Turn "garbage" into diluted plant food and your flowers will burst into bloom
But many plant lovers' little tricks are still based on "garbage" from daily life. In the past, Huahua never would have thought these leftover things we use could play such a big role in growing plants. So which "garbage" items can be used to grow plants? Huahua will tell you right now!
1. Fruit and melon scraps
Fruit is surely indispensable in our daily lives, but every time we finish eating there is always a big pile of peel left over. At this point we can use these peels to make a diluted fertilizer water for our plants. Generally, fruit peels contain a large amount of vitamins and trace elements, which can ensure the nutrition of plants during their growth period. Add a little to the water each time you water, and the effect is very good.
Specific method of preparation:
First we need to collect some leftover peels. Things like banana peels, watermelon rinds and orange peels are all fine. The next step is to wash them as clean as possible, so that no bacteria will breed during later use. After that we need to prepare an airtight container and put these peels in together with water. Fill the water to about eight-tenths full, then put it in the sun and wait for fermentation to finish before using it.
2. Tea dregs
Generally, the elderly in the family all have the habit of drinking tea. At this point, never throw away the leftover tea dregs. Use them to grow plants and you can make the branches and leaves grow stronger and more glossy. This is because tea dregs contain relatively more nutrients, and after rotting these substances are more easily released, and tea itself is a plant, so using it to grow plants is simply ideal.
How to use:
Tea dregs become soft after being brewed, so at this point there is no need to ferment them again. All we need to do is put the discarded tea dregs into the soil, combine them with the soil, and provide nutrients to the flower roots. But be careful not to place them directly in the very center, because the relatively large amount of heat produced by the tea dregs may burn the flower roots. Try to place them at the edge of the flowerpot. In addition, besides tea dregs, in daily life you can also use cooled tea water to water plants, and the effect is quite good too!
3. Waste oil
The waste oil here refers to the waste oil collected in the range hood in our daily lives. This stuff looks dirty and very greasy, but the fact that it contains a lot of oil also means it contains a lot of nutrients. Using it to grow plants can be said to get twice the result with half the effort!
How to use:
We collect the waste oil in one container, then add water to dilute it into a solution and it can be used for the beloved flowers at home. But it is best to use only a small amount at a time, because the oil is rather sticky and may cause the soil to clump together. After using it for a period of time, you will find that the flower roots grow thicker and stronger, and naturally the branches and leaves grow better and better too!
For the diluted fertilizer water made from the several kinds of "garbage" above, it is enough to use it about once every half month. If you have even better little tricks for growing plants, remember to leave a message for Huahua as soon as possible!
