Add some soybeans to the green radish and the leaves will be lush and green!

If the new leaves of your green radish have become lighter in color and a little yellow recently, but the old leaves are normal, it is very likely that it is lacking fertilizer. You can bury some soybeans to supplement it with nutrients.

Directions:

1. Soak the soybeans in clean water for 2 to 3 hours, then cook them. Cook for about half an hour, poke it with chopsticks, if it is soft, you can turn off the heat.

2. Take out the soybeans and let them cool, then dig a few holes 3 to 4 centimeters deep next to the flowerpot and bury the cooked soybeans in them. Generally, it is enough to bury about 10 to 15 seeds in a pot. When burying them, be sure to keep them away from the roots.

3. Cooked soybeans contain nitrogen, which can provide a large amount of nutrients to the green radish during the growth period, making the green radish grow faster and the leaves greener and bigger!

Add some bone meal to succulents and they will be plump and meaty!

Many flower lovers have recently asked Huahua whether succulents need to be fertilized and what kind of fertilizer to use? In fact, succulents do not require much fertilizer, but you can also apply some base fertilizer or slow-release fertilizer to make the succulents grow stronger!

Directions:

1. Collect the chicken bones, duck bones, pork bones, etc. left over from meals.

2. Put the bones into the pot and boil them with clean water to cook off the salt and oil on the bones. It is best to cook it in a pressure cooker for about 10 minutes.

3. After the bones are cooked, place them in the sun for 3 to 5 days, then smash them with a small hammer and use a garlic mortar to crush the bone residue into powder. The finer the powder, the easier it is for the flowers to absorb.

4. When repotting succulents, you can sprinkle a thin layer of bone meal in the pot as base fertilizer. The succulents will grow stronger, and you basically don’t need to fertilize within half a year after using it.

There is a kind of asparagus fern called other people’s asparagus fern. Other people’s asparagus fern is lush and green, like a green umbrella. Why does the asparagus fern you raise always turn yellow and doesn’t grow for half a year? You can try using eggshells to fertilize asparagus fern!

Directions:
