If fate brings people together, they will meet even from a thousand miles away. Fate is truly hard to explain. The author's cousin once transferred money to the wrong Alipay account, sending more than 100,000 yuan to a strange man. She was frantic and called the other party, hoping to get the money back. She was also somewhat lucky: after the other side checked and confirmed that the cousin had transferred it by mistake, they immediately returned the money. Who would have thought the person on the other end was also a goofball and had sent an extra zero by mistake, so the cousin returned that to him too. Just like that, back and forth, the two of them actually started dating. As for the other person's character, sometimes fate is just that wonderful. So, in the vast sea of writing, the fact that you could scroll to the author's article is also a kind of fate. Since it is fate, give the author a follow and let our fate continue!

With the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people like to keep a pot of flowers at home. As the days of growing flowers increase, naturally there are some little methods and tips for growing flowers. For example, using rice water, vegetable leaves, and fruit peels to grow flowers is the shared experience of many flower lovers. And the longer you grow flowers, the more you can discover little joys and little methods in flower growing. For example, flower lover Uncle Li likes growing purslane, so he has a very good method for growing purslane. The purslane grown by Uncle Li can quickly grow into an old stump, and the plant shape is beautiful. So how does Uncle Li grow it?

To grow "purslane," you have to use "this method." The branches become "woody" in 8 months and turn into an old stump!

If you want purslane to grow fast, nutrition must keep up

The purslane that can be grown into an old stump is a small foliage plant. Its leaves are round, small, fresh, and cute. People gave it a nice and auspicious name, calling it "Golden Branch and Jade Leaf" (Portulacaria afra, elephant bush). If this small potted plant is grown into a bonsai, it is truly beautiful. What Uncle Li grows is this small-leaved purslane, also called purslane tree. Of course, flower shop owners all call it "Golden Branch and Jade Leaf."

If you want the purslane tree to grow fast, Uncle Li says you must first give it sufficient nutrition, and the purslane tree likes organic fertilizer, so it is best not to use compound fertilizer during care. Uncle Li uses fermented and decomposed soybean water to water it. Why can watering with soybean water make the purslane tree grow fast?

This is mainly because the purslane tree blooms little and is mainly grown for its leaves, so it needs a large amount of nitrogen fertilizer. Soybeans contain a large amount of protein and some vegetable oil. After decomposition and fermentation, these things form a compound flower fertilizer mainly containing nitrogen, followed by phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, so it is especially suitable for the growth of the purslane tree.

The method for making soybean water is as follows:

Take an appropriate amount of soybeans, then put them in clean water to soak. When the soybeans become larger and shiny, they are ready. Then put them in a pot and boil them. Boil until they can be crushed with one press of a spoon, then they can be put into a plastic bottle to ferment.

When putting them into the plastic bottle, it is best to also pour in the water used to boil the soybeans, and add some chopped orange peel and one piece of insecticide. Fill it to 8 parts full, cover it, and place it in a warm, ventilated place to ferment. Generally, it can be used after more than 40 days.

The method of use is as follows:

Take the upper clear liquid, mix it with clean water at a ratio of 1:50, and use it to water the purslane tree. Watering 2-3 times a month is enough.

It can make the purslane tree grow fast, with green leaves, vigorous and full of vitality, and it can also improve the looseness of the potting soil, making the potting soil loose and breathable with high nutrition, which is especially good for the growth of purslane.

The purslane tree that Uncle Li grew with soybean water became very thick and large in 8 months. During care, give it more sun, and it will soon become woody.

Other care for the purslane tree

With sufficient nutrition, the purslane tree can grow very quickly. But if you want the purslane tree to quickly become an old stump, you also need to pay attention to three points. Let's take a look!

1. Light

Purslane is a light-loving potted plant, so when caring for it at home, you must give it sufficient light. This is also the key to whether the purslane tree can grow into a bonsai. Especially in winter, the more sufficient the light, the better it grows. Except for shading in summer, at other times it should be grown in full light. It is best to place it on a balcony or by a south-facing window.

2. Watering

The leaves of the purslane tree can store water, so the potting soil is best kept slightly moist and on the dry side. Water again after the surface water of the potting soil has dried, and water thoroughly when watering. There must be no standing water in the pot. If you want the purslane tree to quickly become an old stump, you need to control water appropriately.

3. Pruning

If you want the purslane tree to become an old stump, pruning is truly key. Especially during its seedling stage, it should be pruned frequently. You only need to keep the main branches of its shape, and cut off as many of the others as possible. Only in this way can you gradually develop the plant shape you like, and it reduces the dispersion of nutrients, which helps the trunk thicken and become woody as soon as possible. After the shape is set, you should also promptly pinch off the growing tips to promote more branching. The best time for pruning is spring and summer, and you should promptly cut off its old branches, weak branches, and diseased branches.

At the end of the article, the author summarizes for everyone the three great quotes of straight men. If you do not yet have a girlfriend, you must avoid these three sentences. If you still want your girlfriend, you must also avoid these three sentences. If you want to change girlfriends, you must say these three sentences: "Awesome!" "666" "Sure, sure!"
