Sprinkle a handful of ash in the pot, and all the mosquitoes and bugs will flee. In a single day, 10 sprouts shoot up, almost bursting the pot.

Those who have lived in the countryside know that cooking and heating there use corn, peanut and other crop stalks, and the ash left after burning these stalks is wood ash. It can prevent root rot, promote rooting, supplement potassium fertilizer, and also control pests and diseases. It can truly be called an all-around helper for growing flowers!

Spray a little wood ash on your flowers, and aphids and red spider mites will all die off!

1. Scoop out the wood ash from the bottom of the stove and put it into a plastic bag.

2. Find a discarded plastic bottle, shovel a small scoop of wood ash into the plastic bottle, then fill the bottle with clean water. The ratio of wood ash to clean water is roughly 1:10. Tighten the bottle cap and shake hard so the clean water and wood ash dissolve as quickly as possible.

3. Pour the upper clear liquid of the wood ash into a spray bottle, and spray it toward the branches and leaves infested with red spider mites and aphids. Use it about once every 2 weeks, and the aphids and red spider mites will disappear without a trace!

Smear a little wood ash on the roots, and they will never rot again, recovering quickly!

1. When you normally trim the roots of a plant with root rot or repot and trim the roots, if the trimmed roots are not disinfected, they can easily become infected with pathogens when potted up, causing root rot. At this time, you can use a little wood ash.

2. Apply wood ash to the cut surfaces of the roots, leave them to dry in a bright, ventilated spot, and then repot. This can increase the survival rate and prevent root rot.

Mix a little wood ash into the soil, and your flowers will be sturdy and rarely get sick!

1. Wood ash is rich in potassium. Mixed into the soil for growing flowers, it not only makes the roots thick and strong and the flowers large and brightly colored, but also enhances disease resistance, so pests and diseases are not attracted!

2. When mixing soil for flowers, besides the normal substrate, add a few scoops of wood ash, or mix wood ash and base fertilizer at a ratio of 1:40, then place the mixture at the bottom of the pot.

Spread a layer of wood ash in the pot, and small sprouts will pop up vigorously!

When sowing flowers and plants in autumn, after sowing, you can sprinkle a thin layer of wood ash on the surface of the pot. This can help the soil retain moisture and warmth, and the seed germination rate will be higher.

Spread a layer of wood ash on the pot surface, and the flowers will withstand the cold and not freeze to death!

Because wood ash is black in color, fine, and has few gaps, its insulation effect is relatively good. In autumn and winter, if you are afraid your flowers will freeze, you can sprinkle a layer of wood ash on the surface of the flowerpot to help the flowers resist the severe cold.

Wood ash has so many wonderful uses for growing flowers,

so how can you get it?

You can usually collect some fallen leaves and weeds,

find a safe place to burn them,

then collect the ash and use it!
