Autumn has arrived, and many flowers need repotting at this time, need top dressing, and so on, especially varieties that bloom in winter. Autumn top dressing is very important; whether the flowers bloom well depends entirely on this time. So quite a few flower lovers are asking, what fertilizer should the flowers at home use?

No matter which kind of fertilizer it is, we all have to remember one thing: apply thin fertilizer frequently, and never cause fertilizer burn that kills the potted flowers.

Back to the point. Today, Qiu Ma wants to recommend a rather hassle-free fertilizer for everyone. You don't need to specially buy it, and you don't need to worry that using it will burn the roots. Basically every household kitchen produces this kind of garbage every day: "eggshells." Don't underestimate them. Using them to grow flowers can be said to make whatever you grow thrive.

Eggshells contain calcium carbonate, which after fermentation turns into calcium, phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients that plants need. They can also make potted soil looser and prevent it from compacting, avoiding root rot in plants.

I'll share a few specific ways to use eggshells for growing flowers, for reference.

Before using eggshells, a very key step must be done first: after washing the eggshells clean, put them in the sun to bake for about 7 days to fully sterilize and disinfect them.

1. You can grind the sterilized eggshells into powder, poke holes directly at the edge of the flower pot, pour the eggshell powder in, and each time you water, the nutrients will slowly seep into the potting soil.

2. Process the eggshells into small pieces, mix them directly with the soil, and use it to plant flowers.

3. The water left after soaking eggshells in white vinegar can also be diluted with clean water at a ratio of 1:10 and used to water flowers.

But there is one thing you must remember: please do not directly place freshly cracked eggshells upside down on the surface of the flower pot. What the plant absorbs is not nutrition, but liquid that causes secondary fermentation. Not only does it easily burn the roots, it also more easily brings all kinds of small bugs and causes soil compaction, and so on. So, if you want to grow flowers well, reasonably using eggshells is the key.

That's all for today's sharing. Flower lovers, what other little methods for growing flowers have you used? You are welcome to leave comments and share and discuss together. Wishing everyone a happy National Day!
