The "garbage" picked up from the roadside can also be used as fertilizer to grow flowers. Add some every time and the flower roots will be stronger!

Is it really necessary to spend a lot of money to buy flower fertilizers to improve these situations? Huahua has a little trick to save money, which is to use "garbage" to grow flowers. These pieces of trash can be found everywhere. If you find some and take them home to use on your flowers and plants, the effect will definitely amaze you.

1. Eggshell

The first kind of “garbage” Huahua wants to talk about is the egg shells that are often seen in our homes. Eggshells contain a lot of calcium and trace elements. Using them to grow flowers can not only strengthen the flower roots but also make the leaves look more shiny.

The specific operation method is that we first need to crush the eggshell. It is best to rinse it with clean water beforehand, so as to remove some dust and bacteria on the eggshell. We can put the crushed eggshells under the flower pot to enhance the air permeability of the soil. You can also place it directly on the surface of the soil in the flowerpot and let it ferment with the soil to provide nutrients.

2. Peanut Shells

It is autumn now, the season for peanut harvest. We can buy a few pounds of peanuts, and after eating them, collect the unwanted peanut shells and use them for flowers. Peanut shells are perfect for loosening the soil because of their hard texture. They can also be fermented and used as fertilizer for growing flowers.

Placing peanut shells under the bottom of the flowerpot can enhance the air permeability of the soil inside the flowerpot, so that even if there is water accumulation inside, it can be alleviated. We can also spread peanut shells and egg shells directly on the surface of the soil to keep warm in winter and provide shade in summer, which is very effective. If you have orchids at home, you can put peanut shells in a bag, add water to ferment them, and finally use them as fertilizer for the orchids, which can also greatly increase the flowering speed.

3. Pine cones

Pine cones are the fruits of pine trees that we often see. Pine trees can be seen everywhere in our lives. Generally in autumn and winter, pine cones will be hanging on the trees. We usually didn’t think much of it, but later we realized that using pine cones to grow flowers can have such a great effect.

Pine cones contain oil and various trace elements. Using them to grow flowers can prevent root rot. We first need to soak the collected pine cones in disinfectant for two hours, and then put them in the sun to dry. The dried pine cones can be used now. Place them under the flowerpot to allow drainage and exhaust, so that the flowers can grow better naturally.
