Grow these 2 long-life vegetables in pots on your balcony; they are both beautiful and delicious

Although there are many kinds of flowers, every time you go to the flower market, there are only a few common ones, such as clivia, spider plant, Chinese rose, lucky bamboo, and so on. Many friends who have been growing flowers for years always want to be a bit more original and grow something rare. A few days ago, a flower-growing friend left me a message saying that his neighbors are now all growing these "2 kinds" of plants in pots on their balconies, saying they are not only ornamental but also edible, and most importantly, they have health benefits.

These two potted plants are "sweet potato leaves" and "purslane."

Sweet potato leaves: I remember when I was a child, my family lived in the countryside, and every year some sweet potatoes were grown in the fields. When the leaves were lush, I would go with my family to pick sweet potato leaves. After bringing them home, we would either steam them, mix them into a cold dish, or sometimes stir-fry them. It can be said to be a really wonderful delicacy. It's just that I haven't tasted this flavor for many years now, and I truly miss it.

Growing one or two pots of sweet potatoes on the balcony, and when the leaves grow lush, picking some to eat as a vegetable has many benefits. It can boost immunity, stop bleeding, lower blood sugar, detoxify, prevent and treat night blindness, promote metabolism, relieve constipation and promote urination, raise platelets, prevent arteriosclerosis, promote lactation and detoxify, and has many other health benefits.

Besides sweet potato leaves being very worth growing in pots on a home balcony, "purslane," a wild vegetable, is also a very good plant. There's no need for me to say much about this wild vegetable; surely everyone recognizes it. After all, it is just too common in the countryside. Nowadays, at markets in the city, one jin of purslane costs more than ten yuan. By the way, if you grew this thing in the countryside, you could probably make a fortune!

Although purslane is a wild vegetable, it is highly adaptable and very suitable for growing in pots on a balcony. In addition, it has strong reproductive ability; generally, one or two branches can grow into a large pot. This wild vegetable, purslane, has the effects of clearing heat and removing dampness, detoxifying and reducing swelling, reducing inflammation, quenching thirst, and promoting urination. It can be said to be a very powerful plant. Many people make a special trip to the wild to dig it up.

Purslane is drought-tolerant and waterlogging-tolerant, and especially likes an environment with plenty of sunlight, so growing it on a balcony is most suitable. In addition, loose, fertile, slightly acidic soil is more suitable for its growth, so in daily watering, using leftover rice-washing water to water purslane can also promote thicker and greener leaves.

That's all for sharing knowledge about growing wild vegetables on the balcony. Thank you for reading! I truly suggest that when flower-growing friends grow flowers on the balcony, they set aside one or two flower pots to plant them. After all, both of these plants are especially easy to grow, and in addition to their health benefits, they are helpful for health, and they are completely pollution-free. It can be said that they are much better than growing potted fruit trees.

Now life is becoming more and more affluent. Perhaps it's time for wild vegetables to "make a comeback"!
