The secret to pothos and spider plants growing like crazy: put a handful of pillow stuffing in the flowerpot
Recently a friend bought a buckwheat hull pillow, but it was stuffed too full and uncomfortable to sleep on, so they took some out, composted it slightly, and used it to grow plants - and it turned out to grow pretty well! Today Huahua will teach you how to use buckwheat hulls and similar things to grow plants!

as well as trace elements such as calcium, selenium, zinc, potassium and sodium, and can be used as
phosphorus-potassium fertilizer
, which can makeleaves glossy green
，and plants robust
！2. Buckwheat hulls are cool in nature, loose and breathable, and highly fluid, so they can maintain the air permeability of the soil!
How to use
1. Take an appropriate amount of buckwheat hulls, wrap them in two or three layers of clean plastic bags, then steam them 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 plants.
3. You can also skip steaming and mix them directly into the soil as a loose, breathable growing medium, because they do not decompose easily, so you don't have to worry about burning the roots during use.

A handful of coconut coir sprinkled into the soil, and azaleas and money trees grow more and more vigorously

good
，stable pH,
slightlyacidic
, and can be used as a high-quality sowing and cutting medium!How to use
1. Choosing coconut coir:
When raising seedlings, be sure to choose low-salt coconut coir. When buying, don't follow the crowd - read the instructions clearly. If the salt content is high, the survival rate will be very low.
2. Mixing the medium:
The main component of coconut coir is cellulose, and it has no fertility itself, so when using it you must add base fertilizer, such as worm castings, chicken manure fertilizer, pine needle soil or slow-release fertilizer.If you use coconut coir alone, the root system will be very weak and the seedlings will easily stall~
