Fellow flower lovers all know that once things at home expire they can't be used, and in the end don't they all just go into the trash? Actually, in Huahua's eyes, many expired things are treasures for growing flowers, and the more expired they are, the better the effect can even be. If you don't believe it, then come take a look with Huahua!

Add a little expired rotten fruit, and big, brightly colored flowers are guaranteed!

Although it is winter now, the grapes Huahua bought a few days ago still all rotted. As for these rotten fruits, vegetables and so on, don't just throw them away casually - using them directly to grow flowers works best!

How do you use expired fruit?

1. Collect all the rotten fruits, vegetables and such from home, put them in a clean plastic bucket, and you can add rice-washing water to the bucket. To prevent it from smelling bad, you can also add some orange peel or EM bacteria.

2. Seal up the plastic bucket filled with rotten fruit and rotten vegetable leaves, and place it in the sun to ferment. After about 3-5 days, open the lid to let it breathe, so the sealed plastic bucket doesn't explode.

3. It takes only about 1-2 months for the rotten fruit and rotten vegetables to fully compost successfully. After that, mix with clear water at a ratio of 1:50 and water the flowers. It can supplement nitrogen fertilizer for the flowers and plants, making big, brightly colored flowers in your home no longer a dream!

Add a little expired cinnamon powder, and the bugs all run away!

Generally, cinnamon powder is used more in baking cakes and bread. So if you have expired cinnamon powder at home, you can take it out to repel bugs!

How do you use expired cinnamon powder?

1. Sprinkle expired cinnamon powder from home on the surface of the flower pot, and it can kill those annoying fungus gnats in the soil as well as their larvae. Because fungus gnats like dark, damp environments, and cinnamon powder just happens to have antibacterial, disinfecting and antimicrobial effects, thus killing all those fungus gnats!

2. As a seasoning, cinnamon powder of course has a somewhat pungent smell, and what ants hate most is the pungent smell of cinnamon powder. So we just need to sprinkle cinnamon powder in a ring around the flower pot, and it can keep ants from climbing onto the flower pot.

3. Besides that, expired cinnamon powder is also a great material for cuttings, because cinnamon powder has a strong effect in killing fungi. So when taking cuttings, if you don't have rooting powder at home, you can mix a little cinnamon powder solution, which can also achieve the purpose of sterilizing and disinfecting, avoiding wound infection, and thereby increasing the cutting survival rate.


Add a little expired beer, and the leaves become big and green!

Beer is really a good thing, only occasionally, by accident, the leftover beer at home expires! So what's there to worry about? Just use it directly to grow flowers!


How do you use expired beer?

1. Beer is brewed from grain and contains a lot of nutrients. Mix the leftover beer with clear water at a ratio of 1:50 into a solution, pour it directly into the flower pot, and use it about once every 7-10 days. Watering flowers with beer is mainly suitable for large-leaf flowers such as pothos and clivia.


2. Mix the leftover beer with clear water at a ratio of 1:10 to dilute it, then find a soft cloth or sponge, dip it in the beer solution and directly wipe the leaves. The stomata on the leaves can absorb the nutrients in the beer, thus growing stronger and stronger!


3. The beer solution left after wiping the leaves can also be put directly into a spray bottle and sprayed onto the leaves, which can also serve the purpose of supplementing nutrients.


Add a little expired milk or yogurt, and the leaves turn shiny green!

Huahua thinks that whether it's milk or yogurt, they are the type of thing most prone to spoiling, basically going bad after just a few days. But the nitrogen element in this milk and yogurt is very high. If you have expired ones at home, don't throw them away - they're great stuff for growing flowers!


How do you use expired milk and yogurt?

1. Whether it's expired milk or expired yogurt, it must be fully fermented before use. If you throw it directly into the flower pot, over time it will attract small bugs.


2. Prepare a clean plastic bottle or plastic bucket, pour the expired yogurt or milk into the bottle, seal it and place it in the sun to ferment. Open the lid about once every 3-5 days to let it breathe, and it takes only about 1 month to ferment the yogurt or milk successfully.


3. After the yogurt or milk has fermented successfully, mix it with clear water at a ratio of 1:50 into a solution, then use it directly to water the flowers. The nitrogen element contained in yogurt and milk is very rich. Use it on the flowers at home, and leaves turning shiny green is a matter of minutes!


Add a little expired small pill, and the flowers grow strong and vigorous!

As flower lovers say, whose home doesn't have a few small pills or such? Whether they are anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving pills or heat-clearing and fire-reducing pills, as long as they are expired, in the end they can't avoid being used to grow flowers!


How do you use expired small pills?

1. If you have expired vitamin C at home, then crush 1 tablet of vitamin C, add 1000ml of water, which is about the amount of 2 standard mineral water bottles, and then use it directly to water the flowers. Vitamin has a weak acidity, and for acid-loving gardenias, jasmines, camellias and so on, it avoids the possibility of yellow leaves.


2. Suppose you have expired vitamin B12 at home, then crush 1 tablet of vitamin B12, mix it at a ratio of 1:2000 into a solution, and soak the branches that need to be cut in the solution for 20 minutes, thus greatly increasing the cutting rooting rate.


3. Aspirin contains a large amount of salicylic acid, which can effectively sterilize and disinfect, and at the same time promote cell division. So when repotting, you can soak the trimmed roots in a 1:1000 aspirin solution for 20 minutes, then let them dry and pot them directly.
