Growing flowers is easy enough to say, but it's also really quite hard, especially for beginner flower lovers who are just getting started. Almost every time, they agonize over watering, fertilizing, and light, afraid their beloved flowers will die. Actually, everything has a secret trick to follow, and growing flowers is certainly no exception!

Huahua's neighbor is a flower-growing expert, and almost every pot of flowers in his home grows extremely vigorously. Naturally, Huahua had to ask him for advice, and only then did she find out that he has some little secret recipes for growing flowers. What's more important is that none of these secret recipes cost any money. So now Huahua will share all these little secret recipes with everyone!

1. Homemade nutrient soil

Soil is the foundation of flower growth, because the soil can provide a large amount of nutrients to the flower roots, so that the flowers can become robust. The nutrient soil the neighbor introduced is actually the leaf mold soil commonly used in flower growing, but making it yourself lets you control the amount and also gives better care results.

The steps for making nutrient soil are very simple. First, we go to the yard or a green belt and dig up a little garden soil, then put it under the sun to bake and sterilize it. The next step is to collect some dry fallen leaves. It happens to be autumn now, so this job is really easy. Then find a bucket and put in a layer of leaves, then a layer of soil, in that order, and water it. Finally, seal the filled soil in a black bag and leave it to ferment. After about two months, it's ready to use!

2. Expired grape powder makes diluted fertilizer water

When we water the flowers, we can add a little diluted fertilizer water along the way, and after a while we'll find that the plants and flowers grow more and more vigorously. Don't throw away expired grape powder; it can be used to make diluted fertilizer water. Grape powder contains a large amount of vitamins and trace elements, all of which can promote plant growth, and the effect is quite good too!

We just need to dilute the expired grape powder with water, at a ratio of about 1:100, and the diluted fertilizer water is ready. Water the flowers and plants at home with a little of it every half month, and they can bloom even more.

3. Put Chinese medicine residue at the bottom of the flower pot as fertilizer

Many times, root rot, yellow leaves, and other problems in our flowers and plants are caused by water accumulating at the bottom of the flower pot. At this point, we need to put something at the bottom of the flower pot, and the leftover Chinese medicine residue after decocting is a very good choice. Chinese medicine can be used to treat illnesses, so naturally the residue contains a large amount of nutrients. Using it at the bottom of the flower pot can not only prevent water accumulation but also provide nutrients to the soil.

What we need to do is bury the Chinese medicine residue at the bottom of the flower pot's soil, then add soil and water, and place it in a cool place to sit for about 2 months before using it. Using it as a base fertilizer to grow flowers really works very well.

Using the above 3 little secret recipes for growing flowers can make the flowers at home more glossy and pleasing to look at. Friends who need them might as well give them a try. If you have even better little secret recipes, you're also welcome to tell Huahua so everyone can learn together!
