Don't throw away expired pills at home, use them to grow flowers with especially good results
It rained today, and while tidying up the house I gathered quite a large pile of expired little pills. I had planned to throw them all away, but took one look at the flowers and plants in the small garden outside the window and held back, picking out the ones I could use to grow flowers, even better than fertilizer. Today what Bai Xiaomei'er shares with everyone is: how to make better use of expired pills at home to grow flowers.
Not all expired pills are useful. Here are a few commonly used little pills with obvious effects for your reference.
1. Vitamin B12: promotes rooting, prevents root rot, and makes leaves greener!
How to use: Crush 1 tablet of vitamin B12, dilute it with water at a ratio of 1:1000, and use it as a rooting solution. It is especially suitable when taking cuttings of flowers and plants. Soak the branches in it for 30 minutes, then take them out and plant them, which can greatly increase the rooting rate of the cuttings.
In addition, this solution can also be used to spray plant leaves, which can prevent the leaves from turning yellow.
2. Vitamin C: especially suitable for acid-loving flowers, regulates soil pH.
When plants such as jasmine, gardenia, azalea, and camellia encounter the problem of yellow leaves, apart from damage to the root system, most of it is because the soil is unsuitable. At this time, you only need to dilute 1 tablet of vitamin C with water and use it to water the flowers, and it can effectively improve the yellowing of leaves caused by unsuitable soil pH.
3. Metronidazole
Metronidazole has a very good sterilizing and antiseptic effect. When the plants at home have root rot, using it to deal with the problem is sure to work.
How to use: After cleaning the plant with root rot, crush one tablet of metronidazole, dilute it with water at a ratio of 1:200, soak the trimmed plant in this solution for 30 minutes, then let it dry before repotting. This can produce a very good sterilizing effect and prevent the plant from rotting again. Also, when growing plants in water, it is relatively easy for the water to become smelly. Adding 1 tablet of metronidazole to the water can clean the water very well and prevent root rot in water-grown plants.
Besides these three, aspirin is also one of the most common pills used in flower growing, mainly to promote plant rooting. For flower lovers who like taking cuttings, when there is no rooting powder at home, aspirin diluted with water can be used instead.
