It is now autumn and also National Day, and many flower lovers buy fruit online. Generally, fruit is transported in foam boxes. You can cut the unused foam boxes into small pieces, and then when propagating roses by cuttings in autumn, insert the trimmed rose branches into the foam, let their roots pass through the foam by two cm, and then put it in a basin of clean water; because the foam always floats on the water surface, the rose branches will also float on the water surface. This cutting method can quickly make rose branches root. Generally, after about 5 days you will see white roots growing on the roses.

Autumn is also the best period for propagating gardenias by cuttings. Cut off a 10 cm long current-year branch of gardenia, and make a slanted cut at the bottom. Then leave a pair of leaves at the top, insert the branch into the foam board, and put it in clean water, which can speed up the rooting rate of the gardenia branch. Generally, after rooting, keep caring for it for another 1 week, and then it can be potted and put into soil. This is 1 effective way to promote gardenia rooting.

Other uses of foam boxes

1. When repotting and changing soil for flowers, especially for some large potted flowers, you can line the bottom of the flower pot with crushed foam pieces as a drainage layer. Foam pieces replacing bricks can reduce the weight of the flower pot, and lining with foam pieces can likewise prevent water accumulation in the pot, which causes root rot and plant death.

2. You can use foam boxes to grow vegetables and flowers on the balcony as flower pots. Especially when growing vegetables, using foam boxes as large vegetable-growing containers is very practical; of course, you can also use foam boxes to ferment organic fertilizer. When fermenting bean dregs, oil dregs, and soybeans, you can pour them into a foam box, add water and soil, and the fermentation speed is very fast, with the effect of keeping warm and retaining water.
