Put some old loofah sponge at the bottom of the flower pot, and the plant will stay far away from black rot and root rot from then on
In autumn, not only does the weather turn cool, but even vegetables and fruits begin to enter the harvest season. In fact, besides vegetables and fruits, many of the plants and flowers in our homes are also in their growing season right now, and each one is growing at a rapid pace. It seems autumn really is a season suited to growing flowers.
In fact, it is not only because many flowers and plants grow relatively fast in autumn; even some things found along the roadside can be used to grow flowers, and the effect is quite good. So Huahua will not keep you in suspense any longer and will tell you right away just which few things can work so well for growing flowers.
The first type: loofah sponge
The loofah sponge Huahua mentions here is not the kind we scoop out when eating it. Because in autumn, the loofah vegetable has gradually stopped bearing fruit, and many farming families choose to leave old loofahs on the vine to dry in the wind, so as to save the seeds needed for planting loofah the following year. These flat, dried loofah sponges can then be used to grow flowers, and the effect is truly quite good.
The specific method is to remove the black seeds from the dried loofah sponge, because over time these black seeds will rot in the soil, which is not good for caring for plants. Next, we can place the prepared loofah sponge at the bottom of the flower pot. Because the loofah sponge itself has water-absorbing properties, after it is placed at the bottom of the pot, if too much water is given, it can absorb part of the moisture. And after placing the loofah sponge there, it can also enhance the air permeability of the soil, so the flowers and plants will naturally grow more and more vigorously.
The second type: grass roots
In autumn, some weeds along the roadside gradually begin to wither, just waiting to revive the following spring. These dry wild grasses look unremarkable, but the grass roots hidden in the soil are a miraculous tool that can be used to grow flowers. Because grass roots grow in the soil for a long time, they naturally absorb a lot of nutrients, and since they are also plants, their fertilizer effect is relatively easy to absorb.
What we need to do is first cut the grass roots into shredded strips, then add water and ferment them in the sunlight. After about half a month of fermentation, they can be used. We can likewise bury them in the soil of the flower pot, so that the nutrients of the grass roots will slowly seep out into the soil and provide nutrients to the plant's roots.
The third type: fallen leaves
We have known since childhood that autumn is the season of fallen leaves, and the roads are sometimes covered with golden fallen leaves. It is very beautiful. We only see the surface of the fallen leaves, not realizing that they can also be used to grow flowers. Whether made into leaf mold or placed directly into the soil, they can play a big role.
Before using fallen leaves, we first put them in the sunlight to bake for several days, so as to sterilize and disinfect them. After that, we can add water and put them into the soil to ferment and make leaf mold, which can provide sufficient nutrients when used as a cutting medium. We can also put them into the soil of the flower pot to slowly ferment and provide nutrients. Both of these methods are very good for growing flowers.
