Bury 1 spoonful of oil at the bottom of the pot for spider plants and pothos, and the leaves will be glossy green and grow vigorously
Spider plants and pothos are foliage plants. With proper care, their leaves stay glossy green all year round, and both plants are fairly easy to grow. Though easy to grow, they can still develop yellow leaves. For yellowing leaves on foliage plants, there are actually quite a few little tricks to ease the problem. Some gardeners have shared before that watering flowers with rice water or with monopotassium phosphate both work well.
Today, I will share another little trick with you. Using this thing to grow flowers is a hundred times better than fertilizer. Once you use it, the leaves are guaranteed to stay glossy green and never turn yellow again. This thing is the "waste oil from the range hood" below.
After a range hood has been used for a long time, it is inevitable that quite a bit of grease residue will build up, and this grease contains a large amount of trace elements, such as nitrogen, iron and so on; the abundance of these trace elements is unmatched by other substances. Bury this stuff at the bottom of the pots of spider plants and pothos. You do not need much, just one spoonful, and you will not need to fertilize again for half a year. In three months the leaves will become glossy and bright, and yellow leaves will not appear.
This method is not only suitable for spider plants and pothos, but also for growing flowering plants such as clivia and kalanchoe. After all, it contains so many trace elements, and every kind of plant needs them. Using waste oil from the range hood to grow flowers has also been verified by many gardeners. It is just that not many gardeners know about it yet.
Turning the "garbage" in daily life and the "waste" in the kitchen into treasures for growing flowers is actually an interesting thing in itself. It shows that in the process of growing flowers, you should not be rigid; you should learn and apply things flexibly, and think carefully about the growth characteristics of the plants.
If you use the waste oil from the range hood to grow flowers for a long time, the plant roots will grow more and more lush. Although this is an advantage, it also brings gardeners quite a bit of trouble, namely that after just a few months, you have to repot. Otherwise the potting soil will be "eaten up" by the lush roots. Look at the pothos above; it is the result of long-term care with waste oil. This kind of pothos will only grow better and better, because its roots are well developed and robust!
Have you learned this little trick of using waste oil from the range hood to grow flowers? When you clean the range hood, do not throw the waste oil away again; what a waste. It is so good to use it for growing flowers. That is all for sharing the little tricks and knowledge about growing flowers. If you have better experience, you can share it in the comments below so that more gardeners can see it!
