What are the methods and benefits of using peanut shells to grow flowers

Peanut shells, everyone has seen them, nobody eats peanut shells, and the taste of peanut shells is not good at all. How do you use peanut shells to grow flowers? What are the benefits of using peanut shells to grow flowers:

How to use peanut shells to grow flowers:

Step 1: Crush the peanut shells from your home, preferably roasted and plain peanut shells, as they decompose faster; raw peanut shells also work, just roast them first.

Step 2: Put the peanut shells into a basin or jar, pour in water and soak for a few days, pour out the soaking water, change the water several times, and when the moisture content reaches 40%, pour some fermentation bacteria into the basin (it is fine not to add any if you do not have it at home), and stir evenly.

Step 3: Put the water-soaked peanut shells mixed with fermentation bacteria into a plastic bag, place it in the sun to bake, open the lid and stir once a week, and when the peanut shells turn black and crumble at a pinch, they are fully decomposed; in summer they can be ready in half a month.

Step 4: Mix the fully decomposed peanut shells with leaf mold soil; for growing orchids, the roots will be thick and strong, better than any other growing medium.

Benefits of using peanut shells to grow flowers:

Peanut shells are widely recognized as an excellent growing medium for orchids, loose and breathable, and also rich in nutrients; the orchids grown with them have strong, thick roots and never suffer from root rot.

That is all for the methods and benefits of using peanut shells to grow flowers; try this method quickly.

Homemade flower fertilizer: Clever methods for making flower fertilizer with eggshells, peanut shells and apple peels

  Many people like to grow some flowers and plants at home, and after keeping them for a long time, watering and fertilizing are unavoidable. For the potted flowers at home, many people make a special trip to the flower market to buy all kinds of flower fertilizers. In fact, the main nutrients needed for flower growth, such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, can all be collected in our daily life. Today, the editor will teach you how to make flower fertilizer cleverly with eggshells, peanut shells and apple peels.

  Using apple peels as fertilizer 

  Apples are now a fruit that people can eat all year round, and many people have a habit when eating apples - peeling them. After the apple is eaten, the peel can only be thrown away, but this is actually a great waste. Burying apple peels in the soil can provide rich nutrients to the soil, and it is most suitable for growing gardenias and jasmine.

  Peanut shells: supplement potassium and nitrogen 

  Many people like to eat peanuts; they taste good and can also nourish the stomach, so if peanut shells cannot be eaten, can they only be thrown away? No, no, no, you can burn the peanut shells to ash; the ash is rich in potassium and is especially suitable for caring for flowering plants with long flowering periods and many blooms, such as Chinese roses and camellias. Just sprinkle the ash directly on the soil around the flowerpot.

  You can also crush the peanut shells and put them in a plastic bag, add water, and let them rot; when using them, bury them in the soil, and they can provide nitrogen and also loosen the soil, making them especially suitable for money trees and orchids.

  Eggshells supplement trace elements 

  People who grow flowers all know that eggshells can supplement nutrients and trace elements for flowers, but placing them directly on the surface easily attracts insects. In fact, you only need to wash the eggshells, dry them in the sun, crush them into pieces, put the crushed eggshells into the flowerpot, then use a small shovel to stir them repeatedly, and after stirring, plant the flowers.

How to use walnut and peanut shells to make flower fertilizer and line the bottom of pots

Flower Bonsai Network introduction: Today, the editor of Flower Bonsai Network shares with you an article on how to use walnut and peanut shells to make flower fertilizer and line the bottom of pots. Let us take a look.

In the deep winter, lying on a heated kang while cracking walnuts and eating peanuts, watching TV and chatting, is one of life's great pleasures. But have you thrown away all the leftover walnut shells and peanut shells? If you threw them away, then you are too wasteful, because walnut shells and peanut shells are superb materials for growing flowers. If you do not believe it, read on!

1. Using walnuts to grow flowers

1Walnut shells lining the bottom of pots

Walnut shells are hard and not easy to decompose. Lining the bottom of a pot with them provides breathability and drainage, and they can be used instead of clay pebbles.

Step 1

First crack the walnuts open, pick out the walnut shells; it does not matter whether the walnut shells are more complete or more broken.

Step 2

Place the walnut shells at the bottom of the pot. If the walnut shells are relatively complete, place the semicircular side facing down, so that water does not accumulate.

Step 3

Add growing soil to the pot and plant the plants.

2Using walnuts as flower fertilizer

If the walnuts at home are expired, eating them is harmful and throwing them away is a pity. At this time, flower lovers might as well use them to make compost. Note that the walnuts here must have no salt and no sugar.

Step 1

Crack the walnuts open and take out the walnut kernels, smash or grind them, and make them as fine as possible.

Step 2

Roast the walnut kernels, and after they cool, layer them with soil like a sandwich, one layer of soil and one layer of walnut kernels, with a relatively thick layer of soil at the very bottom and the very top, and turn it over about once a month. In this way it can be used in about half a year, and it does not smell bad at all.

Step 3

Walnut shells are relatively hard and not easy to rot, so it is generally not recommended to compost them, but if flower lovers want to compost them, they can burn the walnut shells into ash and then mix it directly into the soil for use.

2. Using peanuts to grow flowers

1Using peanut shells as flower fertilizer

If the plant is short and small, and the leaves are yellow and small, the whole thing looks malnourished, then you need to apply some nitrogen fertilizer to the flowers. You do not need to spend money to buy it; Huahua teaches you to make nitrogen fertilizer with peanut shells, so the leaves become green and the flowers bloom beautifully.

Step 1

Crush the peanut shells; you can cut them with scissors, or wrap them in a plastic bag and roughly stomp them apart with your feet.

Step 2

Put the crushed peanut shells into a jar (a glass bottle or small vat is fine), add about 80% water, then sprinkle in a little trichlorfon (other insecticides are also fine), and seal it. (You can add a little orange peel to remove the odor.)

Step 3

Place the jar in the sun to speed up decomposition. When the peanut shells sink to the bottom and the water turns black, it means they are completely fermented and decomposed. (It takes about 3 months or so.)

Step 4

After about 10 days, take out the fertilizer water from the upper layer in the jar, dilute it with clean water, and it can be used directly as flower fertilizer. You can also add water to the jar to continue making compost.

2Using peanut shells as a growing medium

To keep fish, first cultivate the water; to grow orchids, first prepare the growing medium. If orchids are not grown well, 80% of the time the growing medium was not prepared well. The growing medium for orchids must have good aeration and drainage. Let us see how an orchid-growing expert uses peanut shells to make orchid growing medium.

Step 1

Chop the peanut shells into pieces and put them into a container.

Step 2

Fill the container with water and soak the peanut shells for a few days, paying attention to repeatedly changing the water during this period. When the moisture content in the container is about 40%, pour in an appropriate amount of orchid nutrient solution to promote fermentation.

Step 3

Cover tightly with a plastic bag or plastic wrap, open the plastic wrap after about 10 days, turn the peanut shells over, and cover them again. In summer, another half a month is enough; in winter, it takes a little longer.

Step 4

The fermented peanut shells can be used to prepare orchid growing medium. 20%-50% fermented peanut shells plus an appropriate amount of leaf mold soil can make a simple orchid growing medium with ideal results.

Have you all learned how to use peanut shells and walnut shells to grow flowers?

In fact, it is not only these two kinds of shells that can be used to grow flowers,

sunflower seed shells and pistachio shells can also be used to grow flowers,

but only plain ones can be used; salty or sweet ones cannot be used,

and the method is about the same as for peanut shells and walnut shells.
