Using pig feed to grow succulents actually made 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, gardeners, do not forget to feed them a little something, especially some natural organic fertilizers such as okara and peanut bran. Unexpectedly, these things used to feed pigs can also make succulents burst out of their pots. How exactly do you use them? Huahua will teach you!

Peanut bran

The Complete Guide to Flower Growing

Peanut bran is the residue left after peanuts are pressed for oil, and it is rich in phosphorus and potassium. Giving succulents a little peanut bran fertilizer liquid not only improves disease resistance, but also makes the leaves color up more easily!

1. Crush the peanut bran

Crush the large pieces of peanut bran, 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 do not fill it too full. Leave 1/4 of the bottle as space, then add a few pieces of orange peel to remove the odor, put the lid on, and place it in direct sunlight. Open the lid every 2 days to let it breathe for a while, then screw it tight again.

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 it 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, and then water the succulents. Water at most once every half a month, and do not do it too frequently, otherwise they will be burned. Once the succulents drink the fertilizer water, how could they not grow into little fatties? The leaf colors will be vivid and pleasing to the eye!

Okara

The Complete Guide to Flower Growing

Okara is rich in nitrogen, vitamins and more. Mixing a little okara soil into the succulent pot can make the 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 place.

2. After 1 month, the okara soil is fully fermented

After about 1 month, the okara soil is done composting. 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 mix in 1 small handful of okara soil. Stir evenly and then use it to grow succulents. It is especially suitable for succulents that are still seedlings, making the leaves grow round and full and quickly burst out of the pot!

Weeds

The Complete Guide to Flower Growing

Some gardeners may say, do pigs not 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 the succulents a little to drink, and they will grow vigorously and burst out of the pot!

1. Cut weeds

Gardeners can go out to the wild and cut some fresh green weeds. Only the green stems and leaves are needed.

2. Crush 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, put the lid on, and place it in direct sunlight. After 1 month, the grass juice fertilizer will be fermented.

4. Dilute it and water the succulents

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