Grow flowers without spending money on potting soil; these few things work even better

For flowers and plants to grow well, they need plenty of nutrients. So many people not only give their plants flower fertilizer, but also buy potting soil to grow them in, yet the results are not necessarily good. It would be better to make some potting soil yourself. I just happened to hear from an experienced flower-growing friend that pine needles, bones and fallen leaves mixed into the soil can make plants grow more and more luxuriantly. Let me introduce it to you below!

Pine needles

When out for a trip, you often see lots of pine needles by the roadside, so you can pick some up and take them home; using them to grow flowers really works superbly. Before use, however, they need to be disinfected. You can use a microwave to sterilize them at high temperature, then use them as a bottom layer or crush them and mix them directly into the soil. This way they add plenty of nutrients to the plants and also increase the soil's air permeability, preventing root rot.

Bone meal

Bone meal is made by collecting the various bones left over from ordinary meals, then putting them in a pot to boil so the salt is washed off, then drying them in the sun and grinding them into powder. When repotting plants, you can mix bone meal into the soil as a base fertilizer for growing flowers, which supplies the plants with plenty of calcium, phosphorus and other elements, making them grow more and more vigorously.

Fallen leaves

Walking along the street now, you will basically see fallen leaves everywhere, so you can pick some up and take them home. Before use, the fallen leaves also need to be disinfected and sterilized. You can put them under the sun to bake for a few days, then mix the fallen leaves into the soil, add an appropriate amount of clean water, and put it under the sun to bake. Once fermentation is successful, use it to grow flowers; it can also increase the soil's air permeability.

The 3 things above can be used separately, or you can mix pine needles, bone meal and fallen leaves with soil in a 1:1:2 ratio, stir evenly, and then use it. This can effectively promote plant growth. Fellow flower growers can give it a try.
