Can mosquito coils really kill pests when placed in a flower pot?

1. It can kill pests

Place the mosquito coil in the flower pot and light it, and the mosquito coil ash left after burning will remain in the soil. It will seep into the soil with watering and kill the pest eggs in the soil. So placing a mosquito coil in a flower pot can indeed kill pests.

2. Specific method

First take out the flower that has the pest problem. If the flower pot is fairly large, you can light a whole coil; if the flower pot is fairly small, you can light just one section. Place two disposable chopsticks across the flower pot to prevent the mosquito coil from burning the plant directly.

Next, prepare two larger buckets, put the whole flower pot into one bucket, then cover it with the other, even larger bucket placed upside down, so that the space is sealed.

After about twenty minutes, the mosquito coil will go out by itself. Then lift off the bucket and let the mosquito coil ash remain in the flower pot. When you water, the mosquito coil ash can seep into the soil with the water and kill the eggs in the soil. At the same time, the mosquito coil ash contains potassium, which can make the plant grow stronger.
