Use loofah sponge this way, and you can both grow flowers and wash dishes, very practical

There are little tricks everywhere in life, and of course, only people who live with care will discover them. I still remember when I was a child, the yard at home was planted with many vegetables and potted flowers. Back then, growing flowers needed hardly any fussing over, they were all planted in the ground, and they still bloomed despite wind and rain without any care. Now let's talk about the vegetables grown, tomatoes, cucumbers, loofah and so on, everything you could want. Among them, the most unforgettable for me was definitely the loofah. Because loofah is not only delicious to eat, but the loofah sponge also has great uses.

After drying the loofah in the sun, remove the outer skin, then knock out the seeds inside, and then you can use it. Generally speaking, the loofah sponge has two good uses. One is for washing dishes and scrubbing pots. I believe any flower lover who has lived in the countryside must know this, right? It's just that nowadays not many people in the countryside grow loofah, and only some older households grow a few. Because the loofah sponge is fairly tough and very breathable, it is very suitable for scrubbing. Come to think of it, the principle behind the cleaning ball for washing dishes was also based on the loofah sponge.

Flower lovers who often grow flowers surely know that if potted flowers use chemical fertilizer for a long time, or are not repotted for a long time, then the potting soil easily becomes harder and harder and compacted. Compacted soil is naturally not good for the growth of flowers and plants. And the loofah sponge happens to have a net-like structure, both loose and breathable, with decent drainage performance too. So placing it under the bottom of the flower pot, or directly wrapping it around the outside of the flower pot, is more suitable than anything. In addition, the loofah sponge also has a certain heat-preserving effect, especially for flowers overwintering, and after placing it under the flower pot, it will also help the flowers get through the winter safely.

First, prepare the loofah sponge, then use scissors to cut it into small segments, just like in the picture above. Just place it directly under the bottom of the flower pot. Besides this use, you can also cut the loofah sponge a bit finer and mix it directly in when making your own nutrient soil, which can also achieve a very good effect of loosening, aerating and heat preservation. Of course, the loofah sponge is originally fiber, and even if it rots, it is very beneficial to the growth of flowers and plants.

Loofah sponge is rarely seen now. In fact, even without a small yard, living in a building can also work. In a few square meters of space on the balcony, open up a small corner, and potting one loofah plant is not out of the question. For those flower-growing masters, it probably shouldn't be hard to manage, right? The care of potted loofah is also relatively easy, not much different from growing flowers and plants, just pay more attention to applying thin fertilizer frequently, after all, potted growing is not the same as ground growing, space is limited, and fertilizer must keep up.
