More and more friends like to keep some green potted plants at home, such as lucky bamboo, clivia, pothos and spider plants. These flowers are not only good-looking but also easy to care for. So they are also very popular common flowers. But when caring for them indoors, if you want them to grow emerald green and strong, you need to carry out reasonable care, with fertilization, watering and light all appropriate and proper. For example, when fertilizing flowers, many fertilizers actually come from daily life. Soybeans at home can be fermented into organic fertilizer to supplement nutrients; expired vitamin tablets and aspirin tablets can all be used to fertilize flowers.

So as long as you are good at noticing and good at summarizing, many things in life can actually be used to grow flowers. What I am sharing with you today is using sesame from the kitchen as flower fertilizer. With the improvement of people's living standards and conditions, many families now have very abundant daily supplies, so it is inevitable that some surplus or expired things will appear. If you have expired sesame at home, after processing it can be used as flower fertilizer, and the effect is very good. So the topic I am sharing with you today is:

Sesame is rich in oil and protein. The sesame oil we usually eat is obtained by pressing sesame, so sesame contains a large amount of phosphorus and nitrogen, which can supplement rich nutrients for plant growth. If you have expired or slightly moldy sesame at home, do not throw it away. It can be used as flower fertilizer, and the effect will definitely be excellent. Especially flowers like pothos, spider plants and clivia at home love fertile organic fertilizer.

Dry-frying

If there is spoiled sesame, put it in a hot pan and dry-fry it for about ten minutes without adding anything. The main purpose of dry-frying is to prevent some sesame from still being viable and sprouting roots and shoots during the later fermentation process, which would affect the fermentation effect of the fertilizer. So the purpose of dry-frying is to kill the sesame seeds that are still viable.

Fermentation

Put the hot fried sesame into a plastic bottle, add water to the bottle, and fill the water level to a point 5 cm below the bottle mouth. The reason 5 cm is left unfilled is that sesame slightly expands during fermentation, so leaving an empty space prevents the fertilizer water from overflowing. Because sesame contains nitrogen, an odor will be produced during fermentation. While adding water, you can also add some orange peel and lemon peel to the bottle, which can effectively remove the nitrogen smell. Put the bottle in a cool place and ferment for about two weeks. When you see foam appearing at the bottle mouth, it means the fertilizer has fermented fully.

Dilution

After opening the fermented fertilizer, dilute it with water at a ratio of 1:10. Pour it directly into the flower pots of some household flowers such as pothos, spider plants, clivia and kalanchoe. It can provide rich organic fertilizer for plant growth. If you find there is still an odor after opening the bottle mouth, you can leave the bottle open outdoors and air it for 3-5 days, and the smell will be completely gone. Then dilute it and water the flowers.

Warm reminder:

When growing flowers at home and using this fermented organic fertilizer, be sure to apply thin fertilizer frequently. The point is to fully dilute the fermented fertilizer before using it to water flowers. Otherwise, if the fertilizer concentration is too high, it will directly burn the flowers. In severe cases, it may cause the plant to die. So if you want to use organic fertilizer well, you must dilute it fully and then water the flowers frequently in multiple applications.

Generally, when growing flowers at home, if you have some expired peanuts, soybeans, sesame or tablets, they can all be fermented and used as organic fertilizer to water flowers. The effect is very good and makes the plants grow lush and emerald green.
