Sprinkle a handful of ash in the flower pot, the bugs die off and the flowers sprout green shoots
Sprinkle a handful of mosquito coil ash in the pot, and the bugs all die off!
The first thing Huahua wants to talk about is, naturally, the most commonly used mosquito coil ash in summer! Never throw away the leftover mosquito coil ash, because using it to grow flowers works really well!
How to do it?
1. After burning mosquito coils at home, collect all the mosquito coil ash and set it aside for later use.
2. For flower lovers who want to save a bit of effort, you can directly sprinkle a thin layer of mosquito coil ash on the surface of the flower pot. This way, when you water, the mosquito coil ash will seep into the potting soil along with the water, thereby killing the small bugs and all kinds of eggs in the soil.
3. You can also mix the mosquito coil ash with water at a ratio of 1:50, then put it in a spray bottle and spray it directly onto the leaves, which will kill those annoying fungus gnats!
4. Mosquito coil ash can not only kill pests, but also contains some fertilizer potassium. Giving flowers a little potassium fertilizer supplement can achieve the effect of making the plants stronger, simply killing two birds with one stone!
Sprinkle a handful of cigarette ash in the pot, and the bugs all run away!
Quite a few flower lovers told Huahua that nowadays everyone at home uses electric mosquito coils, and not that many people use mosquito coil tablets. That being said, flower lovers who smoke at home should not waste it either, because cigarette ash is also a good thing for growing flowers!
How to do it?
1. If there are flower lovers who smoke at home, then never throw away the cigarette ash in the ashtray. Just keep it aside for later use as usual.
2. Sprinkle a layer of cigarette ash on the surface of the pot, but be careful not to sprinkle too much. This can prevent fungus gnats from laying eggs on the soil, and when you water, the cigarette ash will also seep into the flower pot along with the water, thereby killing the bacteria in the soil.
3. If, besides cigarette ash, you also have cigarette butts left over from smoking at home, then soak the cigarette ash and cigarette butts directly together in water. After soaking for about 24 hours, fish out the cigarette butts and the like, dilute the remaining solution with water at 1:50, put it directly in a spray bottle and spray it toward the leaves.
4. The tobacco shred water contains slightly toxic substances, which can kill some pests such as fungus gnats and aphids, but it does no harm to the flowers, so all you flower lovers can use it with peace of mind.
Sprinkle a handful of lime in the pot, and the snails will never dare come again!
As soon as quite a few flower lovers hear the word lime, they get scared. Isn't lime strongly alkaline, so how can it be thrown into a flower pot? Actually, as long as we get the amount right, lime is also a good thing for growing flowers!
How to do it?
1. Prepare a little lime and set it aside. Sprinkle a thin layer of lime around the edge of the flower pot, but remember to keep it far away from the roots, and do not sprinkle it onto the leaves.
2. When snails come out in the evening wanting to gnaw on the leaves of flowers and plants, they will die from dehydration upon touching the lime. If everyone is worried that sprinkling lime inside the flower pot is not safe, you can also sprinkle it directly in a ring on the ground around the flower pot, which can also block the snails.
Sprinkle a handful of plant ash in the pot, and the flowers grow strong and vigorous!
Huahua's hometown has a big pot for cooking. Every time after cooking a meal, a lot of plant ash is scooped out from the bottom of the pot, and this plant ash is a great treasure for growing flowers, so everyone must not just throw it away carelessly!
How to do it?
1. Collect all the plant ash from home and set it aside for later use.
2. Prepare a clean plastic bottle, grab a handful of plant ash and put it in, then add water, with a ratio of about 1:10 being enough, then screw the bottle cap on tightly and shake it hard a few times so the plant ash and water fully dissolve.
3. Pour the plant ash solution into the bottle and spray it directly toward the places on the branches and leaves where there are bugs. Using it about 2-3 times a month can kill all the bugs.
4. If you find mixing the solution too troublesome, you can also directly poke a few small holes beside the flower pot and bury the plant ash directly inside, or just spread it directly on the surface of the pot. It can not only kill the bugs in the soil, but also supplement potassium fertilizer, simply killing two birds with one stone!
That is all Huahua is introducing today!
