5 vegetables whose roots you should not throw away after eating; grow them in water for 7 days and they become flowers a hundred times more beautiful than pothos

5 vegetables whose roots you should not throw away after eating. Toss them in water and they grow like crazy, becoming flowers in 7 days, a hundred times more beautiful than pothos!

1. Sweet potato - not ivy, but better than ivy

When it comes to sweet potatoes, what is the first thing you think of? Roasted sweet potatoes? The Taiwanese writer Lin Qingxuan, though a food lover, could never forget the sweet potato plant he caught a fleeting glimpse of at his teacher's home, and he wrote a piece especially to commemorate it.

Material: sweet potato

Container: To give the sweet potato roots more room to grow, a larger and deeper container is needed; a transparent one looks even better.

Planting: Plant it according to the direction of the sweet potato roots. Whichever end the roots face should be placed in the water. The water should not cover more than the middle; just enough to cover 1/2 of the sweet potato.

Tip: A sweet potato plant needs plenty of clean water, so pay attention every day to how much water is in the container. If you find the water is already less than 1/2 of the sweet potato's body, then you need to top up with clean water promptly.

2. Napa cabbage - it still has "talent" at home too

Too busy with work and missed the beautiful blooming season? No worries. The napa cabbage head you cut off can let you enjoy golden cabbage flowers at home, and the flowering period is quite long too.

Material: napa cabbage head

Container: A cup, bowl or plate will do; no need to be particular about the shape.

Planting: Take a complete napa cabbage base with a little bit of core, trim the base flat, place it flat directly in the container, and add an appropriate amount of clean water.

Tip: Please place it by a sunny windowsill and change the water once every 2-5 days. This kind of napa cabbage will even bloom when grown, producing golden cabbage flowers. Very pretty, right!

3. Onion - keeping me can help prevent colds

Bought too many onions and they are about to rot piled up in the kitchen? Quickly remove the rotten parts and grow them in water. Rest assured, an onion plant will not give off a pungent smell that makes you cry; instead, it can help prevent colds.

Material: onion

Container: A relatively shallow container that lets most of the onion head stay exposed; a narcissus bowl is most suitable, or a glass cup that can hold the lower half of the onion head. You can also enjoy the graceful look of the fibrous roots hanging down.

Planting: Cut off the onion's fibrous roots and place it in a container with water. Do not use much water; it should only touch the very bottom layer of the onion.

Tip: Change the water often and cut off dry and rotting roots. The water should not cover the bulb. Onions like plenty of light, so when growing in water, be sure to keep them in full sun.

4. Carrot - a touch of fresh charm at home

Do not throw away the cut-off carrot top! A small piece of carrot top can bring spring into the whole room.

Material: carrot top

Container: A plate or a glass cup will do.

Planting: Place the cut-off carrot top face down flat in a plate and add a small amount of clean water.

Tip: After the leaves grow out, you can trim the shape a little according to your preference, or wait until it grows bigger and plant it in soil in a flowerpot.

5. Ginger - from now on no need to fear sprouting

Oh no, the ginger has sprouted! It would be a pity to just throw it away; better to turn the situation to your advantage.

Material: ginger

Container: No need to choose an overly deep vessel for water growing; one of suitable depth that does not affect the look is enough.

Planting: Place the ginger with the sprout facing up in water. The water level should not be too deep; just shallow is fine. Add pretty stones for fixing and decorative effect.

Tip: Change the water every day. After the ginger leaves grow longer, you can also switch to growing it in sandy soil in a pot. Before long you can enjoy fragrant ginger flowers and also harvest quite a bit of tender ginger.
