Pothos and spider plants both grow so vigorously they fill their pots - this one thing from the kitchen is actually great fertilizer for plants
Many plant lovers enjoy growing foliage plants. Foliage plants, put simply, are potted plants that don't bloom, but their leaves stay evergreen all year round. The reason everyone grows leafy potted plants is mainly because they feel that with this kind of plant, the leaves are lush and green all four seasons, and whether placed in the living room or the bedroom, they bring a touch of vitality and add plenty of greenery to the home. Speaking of foliage plants, the most common ones are certainly pothos and spider plants.
These two plants are, I believe, grown in most people's homes! Although they are both very easy to grow, they can still develop yellow leaves. Next, let me share with you that this "1 thing" from the kitchen is a great fertilizer for plants - pothos and spider plants will absolutely grow more and more vigorously!
This thing is the "waste oil" from the kitchen range hood. Some people may wonder, what benefit does this stuff have for growing plants? Actually, just think about what a range hood does and you'll understand. In daily life, cooking uses all kinds of oils and seasonings. After peanut oil, rapeseed oil and others are volatilized at high temperatures, quite a few trace elements remain. There's nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and calcium that flowers need for growth, and even vitamins. You could say it gathers most of the nutrients. With this stuff for growing plants, how could they not thrive? And spider plants and pothos, these two foliage plants, are exactly what lack this kind of solid, genuine good fertilizer.
When using waste oil from the range hood, don't apply too much at one time. It's recommended to fertilize once every two months. When using it, there's no need to dilute it either - just pour a little into the potting soil along the edge of the pot. Of course, you can also dig small holes, one every 3-5 cm, and fill the waste oil in. This plant-growing trick comes from everyday life. Many plant lovers may not know it, but little do they realize this was summed up and tried out by veteran plant-growing experts over many years. From now on, when cleaning the range hood at home, don't throw away the waste oil anymore - what a waste. Just store it well and use it to water the plants.
When growing pothos or spider plants, the importance of fertilizer goes without saying. But no matter what plant you grow, or how good the trick is, it's actually secondary. The most crucial thing is to be "attentive" yourself. Why can other plant lovers keep discovering tricks for growing plants? Put simply, they explored and figured them out by being thoughtful about growing plants. A while ago, I shared an example with you: when growing clivia, everyone knows that watering with beer can prevent "clip arrows" (flower stalks stuck in the leaf base), but knowing how to deal with it once it happens is what really matters. An experienced plant lover solved it perfectly by covering the clivia with a black plastic bag. This is all knowledge.
