Don't throw away fruit pits after eating them. Bury them in a pot and they will root and sprout in 7 days, becoming a potted plant in 20 days.

The first one is the dragon fruit potted plant. Are there any gardening friends who, when eating dragon fruit, pick out the black seeds one by one? Surely not, but you can't say there are none either, because a few days ago I saw online that, because the first step in making a dragon fruit potted plant is to separate out the black seeds, then wash them clean.

Dragon fruit seeds are too small, so when planting them you can just scatter them directly into the pot. When they first sprout, don't put the potted plant in overly strong sunlight. Once the potted plant has grown to a certain extent, move it into a full-light environment. Picking out the black seeds one by one is indeed quite troublesome, but when they fall on the ground and make a real mess, you can still take them for sowing and propagation. Look at the picture below - that's a dragon fruit potted plant. Isn't it pretty?

Now let's look at the second one, the pomelo potted plant. Compared with dragon fruit, this "fruit pit" is easier to get. Right now is a good season for eating pomelo. There are red-fleshed ones and white-fleshed ones, and they are all quite tasty. Remember not to throw away the rind. Note that the pomelo seeds you collect should be plump and full; ones that are too small or not plump are very hard to grow.

You need to remove the shells from the pomelo seeds. You can use tweezers to remove the shells. If your fingernails are relatively long, you can just use your nails. The two ends of a pomelo seed are relatively thin, so after rubbing a bit more you can easily remove the shell. After removing the shells, your hands will be very sticky; just wash them twice. Put the peeled pomelo seeds in a container - a cup works - then add water. After a week, you can plant the pomelo.

Steps for planting a pomelo leaf potted plant: put the pomelo seeds in water, soak the shells soft, and use tweezers to remove the surface shells without damaging the flesh inside the seeds. Then find a container or a small potted plant you used before, fill it with moist soil, and arrange all the seeds, with the small end facing up. Don't place them too densely; arrange them in an orderly way, and the sprouts that grow later will also be neater.

You can find some coarse sand or small stones to spread over the seeds. Don't spread it too thick; just cover the surface so they have room to breathe. Spray water once every 2~3 days, not too much - just moist. They will sprout in a week. During the planting period, you need to replenish water frequently, keep the potting soil medium slightly moist, ensure the growing temperature is above 15°C, maintain sufficient scattered light, and maintain a certain level of environmental humidity. After sprouting, remove the plastic film and let it get plenty of light.

As the group of people growing potted plants keeps growing, the types of potted plants have also expanded from single common potted plants like pothos and spider plants to the cultivation of vegetables and melons and fruits. Not only do they still have rich greenery and ornamental value, but they also add edibility. Fruit pits casually thrown away can actually grow into potted plants. Surely many gardening friends can no longer hold back their curiosity and all want to give it a try?
