Sprinkle some flour crumbs in the pot, the flowers will grow rapidly and bloom every year!

Add some cornmeal to the pot of Clivia to make the leaves green, the roots strong and the flowers bloom vigorously

Cornmeal is rich in nutrients such as lecithin, cereal alcohol, vitamins, cellulose, etc., which can supplement nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers for the growth of flowers and plants and promote flowering.

Tips

A flower lover buries a little cornmeal at the bottom of the pot every time he changes the soil, just a small spoonful is enough. Her Clivia grows very vigorously, with thick leaves and beautiful flowers. Sprinkle a light layer of cornmeal on the surface of the pot to prevent insects and kill ants.

Add some Chinese medicinal residue to the pot of Christmas cactus, so it won't attract insects and blooms quickly

Most Chinese medicines are made from the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and skins of plants, as well as the limbs, organs, and shells of animals. Therefore, they are rich in organic and inorganic substances and can be said to be excellent nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium compound fertilizers!

Tips

The residue left over from boiled medicine can be put on the balcony to dry in the sun and then used directly. Sprinkle a little on the edge of the Christmas cactus flowerpot and the flower buds will emerge soon without attracting insects. When repotting, bury the residue at the bottom of the pot as base fertilizer to drain and ventilate the pot, and the roots will basically not rot.

It is best to compost the uncooked Chinese medicine residue first, mix it with garden soil, put it in a barrel, seal it, add some water and dry it in the sun, open the lid every day to let out the air, and it can be used after 3 months!

Mix coal slag in the succulent pot to prevent root rot and black rot

Mixing coal slag with soil can improve the air permeability and drainage of the soil and reduce the chance of root rot; coal slag also contains many minerals and trace elements that can make the plants grow luxuriantly.

Tips

Place large particles of coal slag at the bottom of the pot, which have excellent air permeability and will help the roots grow long, thick and dense. Small particles of slag can be directly mixed into the soil, which is especially good for plants with sensitive root systems such as succulents and Clivia, and their roots will not rot no matter how long they are grown.

Mix pine cones in the longevity flower pot to make the flowers bloom more without black rot

Pine cones are generally loose and can be used as a base for pots to prevent root rot. They can be used to mix with soil and have very good air permeability. Pine cones contain rosin and pine oil, which have a good bactericidal effect!

Tips

Pick pine cones with looser scales. Do not ferment them. You can directly put them in the bottom of the pot or crush them and mix them with the soil. The Kalanchoe and Clivia grown with them will have thick, green leaves, strong roots, and bloom every year. The scales of pine cones grown in the same year are relatively dense, so they can be left for a while before they can be used.

Rose cuttings mixed with river sand, rooting quickly without root rot

River sand itself has no nutrients, but has good air permeability and drainage, and can be used instead of vermiculite. It can be used for most flowers to prevent root rot and black rot!

Tips

Coarse-grained river sand can be mixed into the soil to grow large flowers such as the money tree and the rubber tree, which provide good ventilation and help them grow quickly. Finer river sand can be used directly to propagate roses, gardenias, etc., which can greatly increase the survival rate.

Mix sawdust in the camellia pot to make it grow strong and not rot.

The wood chips left over from renovations can be used to grow camellia. They are loose and breathable, heat-insulating and moisturizing, and can also supplement trace elements to promote luxuriant growth. For flowers and trees purchased online, adding some sawdust when transplanting can help them adapt to the pot quickly!

Tips

Mix fresh sawdust with garden soil, put it in a bag, wet it, and ferment it in the sun for 1 to 2 months. After it is decomposed, dry it and mix it into the soil. Huahua has used it to grow camellia, asparagus fern and green ivy, and they grew very strong, which did not disappoint me at all.

Add eggshells to jasmine pots to increase the number of flowers and make them fragrant

The main component of eggshells is calcium carbonate, which can increase the calcium content of the soil and regulate the pH value of the soil.

Tips

After washing the eggshells, place them in the sun for 1 to 2 days, then break them into pieces and mix them with the soil. Acid-loving flowers such as roses, jasmine, gardenia, and camellia particularly like eggshell fertilizer, and they bloom in large quantities and have a strong fragrance.

Add coffee grounds to the pot of spider plants to keep the leaves firm and not burnt

Flower lovers who love drinking coffee must not waste coffee grounds, which are high-quality organic nitrogen fertilizers. They are beneficial for plants in the seedling and growth stages, and can also make the soil loose and breathable.

Tips

Coffee grounds cannot be used directly, otherwise they will burn the roots. First dry the coffee grounds, then put them together with compost materials (fallen leaves, etc.), garden soil, etc., add water to wet them and place them in the sun. They will be decomposed in 1 to 2 months.

The decomposed coffee grounds can be mixed into the soil, but don't use too much at one time. Nitrogen- and acid-loving plants such as Milan, spider plant, lucky bamboo, etc., can be grown with coffee grounds. The leaves are in particularly good condition, staying green all year round without turning yellow or drying out.

Mix bean dregs in the pot of green radish, and it will cover the wall in half a year

The dregs left over from grinding soy milk are rich in nutrients such as protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, and iron. After being decomposed, they become high-quality compound fertilizer, which is better to use than many fertilizers!

Tips

1. Direct use

Dry the bean dregs, then bury them in a larger and deeper flowerpot, away from the root system. This way, the fertility of the bean dregs will be released slowly without damaging the root system. The green ivy and spider plants will bloom out of the pot in one month and will cover the wall in half a year.

2. Use after fermentation

Put the bean dregs in a sealed can, add 10 times the amount of clean water, and ferment it in the sun. Open the lid to release the air every day. It will be decomposed in a month. After it is decomposed, dilute it with water and water the roots. It can make the leaves green and the roots strong!

Add rice husks to orchid pots, and they will bloom every year

Rice husk is rich in potassium carbonate, as well as trace elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. It is a high-quality compound fertilizer that can accelerate leaf growth and promote flowering.

Tips

First, spread the rice husks in the sun for 1 to 2 days to sterilize and disinfect them; then mix them with compost materials and ferment them. Adding some EM bacteria can speed up the decomposition process and prevent insects.

Add some rice husk soil to the pots of orchids and succulents to make them loose and breathable, so that they bloom every year and won’t rot in the summer.
