Dry purslane in the sun and bury it at the bottom of the flower pot; this all-purpose fertilizer makes any flower thrive

When I lived in the countryside as a child, I often saw all kinds of wild grasses by the small river and along the edges of the fields. Purslane was one of those wild grasses, and it could also be eaten. But now many flower growers have taken to growing purslane as an ornamental plant, because its leaves are emerald green and it is very popular with flower growers. Of course, purslane has another clever use: drying it in the sun and using it as flower fertilizer, because it is rich in trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus and potassium, so flowers can grow very well.

How to use sun-dried purslane to grow flowers

After purslane is dried in the sun, it can be placed at the bottom of a flower pot. Then, when making nutrient soil, you can pick some fresh purslane, wash it, put it in the yard or on the balcony to bake in the sun for a few days, then crush it directly and mix it into the soil. This makes a base fertilizer.

Flower growers do not need to buy nutrient soil now; they can make it themselves and then keep the soil loose and fertile. Leaf mold, garden soil, sand and gravel, pine needles and so on can be combined to make acidic soil rich in a large amount of humus, which is very suitable for flower growth.

After flowers are planted, over time the trace elements in the purslane can be absorbed by the flower roots and used as nutrients for stems, leaves and flowers. In normal times, as long as you pay attention to watering, the flowers will bloom beautifully!
