This thing is not worth a penny. Put it in the flowerpot in the summer, and the leaves will grow big and green and fill the pot!

Old newspapers can enrich the soil

Old newspapers can enrich the soil. Yes, you read that right. After watering the flowerpot thoroughly, spread old newspaper on the soil and water it again. Before long, the soil will become very fertile!

Soil that has been exposed to the outside for a long time has very low biological activity. After being covered with newspapers, as the newspapers themselves degrade, the humus in the soil layer increases and its fertility will be improved. You can also use black plastic film, cardboard or straw instead of newspaper, with similar effects.

Notice

Spray water on the mulch regularly to keep it moist, which will help improve the soil structure. If conditions permit, flower lovers can sprinkle some sawdust or fallen leaves on the newspaper. The effect will be much better and there will be almost no weeds.

Old newspapers can be used to repel mosquitoes

Flower lovers may be wondering how newspapers can repel mosquitoes! In fact, some newspapers have natural citronella infused into their ink, which repels mosquitoes!

Some newspapers do not contain citronella essence. Does that mean they cannot repel mosquitoes? Of course not. Ordinary newspapers soaked in sesame oil can also repel mosquitoes, and the effect is great!

Method: Tear up newspapers and waste paper, scatter them in flower pots, and then spray them with floral water or essential oils. The scraps of paper will become a good broad-spectrum insect repellent, and mosquitoes will avoid them!

Old newspapers can protect against the sun and moisturize

If you put the flower pots outside in the summer, you are afraid that the flowers will wilt and get sunburned. If you move them back, you feel that there is not enough sunlight and the flowers will not grow well. It is too troublesome to put up a shade net. Huahua suggests that you should cover the flower pots with a layer of newspaper, which can both protect against the sun and moisturize!

Method: Place a layer of newspaper on the soil around the plant to prevent the sun from directly shining on the soil. This will prevent the soil temperature from being too high and affecting the root system.

After laying out the newspaper, water it thoroughly and spray water on it regularly. The water will seep into the soil layer little by little through the newspaper. It will not damage the roots and there is no need to worry about the soil becoming compacted.
