After the loofah sponge is dried in the sun, wrap it around the outside of the flower pot, and flowers will no longer be afraid of the cold in winter

On the weekend, while browsing the vegetable market, I saw loofah, and suddenly wanted to eat it. I bought some and took them home, stir-fried them, and while eating, it felt like going back to childhood at grandma's house. When I was little, grandma often took Huahua to the fields where vegetables were grown to pick melons, which left a deep impression.

At home we grow eggplant, tomatoes, and small cucumbers, and also loofah. I do not know if everyone knows that loofah is not only for eating, but also has other wonderful uses! Loofah can also be used to grow flowers! Everyone probably does not know that, so let Huahua tell everyone about it!

To be precise, it is not the loofah itself, but the loofah sponge. We dig out the loofah sponge and dry it in the sun, finally pull off the seeds, cut the dried loofah sponge into small pieces, and then it can be used to grow flowers! So what exactly is the use of the loofah sponge?

Actually, the use of the loofah sponge is very simple. It cannot, like those organic fertilizers and chemical fertilizers, provide nutrients to plants, nor can it promote the growth of plants and flowers. What it can do is actually very simple, which is to help improve the air permeability and looseness of the soil. Friends who have grown many flowers or have grown flowers for a long time probably know that if we do not repot for a long time, the most direct result is soil compaction.

Once the soil becomes compacted, it will affect the absorption of water and nutrients by the plants, will make the plants gradually become fragile and malnourished, and over time they may very likely die.

In order to prevent soil compaction, this is where the loofah sponge comes into play. We place the dried loofah sponge at the bottom of the flower pot, which can make the looseness and air permeability of the soil quite good. This is when the loofah sponge does its job! In addition, the loofah sponge can also be wrapped around the outside of the flower pot, and it also has a heat-insulating effect, so everyone can give it a try in winter.

You can also cut the loofah sponge into pieces and bury it in the soil, which is also very good for increasing the looseness of the soil.

Besides preventing the soil from becoming compacted, the loofah sponge can also be used to wash dishes, though this was the practice of grandma's generation. Actually, the method is very simple: cut the dried loofah sponge into small pieces and use them to scrub dishes, which is the role of today's dishwashing sponges.

If everyone is interested, you can try using the loofah sponge to wash dishes, but if you are not interested, then do not force it. However, Huahua still has to say one thing: using the loofah sponge to grow flowers is really great!

You see, it turns out that some memories and details from our childhood can still be recalled now. This feeling is so good! I hope that the little trick of using the loofah sponge that Huahua told everyone today can help you! Let the soil for growing your flowers say goodbye to the problem of compaction from now on!
