Line the bottom of the flower pot with this casually picked-up material, and the flowers will still grow vigorously without fertilizing for 10 years

With the improvement of people's living standards, many flower enthusiasts like to grow some potted flowers at home. They can not only decorate the room; plants like asparagus fern and lucky bamboo, when grown in the study, can also delight the mood and nurture the character. Moreover, many potted flowers have the effect of purifying the air, and keeping one pot at home is equivalent to a small air purifier. However, due to the high temperatures in summer, many flowers do not grow well. What should be done about this?

The main reason flowers do not grow well is that they do not get sufficient nutrients. Many flower enthusiasts say that they water every day and also fertilize regularly, but the plants still do not grow well. Why is that? Then check whether your soil has become compacted. In our usual care process, improper care can cause soil compaction, such as directly using tap water to water, or using rice-washing water to water flowers without fermenting it first.

Rice-washing water must be fermented before it can be used to grow flowers. If it is not fermented, a layer of mucous membrane will adhere to the soil surface and cause soil compaction. In that case, no matter how much you water, the water cannot reach the roots. Over time, the roots cannot absorb nutrients, so leaves turn yellow, flowers drop, and the plant does not grow well.

To prevent soil compaction, we can pick up some earthworm castings outdoors and put them in the flower pot, because earthworm castings are relatively loose and breathable, and their nutritional value is also very high. Each time you water, the water will flow along the earthworm castings to the roots, and along with the organic fertilizer, it can be supplied for the plant to absorb. It does not harm the roots at all, and the soil is also not prone to compaction.

In addition, pine needles and leaves in the park are also a good choice for lining the bottom of flower pots, especially those fallen under trees. After being decomposed with the soil for a long time, you can directly use the soil under the trees plus some leaf mold to grow flowers, and you will not need to fertilize for a year. The flowers will keep growing vigorously. After picking up pine needles, directly spread them on the surface of the flower pot. In the process of slowly rotting, they can not only produce nutrients, but watering also will not splash out mud, which can keep the flower pot clean.

Flower enthusiasts who like growing flowers should quickly go outdoors and pick some of these to line the bottom of flower pots. Without fertilizing for 10 years, the flowers will keep growing vigorously. If you have any other flower-growing experience, you can also share it with everyone in the comment box below.
