Using pig feed to grow succulents makes them fatter than a fist

Spring is the fast growing season for succulents. If you want your succulents to grow plump and cute with vivid leaf colors, don't forget to feed them a little fertilizer, especially some natural organic fertilizers like okara and peanut bran. Who would have thought these pig-feed ingredients could also make succulents burst out of their pots? How exactly do you use them? Let me teach you!

Peanut bran

Complete Guide to Flower Growing

Peanut bran is the residue left after pressing oil from peanuts. It is rich in phosphorus and potassium. Giving succulents a little peanut bran fertilizer solution not only boosts disease resistance but also makes the leaves color up more easily!

1. Crush the peanut bran

Break the large chunks of peanut bran into pieces, the smaller the better.

2. Put the peanut bran into a plastic bottle

Put the crushed peanut bran into a bottle, pour in water, but don't fill it too full. Leave 1/4 of the bottle empty, then add a few pieces of orange peel to remove the odor. Close the lid and place it in direct sunlight. Open the lid every 2 days to let it breathe for a while, then screw it back on.

3. Fermentation is complete after 1-2 months

After about 1-2 months, the peanut bran fertilizer water will turn black, which means it has fermented well.

4. Dilute and water the succulents

Take out a small amount of peanut bran fertilizer liquid, add 30 times its volume of clean water to dilute it, then water the succulents. At most, water once every half a month. Do not do it too frequently, otherwise the plants will be burned. Once the succulents drink this fertilizer water, how could they not grow into big plump beauties? The leaf colors will be vivid and eye-catching!

Okara

Complete Guide to Flower Growing

Okara is rich in nitrogen, vitamins and more. Mixing a little okara soil into the succulent pot can make succulents grow plumper and cuter and make it easier to bring out their best condition!

1. Bury the okara in soil

First spread a 5 cm thick layer of soil on the bottom of the pot, then spread a 2 cm thick layer of okara, then spread another 5 cm thick layer of soil. Layer the okara in this way, and finally seal the pot opening with a plastic bag and place it in direct sunlight in a warm spot.

2. After 1 month, the okara soil fermentation is complete

After about 1 month, the okara soil is composted. Fully decomposed okara soil is not only very nutritious but also especially loose and breathable.

3. Mix a little okara soil into the succulent pot

Mix river sand, peat soil and coconut coir in a 10:7:3 ratio, then add 1 small handful of okara soil. Stir evenly, then use it to grow succulents. It is especially suitable for young succulent seedlings, making the leaves grow round and full and quickly burst out of the pot!

Weeds

Complete Guide to Flower Growing

Some flower lovers may say, don't pigs eat feed? In fact, pigs are omnivores and also like to eat grass. Grass contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and iron, and is a natural organic fertilizer. Make it into grass juice fertilizer and give succulents a little, and they will grow vigorously and burst out of the pot!

1. Cut weeds

Flower lovers can go outdoors and cut some fresh green weeds. Just the green stems and leaves are enough.

2. Mash the leaves

Use a knife to chop the weeds, the finer the better.

3. Put the chopped leaves into a plastic bottle

Put the chopped leaves into a plastic bottle, pour in 5 times their volume of clean water, close the lid and place it in direct sunlight. After 1 month, the grass juice fertilizer will be fermented.

4. Dilute and water the succulents

Pour out some grass juice fertilizer, then add 10 times its volume of clean water to dilute it. Water the succulents once a month, and be careful not to pour it on the leaves. Once the succulents drink it, they will grow rapidly and their leaves will be round and plump. Anyone who sees them will be envious!
