Bury a handful of pillow stuffing in the flower pots of pothos and spider plants, and they grow like crazy!
A handful of buckwheat hulls, grow 10 pots of pothos to bursting
Benefits of buckwheat hulls
1, Buckwheat hulls are rich in rutin and vitamins, as well as trace elements such as calcium, selenium, zinc, potassium, and sodium. They can serve as phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, making leaves glossy green and plants robust!
2, Buckwheat hulls are cool in nature, loose and breathable, with strong flowability, and can maintain soil aeration!
Usage tips
1, Take an appropriate amount of buckwheat hulls, wrap them in two or three layers of clean plastic bags, then steam in a pot for 5~10 minutes to speed up decomposition.
2, Mix the steamed buckwheat hulls with sun-dried peat soil or garden soil, and it can be used as nutrient soil for growing flowers.
3, You can also skip steaming and mix them directly into the soil as a loose and breathable growing medium, because they do not decompose easily, and you do not need to worry about burning roots during use.
Sprinkle rice husks into the soil, and succulents grow plump
Benefits of rice husks
Rice husks are rich in potassium carbonate, and also contain trace elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur, making them a natural high-quality fertilizer.
Usage tips
1, First spread the rice husks and garden soil under the sun for 1~2 days to disinfect.
2, Find a plastic bucket, add a layer of rice husks, a layer of soil, spray some water, then another layer of rice husks and a layer of soil sprayed wet, finally add a layer of dry soil, cover with the lid, and place in the sun.
3, Open the lid once every month to release gas, and it will decompose in about half a year.
3, The decomposed rice husk soil is excellent nutrient soil. Mixed with peat and garden soil, it is loose and breathable, and can be used to grow succulents, orchids, and other plants.
Note: When rooting cuttings or repotting and transplanting, do not use too much rice husk soil. It is too loose and soft, and plants tend to fall over when watered, making it hard to root.
Sprinkle a handful of coconut coir into the soil, and azaleas and money trees grow more and more vigorously
Benefits of coconut coir
Coconut coir is the powder processed from coconut shells. It is loose and breathable, has good water retention and moisture retention, stable pH, and is weakly acidic. It can be used as a high-quality sowing and cutting medium!
Usage tips
1, Choosing coconut coir: When raising seedlings, be sure to choose low-salt coconut coir. When buying, do not follow the trend blindly; read the instructions clearly. If the salt content is high, the survival rate is very low.
2, Mixing the medium: The main component of coconut coir is cellulose, and it has no fertility itself. When using it, add base fertilizer, such as worm castings, chicken manure fertilizer, pine needle soil, or slow-release fertilizer.
If coconut coir is used alone, the root system will be very weak, and seedlings are prone to stunted growth~
