Don't bury eggshells directly in the soil when using them for plants: do these 3 steps and your flowers will grow like crazy

Nowadays more and more people like to keep some green plants at home, such as money tree, spider plant, asparagus fern, etc., which can decorate the home, beautify the environment, and add a touch of green.

In the process of care, fertilizer is essential, and among them, using eggshells to grow flowers is naturally indispensable. However, some flower lovers apply them directly to the potting soil as flower fertilizer. In fact, this is not the best method. Today, Hua'er will introduce some tips on using eggshells to grow flowers, so that every one of your pots will grow like crazy and bloom continuously.

Eggshells are rich in calcium carbonate and also contain some magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and iron. Because untreated eggshells contain egg white and a large amount of it is not washed clean, they cannot be buried directly in the potting soil. After fermentation, they can easily cause root burn, and the stench will also attract a large number of mosquitoes and insects, which can easily kill the flowers. Therefore, when using eggshells as flower fertilizer, these 3 extra steps are needed before they can be thrown into the soil.

Specific method:

1. First wash the collected eggshells clean, then leave them to dry. When washing, you can add a few drops of vinegar.

2. First break the dried eggshells into smaller pieces, then spread them out and put them under the sun for exposure to sterilize and disinfect. In this current weather, the sunlight is strong, so 1-2 days of sun exposure is enough.

3. Put the sun-dried eggshells into the microwave and bake for 5-10 ten minutes, until some eggshells turn black. You can also put them in a pan and stir-fry over low heat, then use a tool to crush them into powder, and they can be buried in the soil. Bury once a month, and the plants will grow like crazy and bloom nonstop.

Introduce some plant care knowledge for common flowers:

1. Money tree

The money tree has a graceful plant shape and stays evergreen all year round. It is a foliage plant with very high ornamental value, and it also symbolizes rolling in wealth, so it is deeply loved by flower lovers.

The money tree likes a humid environment. During the growing season, proper humidity should be maintained. When the potting soil shows signs of turning white, water it thoroughly. Every day, spray more water on the leaves and around them to increase humidity and lower temperature. In summer, pay attention to providing proper shade to avoid overly strong sunlight scorching the leaves.

2. Spider plant

The spider plant has strong adaptability, with slender and soft leaves hanging down from the edge of the pot. It stays evergreen all year round, is very suitable for decorating the home, and can absorb harmful gases such as formaldehyde, thereby purifying the air.

The spider plant likes a humid environment and needs the potting soil kept moist. In summer, watering should be sufficient, and water should also be sprayed on the leaves frequently to increase humidity. In summer, shade 50% of the light to prevent the leaf tips from drying out. Every 10 days, spray 0.1% monopotassium phosphate once to make the leaves more emerald green and glossy.

3. Asparagus fern

The asparagus fern is lush and verdant, like layered green clouds, quiet and graceful, and can be placed directly in the living room, study, office, etc.

The asparagus fern likes humid and semi-shaded environments, but when caring for it, watering requires special attention. Too much water will cause root rot, while too little water will make the leaf tips dry, scorch, and turn yellow. Follow the principle of not watering until dry, and watering thoroughly when you do. In summer, when the air is dry and there is more dust, the leaves should be cleaned frequently; otherwise, the breathing pores will be blocked by dust, making respiration impossible.
