Using eggshells to grow bonsai requires attention to disinfection; with careful care, the ornamental effect is excellent

Friends often ask me bizarre questions, like how to grow plants in an oil drum, or how to make your own fertilizer. At lunch today, a colleague was eating and handed over a tea egg, and while peeling the shell actually asked me whether eggshells can be used to grow flowers, and what flowers would be good to grow in them. Seriously, even during a meal there's no peace. Today let's talk about this small matter of growing flowers in eggshells.

Let's first talk about whether eggshells can be used to grow flowers. The answer is of course yes, because eggshells contain a lot of calcium and other trace elements needed for plant growth, so growing flowers in eggshells is certainly possible. Some friends may ask, so what kind is more suitable for me to grow? My personal suggestion is that since eggshells are small, you should not choose large flower varieties when selecting; succulents, aloe, and cactus are all fine. Now let's talk about how to use eggshells to grow flowers.

First, let me explain that eggshells can be used for planting whether raw or cooked, so friends who want to argue can take a rest.

Before using eggshells, to prevent bacteria inside, they must be sterilized and disinfected to ensure no insects will breed inside. We can also crush part of the eggshells into powder and mix them into the soil when planting flowers, which can better promote plant growth. Some friends just put the eggshells directly into the soil, but this is actually wrong; we need to crush the eggshells first.

The calcium in eggshells is beneficial to the growth of plants and flowers. If calcium is lacking, the flowers are prone to withering during the flowering period, and the leaves turn yellow and curl, making it hard to absorb nutrients and water, which leads to poor growth of plants and flowers and has a great impact on them.

Besides being used as a container for growing plants and flowers, eggshells can also be mixed into the soil for planting as fertilizer, providing essential nutrients for plants during growth. Of course, besides good nutrients, caring for the plants themselves is very important, because the calcium in eggshells is beneficial to plant growth, can enhance fertilizer, and help plants absorb the nutrients they need.

After saying all this, don't you feel you really like the plants that can be grown in eggshells? Hurry and collect all your eggshells, and be sure to wash them clean, then plant the plants we like. Placed together they are very beautiful and lovely, so let's enjoy them together.
