Bury soybeans and eggs in the snake plant pot, and it will grow explosively, filling the pot and reaching great height

A friend often shows off her snake plant on social media. Her snake plant at home is already over one meter tall. I recently visited her, and it happened that she was repotting her snake plant. She said, wait until I finish repotting it, come back this time next year, and I guarantee it will grow taller than Yao Ming. So it turns out there is a "clever trick" when repotting.

This little gardener originally wanted to tease her for boasting, but my friend swore it was true, saying that next year you can bring a tape measure to check. When I heard this, I thought she was way too confident. Later, while helping her repot, I realized she had something to "rely on" - what she relied on was those "ingredients" she added to the soil when potting, all treasures for growing snake plants.

1. Two reasons tell you: snake plants must be repotted

This is the snake plant at her home. It has grown too tall, so two ribbons are needed to help secure it, otherwise its "hairstyle" is too messy and it looks listless. This pot is just too small and needs to be changed. Dear snake plant owners, when you grow snake plants, it is best to repot once every two years. For those growing too vigorously, repot once a year. A pot that is too small will stall its growth, so it is best to change to a pot two sizes larger.

After patting the pot wall for a long time to loosen the soil, then tip it out. Flower owners should learn this trick when repotting, as it helps avoid damaging the roots. Look, the soil below is a bit compacted, which is also one of the reasons for repotting flowers. When potting soil is compacted, the roots cannot breathe well, which affects growth. During care, this little gardener suggests you use Huadongde microbial organic nutrient solution. It not only supplements nutrients but also revitalizes and loosens the soil, improving the soil environment.

2. Potting the snake plant: broken bricks + soybeans + eggshells

Next comes the potting. The first step is to put broken brick pieces at the bottom to ensure drainage and air permeability. Many flower friends overlook this step when potting. Experienced owners, when potting flowers, will put a layer of broken bricks or crushed coal cinders at the bottom of the pot. Small stones also work. This is to ensure drainage and air permeability.

The second step is the secret to why my friend's snake plant grows so well. These are soybeans. Soybean grains contain plenty of nitrogen and other trace elements beneficial for plant absorption. Because the pot is very deep, you can directly scoop in other fertilizers and bury them in the lower layer, which neither harms the roots nor fails to ensure sufficient nutrients. And that is not all.

Soybeans, eggshells, plus leaf mold soil, mix them together. This is the "base fertilizer" that the flower friend prepared for the snake plant. This fertilizer can slowly ferment in the pot. Although its fertilizing effect is slow, it lasts a long time and can ensure that the snake plant in the pot does not lack fertilizer. If owners want to imitate this, it is best to use fully decomposed base fertilizer, as that is safer.

The third step is to fill soil and pot it. This pot can really hold a lot of soil. These soils from the flower friend were all leaf mold soil dug from under trees. After scooping away that thick layer of leaves, dig the soil below, bring it back, expose it to the sun for disinfection, and then pot. At this point, place the snake plant on top, and the potting is complete.

The fourth step is the final soil-filling stage. Dear snake plant owners, when potting, do not think about burying it too deep. Let the small shoots beside it also float on the soil surface. After that, water thoroughly and keep it in a cool, ventilated place to let the snake plant acclimate to the pot. Then gradually move it to a position with some light. It is best not to fertilize within 2 months.

Since this snake plant is growing so well, after two months we must promptly and regularly supplement fertilizer, but also remember to apply thin fertilizer frequently. We use root-strengthening Huadongde organic nutrient solution to supplement fertilizer. It is an organic fertilizer purely fermented from plants, rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. During the vigorous growth period, dilute 500 times and use once a week; at other times, dilute 1000 times and use once every 10 days. By adjusting fertilization in a targeted way, the snake plant is more likely to grow until it fills the pot.

After helping my friend with the potting work, and then seeing her careful attitude toward growing flowers, it is not impossible that this snake plant will grow taller than Yao Ming. Dear owners, do you think this is possible?
