One cut with the kitchen foil at home, and it instantly becomes a gardening wonder!
Wrap a Clivia in foil to prevent its leaves from tilting!
Clivia is strongly phototropic. If the pot is not rotated for a long time, its leaves will tilt and the plant's shape will become very unattractive.
How to use:
Use scissors to cut the foil at home into strips roughly similar in length and width to the leaves, then fold them in half, wrap them around the side where the leaf is tilting, and secure them with a paper clip. After about 2 weeks, the tilted leaf can be corrected.
Put foil on the balcony to increase light and temperature!
Once winter comes, the light at home is not very good, and many sun-loving flowers will be affected, causing their branches to grow leggy to varying degrees.
How to use:
Foil has the ability to absorb light and heat, acting like a heat-collecting panel to supplement light for the flowers and plants on the balcony. Use cardboard to hold the foil in place, then face it toward the sun so that the foil reflects the sunlight it absorbs, and the light can be supplemented.
Wrap the seedling tray in foil for faster sprouting!
Winter temperatures are low, and some gardening friends do not have air conditioning or heating at home, so the temperature cannot be kept above 15°C continuously. If you grow seedlings, the germination rate will become extremely low.
How to use:
Find a piece of cardboard, stick the foil onto the cardboard, then wrap the seedling tray in the middle of it and place it in a sunny spot on a south-facing balcony. The foil can reflect sunlight and provide more light and heat, thereby promoting seed germination, and it will not affect ventilation.
Put foil on tree branches to drive away birds!
Previously, a gardening friend reported that they planted some blueberries in the yard, did not get a single bite themselves, and in the end the birds ate them all. It was absolutely heartbreaking!
How to use:
Cut the foil into long strips, then hang them on the conspicuous branches of fruiting tree potted plants to drive away birds, because birds do not like shiny things. If you really do not have foil at home, putting out a CD also works.
Lay foil on the pot surface to drive away slugs!
Sometimes slugs and the like are often seen on the flowers at home, but every time there is no good way to drive them away. What should be done?
How to use:
Lay a thin layer of foil directly on the surface of the flower pot. Its reflection will drive away slugs, and it can also maintain soil moisture, prevent excessive water loss, and keep small insects from laying eggs on the surface of the potting soil.
