Pick up some small things on the roadside, grow flowers without root rot, and make them bloom quickly!

Grow flowers in sand and there will be no root rot!

Sometimes when you pass by a construction site, you will see a lot of piles of sand, which is a good material for mixing soil.

Directions:

1. Put the sand into clean water, stir and clean it, and then use a sieve to filter out the particularly large particles.

2. Soak the sand in potassium permanganate water. After about 20 minutes, pour out the water and spread the sand out on the balcony to dry.

3. After drying, add sand to the soil to increase the drainage of the flowerpot. For flowers that are particularly intolerant of waterlogging, such as aloe vera and tiger skin plant, about 40% river sand can be added.

4. In addition to being mixed into the soil, river sand is also a good medium for cuttings. After watering the river sand thoroughly, insert the branches to be cut and keep them moist. Generally, they will take root in about 20 days.

Using sawdust to grow flowers will make the roots fat and strong!

After the renovation, sometimes there is a lot of sawdust left, which is directly thrown next to the trash can. In fact, seemingly useless sawdust can be used to grow flowers!

Directions:

1. If you just want to mix a little with the soil, you can use it directly, but the amount should not exceed 20% of the soil. The fermentation process of sawdust is relatively slow, and using a small amount will not cause root burn problems.

2. If you have a lot of sawdust on hand and want to use it in large quantities, you must ferment it first before using it. Put the sawdust into a bottle, add clean water, cover it and dry it in the sun for about 50 to 60 days, then mix it into the soil for use.

3. The drainage of soil containing sawdust is greatly improved, so it is not easy to cause water accumulation in the pot, and the flowers will not have root rot!

Use earthworm manure to grow flowers, no need to repot for a year!

Sometimes you can see small lumps of mud that look like walnuts under trees on the mountain or in green belts. These are earthworm feces, and they are very fertile!

Directions:

1. Go outside and collect some earthworm castings. The castings produced in different soils have different colors, some are earthy yellow, some are dark brown, and some are black.

2. When changing the soil for the flowers, put earthworm manure into the pot as base fertilizer. Earthworm manure is easy to absorb and its fertility is no less than that of chicken manure, so you don’t need to apply fertilizer for the next 1 to 2 years!

3. If the amount of earthworm castings is small, you can directly crush it and sprinkle it on the surface of the flower pot. In this way, when watering, the earthworm castings will seep into the soil along with the water flow!

Using pine bark to grow flowers is breathable and does not accumulate water!

Some aging pine bark will fall off naturally. Pick some up from under the pine tree and take it home to grow flowers. It’s super great!

Directions:

1. Find an unused pot, put the pine bark in it and boil it with water. This will kill the fungi and insect eggs in the pine bark.

2. After taking out the pine bark and drying it, spread some on the surface of the flowerpot, or put a small amount at the bottom of the flowerpot.

3. Flowers grown with pine bark have healthy roots that will not rot. Moreover, the pine bark slowly ferments and provides mild fertilizer to the flowers.

Growing flowers with pine needles will make the soil fertile!

There is always a thick layer of pine needles under the pine trees. If you pick some up and take them home, you can even save money on buying nutrient soil!

Directions:

1. Dig some pine needles under the pine tree. Those that feel dry and easy to crush are most suitable for growing flowers.

2. It is best to disinfect the pine needles when you take them home. Boil them in boiling water and let them dry before use. This can prevent woodlice or other insect eggs and bacteria from being present in the pine needles.

3. The processed pine needles can be buried in the soil or sprinkled on the surface of the pot. It is most suitable for flowers such as Clivia and Christmas cactus that like fertilizer and are afraid of waterlogging!

Growing flowers with willow branches, the big white roots grow rapidly!

When I watched Journey to the West before, there were a few willow branches inserted in the jade bottle of Guanyin Bodhisattva, which had the energy to nourish all things. In fact, this has a basis in reality. There are a lot of growth hormones in willow branches, which promote the growth of plants!

Directions:

1. The willow leaves have not yet fully expanded, and the auxin content in the willow branches is the highest at this time.

2. Cut the willow branches into small pieces of 10 cm, soak them in clean water for 1 to 2 days, then remove the willow branches and leave the water for soaking the willow branches.

3. Soak the branches to be cut into willow water. After 4 to 5 hours, take them out and cut them normally. The rooting rate of soaked branches is greatly improved!

That’s all for today’s little flower-growing knowledge.

Ever since I fell in love with growing flowers,

It seems that everything around me is related to flowers.

Do flower lovers feel the same?
