Clivia, kalanchoe and Christmas cactus love this kind of kitchen waste oil the most; one small spoonful and they burst into bloom
Growing flowers is one of life's pleasures, but growing them well is a very tedious affair that takes a lot of time and energy. Take the clivia, kalanchoe and Christmas cactus we commonly see, which are deeply loved by many people, and yet to make this kind of flower grow well, with lush branches and leaves and bright blooms, is not so easy.
The growth and flowering of plants requires nutrients, and "flower fertilizer" can be found everywhere in daily life. For clivia, kalanchoe and Christmas cactus, they love this kind of "kitchen waste oil" above all; just one small spoonful and they burst into bloom.
This "kitchen waste oil" is the waste oil from a range hood. Every time the storage box is full, you can collect it. After fermentation, this waste oil is rich in nutrients that can make the branches and leaves more lush and green, and the flowers more numerous and more vivid.
The specific method: first use a bamboo skewer to poke a few small holes in the flower pot near the edge, with the depth kept at about 5-8cm; you can make them a bit wider, but be careful not to damage the large roots.
Then insert a straw, and pour one small spoonful of waste oil in through the straw, so that the waste oil can go from deep in the soil to the shallow part. After pulling out the straw, cover it with soil again, so that it can ferment better inside and release nutrients; after the plant absorbs them, growth and flowering are promoted.
This kitchen waste oil ferments rather slowly, so the amount and frequency must be controlled well. During the growing season, using it once a month is enough. Clivia super loves oily substances, so you can put in a little more, which can promote a more developed root system, thick green and glossy leaves, and bright flowers; while for Christmas cactus and kalanchoe, the amount should be smaller, and the interval each time should also be a little longer, about once every 40 days.
