Growing flowers doesn't need fertilizer, a few drops of waste oil works better than any fertilizer, the more you grow them the more they thrive

Growing a few potted flowers doesn't just add a bit of fun to life, it also beautifies your home environment, so you could say it kills two birds with one stone. Speaking of growing flowers, many people nowadays have made flowers part of their lives, tinkering with plants and flowers every morning and evening. Indeed, growing flowers is a way of cultivating the mind. But growing flowers is also a skill. There's a lot of knowledge involved, so not everyone can grow flowers well. Besides understanding the growth characteristics of various flowers, you also need to learn to use some tricks from daily life to grow them, so they get better and better.

There are many little tricks from daily life you can use for growing flowers

Growing flowers can be said to come from life and be taken from life. Why do we say that? I'm sure everyone knows the benefits of watering flowers with rice-washing water, right? And using fermented soy milk as a nitrogen fertilizer for flowers. Knowledge like this all comes from life and is used for growing flowers. Besides the two tricks mentioned above, there are many other little tips. For example, the "waste oil" from the kitchen that Potted Plant Stack is sharing with flower lovers next can also be used to grow flowers. And using it for growing flowers really counts as reusing waste! Once you've used it, you can even save the money you'd spend on fertilizer for your flowers.

Can you tell what it is from the picture above? That's right, it's the all-too-common "range hood waste oil" from the kitchen. The kitchen basically cooks every day, and the range hood's job is to absorb the gas particles from hot oil. Over time, the bottom of the range hood gets covered in grease stains, just like in the picture above. It's exactly this "waste oil" that, for flower growers, is a rare and excellent fertilizer. That's because waste oil contains various minerals and organic matter - after all, cooking oil comes in many kinds, like rapeseed oil, peanut oil, animal fat and so on. The minerals that evaporate out are all absorbed by the range hood.

Use a small container to store the waste oil from the range hood, and when you find suitable weather, you can use it on your flowers. This waste oil, because it's rich in organic matter and minerals, is a great "all-purpose fertilizer" for growing flowers. Whether your flowers lack nitrogen, potassium or iron, you don't need to worry - just drip a few drops into the flower pot, once or twice a month, and you can be sure your flowers and plants will grow more and more vigorously. Not only will they be lush with branches and leaves, but flowering will also be extended, since the potassium in waste oil helps prolong the flowering period.

This waste oil is found in every household, easy to obtain, and easy to use. It would be a pity to just throw it away - how nice to use it for growing flowers. Whether it's spider plant, pothos, kalanchoe or Christmas cactus, clivia and so on, it works for all of them. Just remember one thing when fertilizing: when applying the waste oil, you need to poke a few small holes in the soil of the pot, as close to the edge of the pot as possible, so it will quickly be absorbed by the soil.

That's all for the little trick about growing flowers with waste oil, thanks for reading!
