Pick some up in autumn and toss it in the pot: strong roots, green leaves, a pot bursting with blooms, no root rot for 10 years, and it saves money too

Autumn is here again, and it's time to repot the plants at home! But where do you get all these gardening materials? Of course, you go out and gather them! Just take a stroll in the park and you can pick up great stuff. Hurry up and learn how!

Gather some pine cones under the trees and line the bottom of the pot to prevent root rot for good!

1. When you go out on a weekend or holiday, bring a plastic bag along. If you see pine cones that have fallen on the ground, just pick some up and take them home.

2. Take the pine cones home, soak them in carbendazim for 1 day, fish them out and dry them in the sun to sterilize and disinfect them. After that,

just line the bottom of the pot with the pine cones directly. Pine cones have fairly large gaps, so lining the bottom of the pot with them achieves a loose, breathable effect, preventing root rot caused by overwatering.

3. After lining the pot bottom, you can crush the remaining pine cones with a small hammer, add a bit of water, seal them up and let them ferment. When the pine cones turn black, they are fully fermented.

4. Mix the fermented pine cones with soil to use as nutrient soil. Pine cones are not only loose and breathable, but the pine oil they contain also has a sterilizing and disinfecting effect, making them very suitable for use as nutrient soil!

Mix some pine needles into the pot and your plants will grow vigorously!

1. Go to the area under a pine tree in your neighborhood or a park and poke around; you will see a thick layer of pine needles that has fallen on the ground.

2. Take the pine needles home, soak them in carbendazim to disinfect them, killing off the bacteria and insect eggs on the pine needles. You can also heat them in a microwave at high temperature to sterilize them. Then add some garden soil, mix it in, put it in a plastic bag and seal it up.

3. Leave the pine needles sealed in the sun to ferment. Basically after 2-3 months, when the pine needle soil turns black, it is essentially fully fermented. The fermented pine needle soil is loose and breathable, very suitable for growing flowers, and can be used as nutrient soil!

4. If you think the fermentation time is too long, you can also disinfect the pine needles you brought home directly, then spread a 3-5 cm layer on the bottom of the flower pot. Pine needles are loose and breathable; spread on the bottom of the flower pot, they let excess water drain out and prevent root rot.

5. Of course, you can also choose to spread a layer of pine needles on the surface of the pot. It is not only permeable and breathable, but also regulates the soil pH, and when watering, it also prevents the potting soil from splashing out.

Besides what Huahua has introduced,

things like leaf mold and river sand

can all be gathered outside.

So why not take action this weekend!
