1 egg has 8 brilliant uses in gardening; it can make flowers grow like crazy and you won't even need to buy fertilizer

Almost everyone who grows plants knows that eggs are great for gardening, but when you get right down to it, it's all just about putting eggshells upside down in the flower pot. If that's the only method you know, then you're really out of date. Today, Huahua is here specifically to talk about 8 ways to use eggs in gardening, and every single one is top-notch!

Compost eggshells into soil: more nutrients and it repels pests

These days everyone uses nutrient soil for gardening, and skipping fertilizer makes things so much easier. We can make our own nutrient soil with eggshells: heat up the eggshells you've saved in the microwave, or dry-fry them in a hot pan, then just mix them into the soil. No worries about bugs, and the nutrients are high.

Soak eggshells in vinegar water: fertilizer effect doubled

Composting eggshells into soil alone may not show an obvious fertilizer effect. For plant lovers who like to go "heavy duty," try crushing eggshells into a plastic bottle, adding vinegar to submerge the eggshells, soaking for 1 day, then filling it up with clean water, fermenting for 1-2 weeks, then diluting with water to water your plants.

Mix egg white with water: water your flowers for a nutrient boost

The nutrients in eggshells are relatively hard to break down; most of the nutrients that flowers and plants like are in the egg white. Take 1 egg white, mix with 1000ml of clean water, put it in a plastic bottle and ferment for 1-2 weeks, then you can use it to water your plants. It can serve as a nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer~

Water plants with egg-boiling water: flowers get fertilizer and stems grow strong

The water you use to boil eggs at home, once cooled, can be used directly to water your plants. Especially for plant lovers in southern regions, it can neutralize the acidity of the potting soil and make flowers grow more robustly. Aloe, cacti and succulents also love drinking egg-boiling water~

Cooked egg yolk can force blooming, don't forget it

If egg white is such good nutrition, then egg yolk is no slouch either. But this time you need to use cooked egg yolk: break it up and stuff it into the potting soil, which is equivalent to burying phosphorus fertilizer. Chinese roses, gardenias, pomegranates... lots of flowers love it.

Stick eggshells into the soil: prevent slugs and earthworms

Every time it rains, slugs, snails and earthworms crawl out near the flowers and plants. You can stick some large pieces of eggshell into the flower pot. Eggshells are fairly sharp and can block these soft-bodied creatures.

Use eggshells as flower pots: mini potted plants with high nutrients

Eggshells are full of nutrients and are the best for growing plants. So what if you use eggshells as flower pots? High in nutrients and breathable, where else could you find a flower pot like that!

Method:

1、

When cracking the egg, be careful to tap on the pointed "head" at the top, so the opening is smaller and most of the body is left intact. Rinse with water and let it dry.

2、

Careful plant lovers can use a sharp awl or the tip of scissors to poke a small hole in the bottom of the egg for drainage.

3、

The dried eggshells can be filled with soil, then planted with small plants like succulents, acorus grass, or pennywort.

Use eggshells for sowing seeds and leaf propagation: higher survival rate

Eggshells are great for growing plants, and even better for sowing seeds. Sprinkle in a peanut, soybean, mung bean, dragon fruit seed... and you can grow cute little seedlings~

They're also perfect for leaf-propagating succulents; good breathability makes leaf propagation go more smoothly.
