite, or disinfected pine needles to the soil to ensure the spider plant will not rot at the roots, and then the spider plant can grow like crazy!
2. Apply thin fertilizer frequently
If you want spider plants to grow strong, fertilizing is indispensable. Put rice-washing water in a plastic bottle, leave it in the sun to ferment for 1 month, then directly dilute with water at 1:50 to water the spider plant, supplementing nutrients for the spider plant and making its leaves larger and larger.
You can also drop 20 granules of compound fertilizer directly into a basin of clean water, wait until the compound fertilizer is completely dissolved, then directly drench the roots of the spider plant to supplement nutrients, which can also make the spider plant leaves wider and wider!
3. Pay attention to watering
If you want spider plants to grow vigorously, watering must keep up! As spring turns to summer, the temperature gradually rises. At this time you need to water more, about once every 3-5 days, waiting each time until the potting soil is completely dry before watering. Use a spray bottle to spray water toward the leaf surface to prevent the spider plant from drying out at the tips due to lack of water.
How do you grow clivia with thick, plump leaves?
One way to judge the quality of a clivia is to see whether its leaves are leather-like; usually only those with a thickness of 2mm or more are top-grade!
Care tips:
1. Solid fertilizer and water-soluble fertilizer are both indispensable
If you want clivia leaves to be glossy, fertilizer is indispensable.
Solid fertilizer: Dig 2-4 small holes along the edge of the clivia pot, and bury cooked soybeans, waste oil from the range hood, etc. into the flowerpot, thereby continuously supplementing nutrients for the clivia.
Water-soluble fertilizer: Seal cooked soybeans, sesame cakes, etc. and let them fully decompose; they will be fully decomposed in about 1 month. If it is a clivia seedling, dilute with water at a ratio of 1:40; if it is a medium or large clivia, dilute with water at 1:20 and water it. Fertilizing can be chosen in the morning, and after fertilizing just water once with clean water.
2. Be cautious with watering
Rainwater and snow water are neutral, contain no minerals or other pollutants, and contain oxygen and nitrogen, which can make clivia plants strong and reduce disease. Tap water is best left to sit for 1-2 days to remove chlorine before use, and it is best to use cooled boiled water to water flowers.
