In everyday gardening, to make flowers grow better, you have to go to the flower market to buy fertilizer, which is troublesome back and forth and also costs money. Actually, in daily life, many discarded "garbage" items are great for growing flowers. Therefore, friends who grow flowers and plants, don't casually throw away your household garbage - maybe it is the best fertilizer for your flowers and plants! Use this "garbage" to grow flowers, and it is a hundred times more effective than flower fertilizer - kalanchoe, clivia, and pothos will grow like crazy!
1. Eggshells
Eggshells contain over 95% minerals, mainly calcium carbonate and protein, plus some magnesium, potassium, iron and phosphorus. They can promote plant cell division, root and flower bud development, and also improve plants' drought and cold resistance - a rare and valuable fertilizer.
After washing and drying eggshells, crush them as finely as possible - the finer the better. You can also grind them directly into eggshell powder. Dig a hole beside the roots of plants that need fertilizing and bury the crushed eggshells in the soil. Remember, the amount used each time should not be too much. You can also add some eggshells to the soil when repotting, to use as a base fertilizer. Pothos, spider plant, clivia, money tree, kalanchoe, geranium, Madagascar periwinkle and other flowers are all suitable for this.
2. Banana peels
Don't throw away leftover banana peels. Just find a plastic bottle, add clean water, then put the banana peels into the plastic bottle. Cover with the lid but not too tightly, and place in the sun to ferment. After about 20 days, it can be diluted with water and used as a nutrient solution. When using, dilute with water at a ratio of about 1:10. It is recommended to use once every 1-2 weeks.
You can also put banana peels in the microwave and bake them for a few minutes. Once the banana peels turn black and dry, take them out and put them in the sun for a day, then mash them up. Then dig a few holes around the edge of the pot soil, pour the banana peel powder into the holes, and cover with a layer of soil, so the plant can slowly absorb nutrients. Especially suitable for flowering potted plants such as Christmas cactus, azalea, gardenia, jasmine, kalanchoe, and clivia.
3. Waste oil from range hoods
Waste oil from range hoods is more suitable for fertilizer-loving flowering plants such as kalanchoe, Christmas cactus, clivia, and Chinese rose. Dig a hole at the edge of the flower pot and put in half a spoonful of oil. Be careful to keep it away from the roots, and don't use it too frequently - once every half a year is enough. After burying the waste oil, the leaves of flowering plants will become emerald green and glossy, and they will produce more flowers.
