Sprinkle 1 jin of it into the pothos pot, and in 3 days it plumps up a full size, with leaves so fat they drip with oil
A few days ago, Huahua went to a friend's house, and as soon as she walked in she smelled a fragrant aroma. It turned out her friend was roasting sesame seeds! She thought once they were roasted she could have a taste, but unexpectedly her friend used them all on the plants at home! Why do houseplants love eating sesame seeds? Hurry up and follow Huahua to take a look!
Bury roasted sesame seeds in the pot, and the leaves turn green and shiny!
Autumn is the harvest season. If you have sesame seeds at home, fellow plant lovers, you can use them directly to feed your plants - the fertilizing effect is absolutely fantastic!
How to do it?
1. Take the raw sesame seeds harvested from the field and roast them in a hot pan. Be careful not to add any other seasoning while roasting. If you find that too troublesome, you can also just throw them into the microwave to heat them, and they will be dried right away.
2. Put the roasted sesame seeds in a container and use a small stick to crush them vigorously into powder, or you can just throw them into a blender and blend them directly into powder.
3. Store the sesame powder in a container. When you normally want to fertilize your plants, dig a few small holes near the edge of the pot away from the roots, use a small spoon to scoop the sesame powder directly into the holes, then cover with soil.
4. When you water, the nutrients from the sesame powder will seep into the soil along with the water, thereby supplementing nutrients for your plants, making your plants grow vigorously in autumn and their leaves greener and greener!
Scatter a handful of sunflower seeds into the pot, and the plants sprout like crazy!
Autumn sunflowers are all fully ripe. If the seeds in the big sunflower head you picked are not plump, you can just roast them and feed them to your plants!
How to do it?
1. Pick all the seeds off the sunflower, put them in a hot pan, and keep stir-frying over low heat. Once the fragrance of the seeds is released, they are roasted! Remember, when roasting the seeds, never add salt or sugar, otherwise your plants won't be able to use them.
2. Let the roasted seeds cool. When repotting your plants in autumn, just grab a handful of plain roasted seeds and place them at the bottom of the pot, then cover with a thick layer of soil and repot the plant.
3. Plain roasted seeds contain a large amount of oil-rich material, which can slowly release nutrients in the potting soil, supplementing nutrients for your plants, making your plants bloom like crazy in autumn - you won't be able to stop them even if you try!

Put some walnut shells at the bottom of the pot - drains well, aerates well, no root rot!
After eating walnuts at home, where do all those hard shells go? Of course, they're used to line the bottom of pots!
How to do it?
1. Collect the walnut shells left after eating walnuts, give them a light tap with a small hammer - roughly breaking them into pieces about the size of a coin is fine.
2. When repotting your plants, place the walnut shells at the bottom of the pot, about 3cm thick. If the shells are slightly more intact, it's best to place them with the opening facing down, which prevents water from accumulating at the bottom of the pot.
3. Walnut shells are fairly hard, so when placed at the bottom of a flower pot they don't rot easily. Moreover, the gaps between the walnut shells are relatively large, so if you overwater, the water can seep right out through the bottom of the pot, and won't accumulate there and cause root rot!

Mix peanuts into the soil, and the soil instantly becomes so rich it drips with oil!
Are you getting ready to harvest peanuts at home recently? What to do with those slightly spoiled or shriveled peanuts? Since people can't eat them, you might as well throw them into a pot and compost them directly!
How to do it?
1. Don't throw away the peanuts at home or the peanut shells left after eating peanuts - these are all great materials for composting soil in autumn! Just crush them with a small wooden stick, or step on them to crush them.
2. Throw the crushed peanuts and peanut shells into a wooden bucket, mix in some garden soil, stir it a few times, add clean water, then seal it up to ferment.
3. The weather in summer and autumn is still quite hot, so basically in 2-3 months you can compost it into fertile peanut nutrient soil! When repotting, mix it into the potting soil to supplement nutrients for your plants and make your plants grow more and more vigorously!
After reading Huahua's introduction,
has everyone learned it?
Why not hurry and take advantage of autumn,
and go get some from the field to feed your plants!
