Don't throw away unwanted vegetables at home; bury them in soil and water them to grow beautiful potted plants

Many beginners hesitate over lots of questions before growing plants for the first time, such as what kind of flowers are easy to keep alive, and whether their home environment suits this type of plant, and so on. Huahua understands beginners' anxiety, so today Huahua wants to give beginners a piece of advice: you don't need to worry about these questions, and you can still have a beautiful potted plant!

Many things we normally eat can serve as the "seeds" for potted plants, letting them shed their original identity and become an attractive green plant. That way, not only does your home get some greenery for decoration, but once they have grown enough, you can even eat them. So what exactly are these plants?

They are the vegetables we normally eat. You may be thinking, vegetables can turn into potted plants? You must be joking, right? Today let Huahua introduce a few plants that can be grown on a family balcony and are both edible and attractive!

Sweet potato

Looking at how round and plump a sweet potato is, how could it possibly become a potted plant? Though sweet potatoes are chubby, they have their spring too. We may sometimes accidentally buy too many sweet potatoes, and if we can't finish them we just leave them sitting there, only to find they have sprouted! Many friends think that once food sprouts it is poisonous and definitely can't be eaten, so they throw it away. Hold on, Huahua tells you, don't throw away sprouted sweet potatoes. Put them in a container, give them some time, let them grow, and you will surely be stunned!

Actually, making a sweet potato potted plant is very simple. Just find a suitable container and put soil or water in it, then quietly wait for it to become an attractive potted plant! And those who like eating sweet potato leaves can wait until the leaves grow a bit more lush, then pick them and eat them!

Potato

That sprouted potatoes are poisonous is an old topic. That's right, sprouted potatoes are poisonous, but you shouldn't throw them away either. We can cut the sprouted potato into pieces, one for each eye, then bury the potato pieces in soil. When you remember, give them a little water; if you forget, then never mind, it's just that casual! Even so, the potatoes will grow day by day, and once the sprouts gradually grow they will become an attractive potted plant. After growing them this way for a while, if you find you no longer want to keep them, you can pull them out, and you'll find a little surprise underneath waiting for you!

Garlic

Garlic is also famously easy to grow. If you want to turn garlic into a potted plant, just put the garlic directly into a container filled with water! The only difference from sweet potatoes and potatoes is that the garlic you choose isn't sprouted garlic meant for the bin, but plump, healthy garlic. If it has wounds on it, that may cause the garlic to rot.

Lettuce

Compared with the other three vegetables, lettuce is probably the most difficult, but don't worry, let Huahua explain slowly. Although growing lettuce is a little more complicated, it is actually still very simple. Put the lettuce seeds in a larger container, then scatter in the lettuce seeds, gently press a layer of soil over the seeds, and water and fertilize the lettuce every few days, and the lettuce will grow into a big potful. Lettuce usually grows very densely, and a dense environment is not good for its growth. At this point you can pick the thinned seedlings to eat, and after a while, once the lettuce has grown, you can pick lettuce leaves to eat. That way, by picking and growing continuously, you can eat lettuce all year round! Even if it's a bit of trouble, so be it!
