After fertilizing the flowers, the roots grew full of little gourds, and the flower pot was completely burst open

Flowers & Gardening 0 views
A couple of days ago, a gardening friend sent Huahua a photo: the snake plant (Sansevieria) at home had such vigorous roots that it actually burst open the plastic flower pot! In fact, it is not just the snake plant; other flowers are the same. Only when the roots grow strong can the leaves be greener and the flowers more vivid! So today, Huahua will teach everyone how to make your flowers' roots burst open the pot!

Give the snake plant a bit of cooked soybeans, and the roots will immediately burst open the pot!

Look at other people's snake plants; the long roots have already cracked the plastic flower pot. Aren't you super envious? Then hurry up and see how they all grow the snake plant's roots until they burst open the pot!

How to do it:

1. If you want the snake plant to quickly fill the pot, you can add some cooked soybeans. It is best to use moldy, shriveled soybeans. If they are plump and still edible, then don't use them, otherwise what a waste!

2. Put the moldy soybeans in clean water and boil them until they are soft enough to mash with a press of chopsticks, then take them out and let them dry.

3. At the edge of the flower pot away from the snake plant's roots, poke 3-5 small holes, bury the cooked soybeans directly in the snake plant's pot, then cover lightly with soil. Cooked soybeans contain enough nitrogen fertilizer. After the snake plant absorbs the nitrogen fertilizer, the roots will grow stronger and stronger, and it will soon burst open the flower pot!

Give the pothos a bit of urea, and the roots will grow wildly and crack the pot!

Huahua always thought before that the pothos roots were so thin and small, how could they burst open the pot? It was not until later, when Huahua saw the pothos roots posted by others, that Huahua was truly dumbfounded!

How to do it?

1. If you have urea at home, especially agricultural urea, its nitrogen fertilizer content is very rich, and it is very suitable for foliage plants like pothos.

2. Poke 2-4 holes at the edge of the pothos pot, then sprinkle in 3-5 granules of urea. When watering, let the urea dissolve and penetrate into the soil with the water, or mix urea with water at a ratio of 1:1000, and after dilution, water the pothos soil with it. This can supplement nutrients for the pothos and make its roots grow more and more!

Give the clivia a bit of peanuts and sunflower seeds, and the roots will grow full of big fat worms!

The first time Huahua repotted the clivia at home, Huahua was simply shocked! The clivia's roots were completely tangled together, just like big fat worms, so stunning!

Mix a handful of peanuts and sunflower seeds into the bottom of the pot, and the roots will sprout vigorously!


1. Clivia especially likes oil crops. When repotting clivia, you can grab a handful of peanuts and sunflower seeds and throw them into the bottom of the pot. Note that it is best to use plain peanuts and sunflower seeds; do not use the salty or sweet ones.

2. After placing peanuts and sunflower seeds at the bottom of the pot, cover with a thick layer of soil, then pot the clivia. Note that the clivia's roots must not directly touch the peanuts and sunflower seeds, to prevent root burn.

3. Peanuts and sunflower seeds are both oil crops. After using them for clivia, the roots can grow rapidly and quickly fill the entire flower pot!

Give the money tree a bit of slow-release fertilizer, and the roots will be full of little gourds!

Huahua kept a very large money tree (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) at home. Only when repotting a couple of days ago did Huahua discover that the money tree's roots had grown many little gourds. Huahua heard people say that this means it has been raised well!

How to do it?

1. You can go to the supermarket and buy a bottle of slow-release fertilizer, then sprinkle it directly on the surface of the money tree's pot. When the money tree is watered, the slow-release fertilizer will penetrate into the potting soil with the water, thereby supplementing nutrients and making the roots stronger and stronger!

2. If you cannot buy slow-release fertilizer at home, agricultural compound fertilizer also works! Dig a hole along the edge of the money tree's pot and bury 2-4 granules of compound fertilizer. This can also supplement nutrients for the money tree and make it grow gourd roots twice as fast!

Give the spider plant a bit of bone meal, and the radish roots will burst open the pot!

Every time Huahua sees other people's spider plants growing thick, strong radish roots, Huahua is extremely envious. It was not until later that Huahua got the secret recipe from an old flower farmer. In fact, spider plant radish roots are very easy to grow; you just need to feed it a little bone meal!

How to do it?

1. If you have leftover bone scraps from meals at home, it is best to add clean water and boil them to remove the salt, then put them in the sun to dry, or use a microwave to dry them directly.

2. Crush the bone meal with a wooden tool, or put it in a blender and grind it into powder. Dig a hole at the edge of the spider plant's pot and bury 2-3 spoonfuls. Let the nutrients from the bone meal penetrate into the soil with water, thereby supplementing nutrients for the roots!

3. Don't throw away the leftover rice water from home either. Put it in a bottle, let it ferment, then mix with water at 1:20 and pour it directly into the potting soil. This can also supplement nutrients for the spider plant and make its radish roots thicker and stronger!

Give the orchid a bit of pine needles, and the orchid roots will be white and strong!

Growing orchids is a technical job, so basically anyone who can grow orchids well is a master, let alone growing orchid roots so white and strong that they look as thick as ham!

How to do it?

1. If you want to grow orchid roots well, first you must ensure the potting soil is loose and breathable. So we can mix some pine needles into the orchid pot. Usually, go under a big tree and push aside the surface layer of pine needles; the darker part underneath is already rotted pine needles!

2. Soak the pine needles you picked up at home in carbendazim to disinfect them, mix them with leaf mold, then add some charcoal or river sand, and it becomes loose, breathable nutrient soil. When repotting orchids in autumn, directly use the prepared pine needle soil. The soil is loose and breathable, and the orchids will not rot their roots!
