Broken tile pieces

The soil in the flower pot lacks nutrients, becomes dry and hard and clumps together, and easily clogs the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. Therefore, potted plants need timely soil loosening to increase the soil's air permeability.

Go to a nearby wasteland or construction site and pick up some thin old bricks and tiles. Crush them into small pieces and spread them at the bottom of the flower pot, and they will provide ventilation and breathability. Without loosening the soil, they can still drain water and remove moisture smoothly, so you never have to worry about waterlogging and root rot again. Even delicate orchids will have fresh, bright leaves.

Loofah sponge

The loofah sponge used for washing dishes, don't rush to throw it away when it wears out. Cut it into small pieces and put them in the flower pot, fill it with soil, and you can plant flowers.

Nothing is more water-absorbent and breathable than a loofah sponge. When used to grow flowers and green plants, the soil is less likely to dry out, clump, or deteriorate. After the loofah sponge decomposes, it can also become natural nitrogen fertilizer. The plants grow stronger and stronger, and soon they will fill the pot.

Quail eggs

In the hot summer, if you want to fertilize plants but are afraid of poor dosage control leading to compost burning and root rot, you might as well bury a few quail eggs in the flower pot. The leaves will immediately grow vigorously with a glossy shine.

Use a toothpick to poke a small hole in the top of a fresh quail egg. For a small to medium-sized flower pot, 2-3 quail eggs are enough. For a large flower pot, the number of quail eggs can be increased as appropriate.

First spread 2-3 cm of soil at the bottom of the flower pot, then fix the punctured quail eggs in the soil with the tops facing up, and then cover the surface with soft sandy soil. In this way, the egg liquid can naturally ferment in the soil, and after the eggshells decompose, they can also serve as potassium fertilizer to nourish the plants, so the plants can continuously absorb nutrients from them.

Sesame oil

Summer is a time when pests occur frequently. Household flowers and plants sometimes inevitably suffer from pests such as ants and aphids, which not only harm the flowers and plants but also easily invade the human body and are harmful to health. To prevent ants, spiders, and other insects, simply smear some sesame oil around the edge of the flower pot. This can drive away small bugs and keep them away from the plants.

Garlic

Everyone knows garlic can fight bacteria and reduce inflammation. It can not only enhance human resistance but also strengthen the pest resistance of flowers and plants. Peel and mash the garlic, crush it into minced garlic, then dig a small hole in the flower pot and bury it in the soil to prevent ants and snails.

Floral water

In summer, every household cannot do without floral water. Floral water can relieve prickly heat, stop itching, and repel mosquitoes, and it can naturally also protect plant leaves from aphid damage and make the leaves green and glossy.

Pour floral water into clean water, dilute it at a ratio of 1:50, put it into a spray bottle, and spray it on the plant leaves once every 4-5 days. This can effectively prevent aphids, and there will no longer be wormholes on the leaves. Floral water has a relatively high alcohol content, so it must be diluted before use, otherwise it will burn the plants.

Expired milk and yogurt

If plant leaves turn yellow, it is very likely due to a lack of nutrients. Don't throw away expired milk. Put it in a plastic bottle, place it in a sunny spot to ferment for about a week, and it becomes excellent nitrogen fertilizer. Dilute it with water and use it to water flowers, so the plants can also "drink" enough nutrients.

Yogurt itself is a fermented product and is rich in probiotics and nutrients. Dilute unfinished yogurt directly with water and it can be used as fertilizer. Watering flowers with yogurt keeps the leaves from turning yellow and makes the flowers bloom vigorously.

Rice vinegar

The leaves of water-grown pothos and money tree turn yellow. What should you do? Use this seasoning from the kitchen, and the leaves will quickly turn green. It is rice vinegar, which is rich in amino acids and also contains a variety of vitamins.

Dilute rice vinegar at 1:1000, wipe both sides of the leaves, and then rinse once with clean water. This allows the leaves to absorb the nutrients in it and become translucent and glossy.

Before flowering plants bloom, spray a little rice vinegar on the flower buds, and it can also make the flowers bloom more vigorously.

Banana peel

After eating a banana, casually use the banana peel to wipe the leaves of the clivia at home. The orchid will not have yellow leaves or wither, and will become more and more full of vitality. It can not only nourish the leaves but also remove dust from the leaves, and the leaves will become extremely glossy.

One thing to remind everyone is that banana peels have a sticky substance that can easily clog leaf stomata, so after wiping with them, it is best to clean with clean water once. In addition, used banana peels can also be made into fertilizer together with eggshells and food scraps. Cut them up and bury them in the flower pot, and they become free potassium fertilizer.

Beer

Beer is rich in amino acids, and also contains phosphate components and potassium elements needed for plant growth. Wiping leaves with beer is also a good way to prevent yellow leaves and nourish plants.

Beer contains a large amount of maltose. Wiping leaves directly will attract more dust, so beer can be diluted and sprayed on the leaves. Whether wiping or spraying beer, after about 3 hours, it needs to be rinsed once with clean water to prevent sugary substances from clogging the stomata.

How is it, pretty convenient, right?

Come and give it a try!
