Don't throw away fruit pits after eating - toss them into a flower pot and they'll grow into creative little potted plants in just a week

Summer is a great season for eating fruit, because so many kinds come onto the market at this time of year, such as pomegranates, dragon fruit, and longan. After eating the fruit, never throw away the pits - toss them into a flower pot, and some will grow green little seedlings in just about a week, and with a pretty pot they can become creative little potted plants.

1. Pomegranate seed mini potted plant

The pomegranate fruit is very special, crystal clear like a ruby, and its seeds are relatively large compared to the flesh - usually when you eat one pomegranate, half of it is seeds. Of course, it would be a shame to throw them away. These pomegranate seeds can be planted. A potted pomegranate won't necessarily bear fruit, but growing one in a small pot is sure to look very nice.

Before potting, the pomegranate seeds must be rubbed clean, removing the transparent film on the outer layer of the seeds, and soaked for about 10 days before potting. For the potting soil, you can choose a fairly fertile and breathable sandy soil, and cultivate and care for it in a ventilated spot with good light. It can grow lush and green in about a month.

2. Dragon fruit mini potted plant

Dragon fruit has even more seeds, but they are rather small, and we usually just eat them straight down. To make a dragon fruit mini potted plant, you first need to take out its seeds, which is also very simple, and a dragon fruit seed potted plant looks fuzzy and soft, which is quite special.

First scoop out the dragon fruit flesh with a spoon, put it in a piece of gauze or clean stockings, and rub and wash it repeatedly in water. Once dried, it is ready to plant. You can directly scatter the dragon fruit seeds on the potting soil, then spray the soil moist. At the current temperature, it takes only about 7 days to grow small plants.

3. Longan seed mini potted plant

Like the 2 fruits above, longan seeds also need to be taken out first and the flesh washed off before potting. If they are not washed clean, they will easily rot when planted. Grown in a small pot, they are also very beautiful.

Longan seeds are fairly hard, so they also need to be soaked in clean water for about a week first. When you see the seeds cracking open, they are ready to plant. Plant the longan seeds evenly in the pot with the cracked part facing up, water them thoroughly, and place them in a spot with bright light to care for them. They will sprout in about a few days.
