Bury a few treasures at the bottom of the snake plant's pot, and the soil stays fertile and loose, while the leaves grow like crazy
Many friends like to grow snake plants. They not only beautify the environment but also purify the air and absorb harmful substances from it. Some friends find that their plants grow fairly fast at first, but after a while they hardly grow at all, which may be caused by compacted soil and a lack of fertility. Today, the editor will tell you to put these two treasures in the flower pot, and the clivia will grow lush branches and leaves, shooting up to the roof!
1. Eggshells and fish bones
Eggs are one of the must-have ingredients in every household. We wash the leftover eggshells clean and let them dry, and they can be used as good fertilizer for growing flowers. Eggshells contain organic phosphorus as well as rich trace elements such as calcium, which can make flowers grow more vigorously. When we use eggshells to grow flowers, we crush them and bury them at the bottom of the soil, so the soil can not only absorb nutrients but also improve drainage. The snake plant's soil becomes more and more fertile, no longer compacted, and the leaves keep growing like crazy!
When we eat fish, we keep the fish bones. After washing them clean, put them in an airtight container with water to ferment. After fermentation, the fish bones are the best fertilizer for growing flowers. Fermented fish bones contain a large amount of phosphorus fertilizer. Bury the fermented fish bone residue at the bottom of the flower pot, and the fermented water can be diluted and used to water the flowers. The potting soil stays fertile and loose, and the snake plant's leaves grow like crazy!
2. Leaf mold
When we repot the snake plant, it is best to add some leaf mold at the bottom of the pot. Leaf mold is rich in humus, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and trace elements. The soil is loose and breathable, with good water and fertilizer retention, making it very suitable for growing snake plants. Flowers grown with leaf mold produce more blooms and brighter colors. When collecting leaf mold, we should try to avoid digging it all from one spot. Collect from several different places and mix different soils together, so the nutrients are richer and the effect on flowers is better.
