Every household has this thing. Throw it in a pot and the flowers will grow quickly, and the pot will be full of flowers in one summer!

Glass beads

When I was a kid, I played checkers. There were a lot of glass beads in them. Later, the colors of glass beads were not complete. You can use them to pad the bottom of the basin. It is more useful than any stones. More importantly, it is clean and hygienic.

You don't need too many glass beads to pad the bottom of the pot, just one layer is enough. You can take them out and reuse them when you change the pot for the second time. It can be said to be very convenient.

Lychee Shell

It’s the season for eating lychees. Don’t throw away the lychee shells after eating them. They are perfect for lining the bottom of a bowl.

It is best to rinse the lychee shells to remove the sugar to avoid attracting insects, then dry them in the sun. Putting them in a flower pot is not only breathable and prevents root rot, but can also be used as fertilizer.

Edamame skin

Summer is the season for eating edamame. The skin of edamame is hard. People who have peeled edamame know that it can be used to pad the bottom of the basin.

The edamame skin can be rinsed and dried before use. The boiled edamame skin can be dried and used as a base if it has no taste, but it is best not to use salty ones.

Corn Coating

The thick coating of corn is also a natural breathable material. Don’t throw it away when you eat corn.

Dry the corn husks, tear them into small pieces, and place them at the bottom of the pot. They are breathable and clean, and are also an absolute natural fertilizer.

Grilling charcoal

The charcoal used for barbecue, some scraps do not need to be thrown away, use it to pad the bottom of the basin to sterilize and prevent insects, and it is breathable

You can also put some charcoal chips under the succulent plants to prevent them from black rot and waterlogging in the hot summer. Then you don't have to worry about watering them.

Plastic foam

Don’t throw away the plastic foam used in online shopping packaging as garbage. Use it as a base for your basin

Plastic foam is suitable for padding the bottom of orchid pots, because orchids have thick and fragile roots, and plastic is light, insect-proof and rot-proof, making it a very good material for padding pots.

Broken tiles

The broken tiles left over from renovation can also be used as a base for the basin, and they have an unexpected cooling effect in summer.

Ceramic tiles are generally heat-insulating and heat-resistant. Placing them at the bottom of the pot can help cool the flowers. They are perfect for flowers like roses that "play dead" at high temperatures.

Screen window

In summer, the old screens at home can be cut into pieces to pad the bottom of the pot, which is breathable and prevents root rot. Moreover, it is thin and does not take up space.

The screen net is suitable for small potted plants like succulents. The flower pot itself is relatively small, so a layer of screen net is enough, and you don’t have to worry about waterlogging when watering.

Broken bones

Boil the large bones left over from the fish you usually eat in clean water to remove the salt, then expose them to the sun for a few days. When they are crispy, you can crush them and use them to pad the bottom of the basin!

Bones contain phosphorus and calcium, which can promote the growth of flowers and make your flowers bloom more vigorously!
