Flowers Rescued from Beside the Trash Can: Grow Them This Way and They'll Fill the Pot Again

People who love growing flowers all have a heart for rescuing discarded plants. For example, when walking past a trash can, they can't help but sneak a glance to see if there are any flowers worth picking up, take them home, give them some care, and they can still grow to fill a pot again. Today, let's share how to bring some nearly dead flowers back to life!

Pothos

It can be said to be a very common variety. Many people, when caring for it, easily end up with yellow leaves, rotted roots and a withered plant, and just throw it away. But in fact, as long as the pothos is not rotting especially badly, with a bit of handling it can still regrow roots and sprout again.

1. Cut off all the yellow leaves of the pothos in one go, leaving only a short section of stem exposed above the potting soil, and pull out the stems that have already rotted.

2. Put the treated pothos in a ventilated spot with indirect light, mist it with a little water every day to increase air humidity, and in about 2 weeks it will start growing tender new leaves

3. After the new leaves emerge, fertilize once about every half a month, and the leaves will grow quickly and soon fill the pot again.

Money Tree

The money tree easily gets yellow leaves and root rot when overwatered. As long as the roots of the money tree have not become very soft and badly rotted, it can also be saved.

1. Take the money tree out of its pot, cut off the rotted roots and rotten areas, and be sure to clean out the rotten parts thoroughly

2. Dilute carbendazim or potassium permanganate with water, soak the treated money tree in it for about half an hour, then let the water dry off, and get ready to repot it

3. Prepare a fresh, loose and airy growing soil; its water permeability must be good

4. Put a layer of expanded clay pellets at the bottom of the pot, then add the growing soil, and plant the treated money tree in it

5. Water once to settle the roots; it is recommended to add a little rooting solution to the water. After watering thoroughly, put the money tree in a cool, ventilated place, and in about 15-30 days it will grow new roots and new leaves again.

Pennywort

Pennywort easily gets yellow, drooping leaves when it lacks water. Many flower lovers throw it away as soon as they see the leaves drooping, but in fact, at this point the pennywort is very easy to save.

1. For slightly drooping leaves, you only need to water thoroughly again and put it in a cool place to recover for 1-2 days, and it will stand upright again.

2. If the yellowing is severe, it is recommended to take the pennywort out of the pot, wash it clean, and pick out the bad roots

3. Cut off the leaves, prepare a new growing container, and to root faster, add soil and clean water to the container to make a semi-soil, semi-water state, then replant the pennywort in it

4. Make sure the soil is fully moist, put it in a spot with indirect light, and in about 2 weeks the pennywort will start growing new leaves again.
