Bury these 3 things in your flower pots and your potted plants will stay lush and green, bursting with blooms year after year
Bone meal
A very good slow-release phosphorus fertilizer, bone meal can help plants and flowers bud and bloom, and it also has a clear effect on strengthening flower stems. Bone meal is generally used as a base fertilizer and can be mixed directly into the potting soil; when used as a top dressing, its powder can also be sprinkled on the surface of the potting soil. Because bone meal acts slowly, it generally will not burn the roots.
Homemade bone meal method for home gardeners: soak leftover pork ribs, chicken bones, fish bones, etc. in water for 1 day, rinse repeatedly, steam in a pressure cooker for half an hour, remove the fat, air-dry, crush, and grind into fine powder. You can also roast washed, air-dried bones over low heat, and after drying them by roasting, grind them into fine powder.
Chinese herbal medicine residue
The residue left after decocting Chinese herbal medicine is a pretty good fertilizer for growing flowers. This is because most Chinese herbal medicines are the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and skins of plants, as well as the limbs, organs, and shells of birds and animals, plus some minerals. They are rich in organic and inorganic matter, and the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers needed for the growth of plants and flowers are all present in Chinese herbal medicines. Using Chinese herbal medicine residue as fertilizer has many benefits for planting, and it can also improve the permeability of the soil.
Cake fertilizer
For example, the residue left after oil extraction from soybeans, peanuts, sesame, rapeseed, cottonseed, sunflower seeds, and so on. Used as fertilizer for potted plants, it is a complete compound fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (a favorite of orchids and clivia). Before application, it must first be fermented and fully decomposed, to avoid the high temperature generated during fermentation and decomposition after application burning the roots, which will kill the roots.
Try it quickly, the effect on potted plants is very good, no need to thank me
