Don't throw away kitchen waste - it's great fertilizer for your plants
Whether you succeed at growing plants comes down to how well you grasp certain knowledge and tricks. As part of daily life, potted flowers have become integrated into everyone's life. Many people say their plants always die on them, but in fact it's mostly down to their own lack of care. Put it this way: in daily life, as long as you put in a bit more care, you can grow any plant well. When it comes to growing plants, you naturally need to learn the tricks first. Next, I'll share with you some tricks from everyday life that can actually be used for growing plants. For example, kitchen waste - the "waste oil" in the range hood is great fertilizer for your plants!
It's kitchen waste, yet it's a great "fertilizer" for plants - use a little and it beats any fertilizer
Range hoods have now become standard equipment in home kitchens, and you naturally turn on the range hood every day when cooking. Over time, the range hood gets very dirty, absorbing and retaining quite a lot of waste oil. Many people don't know the value of this waste oil and just throw it away. In fact, for plant growers, it's a treasure. Using the waste oil from a range hood to grow plants makes for genuinely good fertilizer.
Why can the waste oil in a range hood be used to grow plants?
Because our cooking oil is either peanut oil, corn germ oil, or some other oil - whichever kind it is, it contains many nutrients, such as common proteins and minerals like calcium and zinc. These can actually be used to grow plants. After all, plants also need nutrients and trace elements. As I told you before, plants can't lack elements like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, otherwise their growth will be stunted. And the waste oil from a range hood happens to contain these substances.
How exactly do you use this waste oil to grow plants?
Since it's a kind of fertilizer for plants, the way you apply waste oil should naturally follow the plant's characteristics and the season. For example, right now in late autumn, you can dig a few small holes in the plant's potting soil, then drip a few drops of waste oil in. Remember to dig the holes as close to the edge of the pot as possible, and don't touch the plant's roots. After fertilizing, try not to water at first - wait until the next day to water. When using this waste oil to grow plants, don't add too much at once, and don't be too eager; you can use a little every two months.
What I've shared above is some knowledge about kitchen waste oil that can be used to grow plants. Fellow plant lovers can use it with confidence, since this trick has been tried out bit by bit by many of them. Put simply, growing plants comes from life and is used in life. Things like watering plants with rice-washing water, cooking soybeans and fermenting them as organic nitrogen fertilizer for plants, or dissolving aspirin tablets to help cuttings root - all of these come from everyday life.
In short, only with care can you grow plants well!
