Pick up some of it in the park, put it in a pot, and the flowers will grow wildly!

The willow branches are placed at the bottom of the pot, and the roots are thick and strong

Willow trees are very common and can be found in many parks. Willow branches are definitely good material for growing flowers. When flower lovers are taking a walk in the park, if you happen to see gardeners pruning willow branches, be sure to pick some up and take them home to grow flowers. Huahua will teach you how to use them!

What is the use of using willow branches to grow flowers?

First, willow branches placed at the bottom of the pot will not rot within 1-2 years, and can keep the soil loose and breathable for a long time, preventing root rot; secondly, willow bark is rich in salicylic acid, which can promote rooting, reduce pests and diseases, and make the root system grow strong.

1. Cut the willow branches into small pieces

You can choose fresh or withered willow branches, but be careful not to choose those that are already rotten. Cut the willow branches into sections with a length that is just right to fit the bottom of the pot. Measure the diameter of the bottom of the pot before cutting.

2. Soak the willow branches in carbendazim

When the willow branches are cut into sections, put them in a solution of carbendazim for sterilization and disinfection. After soaking for 30 minutes, take them out and put them in a cool and ventilated place to dry.

3. Pad the pelvic floor

First, cover the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot with a gauze to prevent soil leakage, then spread the dried willow branches to the bottom of the pot, fill the gaps between the willow branches with soil, and finally fill the flower pot.

4. The flower roots grow stronger and stronger

Finally, plant the flowers and water them thoroughly once. You no longer need to worry about waterlogging and root rot, and the flowers will grow rapidly! It is suitable for padding the bottom of pots for many flowers, especially those with larger size and well-developed root systems such as the money tree, emerald tree, and lucky tree.

The pine bark is buried in the soil, and the flowers are bursting out of the pot

When you take a stroll in the park and see an old pine tree, be sure to look under the tree to see if there is any fallen pine bark. Pick up as many as you can. If you find any, you’ll be lucky!

What are the benefits of using pine bark to grow flowers?

The gray, dry pine bark that falls from the old pine trees has basically been decomposed and can be used directly to grow flowers. It can improve the water permeability and air permeability of the soil, allowing the flowers to grow quickly and well!

1. Sterilize and disinfect pine bark

Well-rotted pine bark will break into pieces easily. If the dry pine bark you picked up is relatively large, you can break it into small pieces, pour boiling water on it to sterilize it, and then dry it in the sun.

2. Mix pine bark with soil

Mixing pine bark into the soil can enhance soil drainage and air permeability, allowing the roots to breathe freely without causing waterlogging and root rot!

3. Plant flowers

First, put broken bricks and tiles at the bottom of the pot, then pour the bark mixed soil into the pot and plant the flowers. Pine bark is very suitable for growing orchids, Clivia, etc. It can make the roots grow strong and it will be difficult to prevent the flowers from bursting out of the pot!

Throw earthworm manure into the soil, and the flowers will grow like crazy

There is a very common thing under the trees and in the green belts in the park. It is a pure natural green fertilizer for flowers. It is very fertile. It is earthworm castings. Especially when you go for a walk in the park after the rain, be sure to pay attention to pick up some!

What is the use of using earthworm manure to grow flowers?

First of all, earthworm manure is known as the "king of organic fertilizers". Flower lovers who have used earthworm manure to grow flowers know how powerful it is. The flowers grow three times faster, which is even more powerful than if they were injected with chicken blood. Secondly, earthworm manure can make the soil loose and breathable, and all the rotten roots and yellow leaves will disappear!

1. Pick up earthworm castings

When you go for a stroll in the park after the rain, remember to bring a plastic bag. Earthworm castings do not stink, so you don’t have to worry about any odor. Flower lovers who love cleanliness can pick up earthworm castings with plastic gloves.

2. Prepare nutrient soil for planting flowers

Mix earthworm castings into the soil in a ratio of 1:3, and then plant flowers. This will definitely make the flowers grow quickly and bloom big and beautifully!

3. Apply fertilizer to flowers

The fertility of earthworm manure far exceeds that of commercial flower fertilizer. Crush the earthworm manure, spread it evenly on the surface of the pot, and then water it. The flowers will absorb it and grow rapidly, with thick and upright branches and lush green leaves!
