Even after being away for a month, the flowers at home are still growing everywhere, all thanks to this old shoelace!

Cotton thread and shoelace watering device

The cotton thread left over from cross-stitching or broken shoelaces can be used as the "core" of a flower watering device. With it, you don't have to worry about watering anymore.

Note: The water level in the water bottle should be higher than the flower pot, so that the water can "flow" from top to bottom into the flower pot. As shown in the picture below, the water level is not as high as the flower pot, and it is difficult to guide the water up.

Rag cloth seedling incubator

When you need to sow and germinate, you can put gauze, old masks, or cotton pads under the seeds to keep them clean and prevent them from getting mixed into the soil or rotting in water; cover the seeds to keep them moist and warm and accelerate germination.

These breathable scraps can also be placed at the bottom of the flower pot to prevent root rot. On the other hand, they can prevent soil erosion during watering, which can cause malnutrition in the flowers in the pot.

Plastic bottle holder

When sowing, the small buds are relatively weak and easy to fall over and get tangled together. You can cut some plastic bottles and insert the upper part into the soil to cover the small buds. This not only has a fixed effect, but also can keep warm and moist, so that the buds grow stronger.

Old succulent plants tend to "crook their heads" and break easily if you're not careful. Use a plastic bottle to make a protective cover to correct the posture immediately.

Brown sugar, milk, cola compost

Making your own fertilizer is environmentally friendly and saves money. Some fertilizers are better than those purchased, but the biggest drawback is that they stink! You might as well add some brown sugar and milk, which can not only speed up the decomposition but also reduce the odor.

Coke can also be added to the fertilizer. It is best to add some fresh sparkling Coke after all the materials are put into the container. In this way, the fertilizer that takes a month to mature will be ready in ten days!

Boiled egg shells for calcium supplementation

Many flower lovers know that eggshells can be used as flower fertilizers, but raw eggshells are difficult to decompose. We can boil the eggshells and put the boiled eggshells into the flower soil, which will make it easier to decompose into nutrients.

The water from boiled eggshells can be directly used to water flowers after it cools down. It contains calcium carbonate, which can not only add nutrients to the flowers, but also neutralize the acidic soil, increase the alkalinity of the soil, and make flowers such as hydrangeas turn red.

Soda Sweetener

Many flower lovers grow cherry tomatoes at home. If you want to make the cherry tomatoes taste sweeter, just sprinkle a spoonful of baking soda in the flowerpot. Baking soda can also reduce the acidity of the soil and make your tomatoes sweet.

Vegetable head potted

Don’t throw away the vegetable heads you just cut in the kitchen. Just put them in a cup and add some water and they will continue to sprout leaves. Lettuce grows the fastest and you can cook noodles with it in a few days.

Cotton swab insecticide

There are many insects in summer, and it is difficult to completely eliminate insects on many flowers. In fact, it is not that troublesome. Prepare a few cotton swabs and household alcohol. Use cotton swabs dipped in alcohol to wipe the leaves with insects. The insects will die immediately. It can also sterilize and disinfect to prevent recurrence.

Many flower lovers say that spraying directly is enough, why bother using cotton swabs? In fact, handheld cotton swabs can not only kill insects accurately, but also crush insect eggs to prevent insect regeneration. It is more worry-free to do it in one go.
