Money-saving gardening tips: one straw and you're all set
Rose layering
1. Clean the prepared plastic straw, cut off the part with the spring, and keep only the straight section of the straw.
2. Fold the straw in half at the middle, and use your fingertips to press hard on the fold several times.
3. Press down the rose branch that needs layering, and insert the prepared straw into the soil to hold it in place.
Flower trellis
1. Prepare a piece of wire, a few bamboo skewers, a straw, scissors, and pliers.
2. Cut the straw into lengths of about 5 cm, and make a small slit in the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through.
3. Insert the bamboo skewers into the straw, bend the wire into a ring, and fit it into the slit of the cut plastic straw.
4. Insert the finished trellis into the soil, and the grown flowers can climb upward along the trellis!
Succulent watering can
1. Prepare a straw, a plastic bottle, and a tube of glue.
2. Poke a hole in the bottle cap, then insert the spring end of the straw into the hole.
3. Apply the prepared glue at the joint between the straw and the bottle cap so that the straw does not come loose.
4. Fill the plastic bottle with water, tighten the cap, and a simple watering device is ready! Friends who grow succulents at home can make one themselves!
Fertilizing hydroponic plants
1. Prepare a few stiffer plastic straws and a drill (or a needle). Use the drill bit to make several holes in one end of the straw.
2. Crush the flower leaves and put them into the perforated section to prevent mud from clogging the straw later, and the rotting green leaves are even better for fertilizing.
3. After preparing it, insert the perforated end of the straw into flowerpots such as water lilies that are grown with a mix of water and soil. Each time you fertilize, just put the fertilizer into the holes.
Isn't such a tiny straw also very useful?
