Pick it up from the trash can and put it in a pot. It will no longer attract insects and will sprout flower buds!

Spread a layer of mosquito coil ash on the surface of the basin to kill all the insect eggs!

What's the most annoying thing about summer? Of course, it’s the trick bugs at home! But sometimes, after spraying the pesticide, the insects appear again within a few days! This means there are insect eggs in the soil!

1. Collect the mosquito coil ash after burning mosquito coils at home and set it aside for later use.

2. If the flowers at home are attracted by small insects, sprinkle a thin layer of mosquito coil ash on the surface of the pot. Remember not to sprinkle too much, because mosquito coil ash is alkaline, and most flowers like acid. If you use too much, it will easily burn the roots.

3. Mosquito-coil ash contains slightly toxic substances. Spread a thin layer on the surface of the pot and let the mosquito-coil ash penetrate into the soil along with water. It can kill insect eggs in the soil. The mosquito-coil ash also contains potassium, which can supplement nutrients and make the flowers grow stronger!

Spread a layer of egg shells on the surface of the pot, and the flowers will grow stronger and stronger!

Don’t throw away the leftover egg shells at home, as they can be a great way to pave the surface of a basin. Come and learn how to use them!

1. Collect all the remaining egg shells at home, clean them, and expose them to the sun to dry. If you have a microwave at home, you can also dry it directly in the microwave.

2. Crush the dried eggshells with a wooden stick or other tools, or crush them directly with your hands. It is best to crush the eggshells into powder and then put them in a box for later use.

3. Each time you use it, just spread a thin layer on the surface of the pot. When you water it, the eggshells will penetrate into the potting soil along with the water, replenishing phosphorus and calcium elements for the plants, making the flowers at home grow more and more prosperous!

Spread a layer of moss on the surface of the basin to moisturize and cool down!

When summer comes, flower lovers who grow orchids at home become worried. The temperature is so high. Apart from using a small fan to cool them down every day, is there any other good way? Of course, cover the surface of the pot with moss!

1. After the rain in summer, you can take a small shovel to the shady places in the community or the wild to dig moss!

2. The fresh moss you dig home must be chopped up before use. Spread the chopped moss evenly on the surface of the pot, then press it lightly with your fingers to allow the moss and planting material to combine tightly.

3. If you want the moss on the surface to survive as soon as possible, you must ensure moisture. Use a watering can to spray water on the surface of the pot. Spray water when you see the surface is dry. When you see green color appear on the surface of the pot, it basically survives.

4. Spreading the grown moss on the surface of the pot not only retains water and prevents excessive evaporation of water, but also lowers the temperature and prevents the flowers at home from being suffocated by the high temperature in summer. It is simply killing two birds with one stone!

Spread a layer of chlorite on the surface of the pot to prevent insects and protect the roots!

If you flower lovers live in the city and have no place to get moss, you might as well put a layer of chlorite on the surface of the pot!

1. Generally, chlorite is bought from outside. The green zeolite you bought can be spread directly on the surface of the basin, or you can expose it to the sun for 1-2 days and disinfect it slightly before use.

2. Spread a thin layer of chlorite on the surface of the potting soil. You don’t need to spread too much. Spreading chlorite on the surface of the pot can not only prevent water evaporation caused by high temperatures in summer, but also prevent insects from laying eggs on the surface of the pot.

Cover the surface of the pot with grass to moisturize and cool down!

If you are a flower lover who has difficulty growing moss at home, you can also choose to lay a layer of surface grass on the surface of the pot. Many flower lovers will ask, what are the types of paving grasses?

1. Green Cloud Grass: The first thing Huahua mentioned is naturally the Green Cloud Grass that is often used by orchid lovers! When the green cloud grass is spread on the surface of the pot, it can firmly grasp the small particles of planting material to prevent the water from being washed away. It can also ensure humidity and you can even judge whether the flowers should be watered based on its color.

2. Oxalis: In addition to Oxalis, Oxalis is also suitable for paving the surface of pots. Its effect is similar to that of Oxalis, and both can achieve the purpose of moisturizing and cooling.

3. Golden Senna: Among succulent plants, the most commonly used surface grasses are Golden Senna and Thin Snow Senna. These two types are often used as embellishments when making succulent platters. They also reproduce very quickly and are very beautiful after they bloom out of the pot!

The surface of the basin is covered with expanded clay, which is both water-permeable and breathable!

When it comes to the most commonly used thing for paving, Huahua thinks it must be expanded clay! Expanded clay is both water-permeable and breathable, and its price is cheap, making it a must-have for all flower lovers!

1. If you have larger potted plants such as roses or bougainvillea at home, you can just spread the expanded clay you bought directly on the surface of the pot.

2. If you have succulents at home, use expanded clay specially made for succulents. The particles of this kind of expanded clay are slightly smaller and more suitable for succulents.

Spread a layer of sand on the surface of the basin to kill all the black flies!

Finally, Huahua will teach you a good way to kill small black flies, which is to use sand that can be found everywhere to cover the surface of the basin!

1. When you bring the sand home from outside, it is best to filter it with clean water first and filter out the particularly large sand.

2. Flower lovers who want to sterilize and disinfect can soak the filtered sand in carbendazim or potassium permanganate solution to kill the bacteria in the sand, and then put the sand in the sun to dry.

3. After drying, spread a thin layer of sand on the surface of the flower pot. Spreading sand on the surface of the pot is not only permeable to water and air, but also can prevent small black flies from laying eggs on the surface of the potting soil. More importantly, it looks very good when used to grow succulents!
