Add 2 things from the kitchen to snake plant, and in 30 days it will sprout thick new shoots

More and more people like to keep a few green potted plants at home, especially families who have just renovated their homes. They will place some plants in the room that can absorb formaldehyde and purify the air, such as pothos, snake plant, spider plant, Christmas cactus, and so on. They can not only absorb harmful substances in the air, but also decorate the room. At the same time, seeing green plants at home always gives people a sense of hope and vitality.

Because snake plant is attractive, easy to grow, and can also absorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene, many flower growers choose to keep a pot of snake plant at home. But for such a good flowering potted plant, if you want to grow a few more pots, do you still have to buy more? Actually, there is no need, because snake plant has two main propagation methods: leaf cuttings propagation and division propagation. Leaf cuttings propagation grows new shoots relatively slowly, while division propagation grows new shoots relatively quickly. So if you want to grow more snake plant pots, you need to let the potted plant grow more side shoots, and then through division propagation you can get more snake plant pots.

But many flower growers will also wonder, how can snake plant be made to grow more side shoots? To make snake plant grow more side shoots, besides using proper cultivation methods, fertilizing is very important, so today Shitou shares with you the topic:

"2 kinds" of things in the kitchen have a "fast effect" on snake plant, add a little and in 30 days it will shoot up "steel shoots"

Snake plant is a relatively typical foliage plant, so during the plant's growth process, supplementing nitrogen fertilizer is especially important, and there are two things in the home kitchen rich in nitrogen fertilizer. They are suitable for fertilizing snake plant, and if they are buried in the snake plant flowerpot, they will soon have a fertilizing effect, and within a month you can see the snake plant send up side shoots.

Soybeans

Every household has soybeans, and soybeans are rich in protein, which means they also contain a lot of nitrogen. After boiling the soybeans in a pot, let them cool, then dig 5-6 small holes around the edge of the snake plant flowerpot. Then directly bury 2-3 cooked soybeans in each small hole, and let the soybeans naturally ferment in the potting soil. Because they are cooked soybeans, fermentation is fast, and there is no odor during fermentation. They can soon be absorbed by the snake plant roots. After supplementing nutrients, the snake plant can grow many side shoots, especially in the cool autumn, when snake plant grows very fast, and fertilizing can make side shoots burst out.

Waste cooking oil

There is another thing in the kitchen rich in nitrogen, and that is the waste oil in the range hood. It is formed when cooking oil, after volatilizing at high temperature during cooking, is absorbed by the range hood and accumulates into grease. So each time you clean the range hood, you can directly bury 1-2 spoonfuls of the waste oil in the snake plant flowerpot. It can provide sufficient nutrients for snake plant, so the snake plant will not only grow robustly, but also quickly grow side shoots.

For these two common flower fertilizers in the kitchen, you must control the amount of fertilizer during use. Do not be greedy for too much, otherwise it will cause fertilizer damage to snake plant and lead to root rot, and the loss will outweigh the gain. Generally, the principle of fertilizing flowers is to apply thin fertilizer frequently. In addition to proper fertilizing, during cultivation you should water thoroughly each time, do not let water accumulate in the pot, keep the soil moist, and place the potted plant in a place with good light, and it can grow healthily.

Fertilize this way once every two weeks. One month after fertilizing, the snake plant will grow many side shoots; after the side shoots grow up, they can be divided into many snake plant pots, which saves money and is convenient.
