Using expired milk powder (soy milk powder) to grow flowers, the leaves will be so green that they seem to be dripping with oil!

When you open a can of milk powder at home, sometimes it expires before you can drink much of it, or it gets damp due to poor storage. It feels a pity to throw it away, after all, milk powder is so expensive, so you might as well use it for the flowers at home!

How to grow flowers with expired milk powder?

1. Find a clean plastic bottle and put the expired milk powder into it. Determine the amount of milk powder according to the size of the plastic bottle.

2. If you want the milk powder to ferment faster, you can also add some rice water into the bottle, use chopsticks or a small wooden stick to mix the milk powder and rice water together, then seal it and let it ferment in the sun.

3. Open the lid to let in air every 2-4 days. It only takes about 15-20 days for the expired milk powder to be completely fermented into nitrogen-rich fertilizer water.

4. The fermented milk powder water can be mixed evenly with clean water in a ratio of 1:20, and can be used directly to water the flowers. The green ivy and spider plants at home absorb the nitrogen in the milk powder, and their leaves will become greener and greener, and even produce oil!

Special reminder: Expired soy milk, protein powder, and soy milk powder can all be used as flower fertilizer!

Using moldy beans to grow flowers, the roots are so strong that they can burst the pots!

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, when mom was doing the general cleaning, she unexpectedly found a bag of moldy soybeans. Seeing that mom was about to throw it away, Huahua decided to keep the soybeans to use for growing flowers.

How to grow flowers with expired red wine?

1. Collect all the moldy beans, put them in a large pot and boil them with water until the soybeans are fully cooked.

2. Find a clean plastic bottle or plastic bucket, put the cooked soybeans in it, then add clean water (the amount of water should cover the soybeans), then seal the plastic bucket and ferment it. Open the lid for air every 3-5 days. If you find it troublesome, you can also poke a few holes directly in the plastic bucket.

3. It will take about a month for the soybean fertilizer to be fermented. Take soybean fertilizer water and mix it with clean water in a ratio of 1:50 to make a solution, and use it directly to water the flowers. Soybeans are rich in nitrogen. The flowers at home absorb the nitrogen from soybeans, and their roots will grow stronger and stronger!

4. If you think the fermented fertilizer is too smelly, you can also dig a hole along the edge of the flowerpot and bury the cooked soybeans directly in it, about 1-3 soybeans each time.

5. Cooked soybeans will slowly release fertilizer effects in the soil, thereby replenishing sufficient nitrogen elements. The spider plants, green ivy, snake plants, etc. in your home will absorb the nitrogen from soybeans and grow more and more vigorously, their root systems will become stronger, and their leaves will become bigger and greener!

Special reminder: Moldy mung beans, red beans, etc. can also be used to grow flowers in this way!

If you use expired yogurt or milk to grow flowers, the leaves will look like they are waxed!

Whether it is yogurt or milk, the shelf life is very short. Sometimes Huahua buys too much at the supermarket and it expires within a few days. People cannot drink expired milk and yogurt, but they can be given to flowers to drink.

How to grow flowers with expired yogurt or milk?

1. Whether you use expired yogurt to grow flowers or expired milk to water flowers, it must be fully fermented before use. If you throw it directly into the flowerpot, it will easily attract small insects.

2. Prepare a clean plastic bottle or bucket, pour the expired milk or yogurt into it, then add some rice washing water, shake it slightly, seal it and place it on the windowsill in direct sunlight. If you are afraid of the bad smell, you can also add some chopped orange peel.

3. After about 3-5 days, unscrew the bottle cap to release the air. It will be fermented in about a month. After the fertilizer is successfully fermented, take the yogurt fertilizer liquid and clean water, mix them into a solution in the ratio of 1:100, and directly irrigate the roots or spray the leaves.

4. Whether it is expired yogurt or expired milk, the nitrogen content in it is super rich. The flowers at home absorbed the nitrogen in it, and their leaves became as lush and oily as if they were waxed!

Using expired cooking oil to grow flowers will make the flowers grow bigger and more numerous!

If you don’t finish the cooking oil at home after opening it, it may go bad. You would be heartbroken if you throw it away directly. It would be better to feed some to the flowers so that they can grow stronger and bloom more!

How to grow flowers with expired cooking oil?

1. Expired cooking oil is best used for Clivia or orchids, which are oil-loving crops. Other flowers should not use it for the time being.

2. Dig 3-5 small holes along the edge of the Clivia flowerpot, then use a small spoon to scoop cooking oil directly into the small holes, about 2/3 of the way, and finally cover it with soil. Be careful not to let the cooking oil come into direct contact with the roots, otherwise the roots may be burned.

3. It takes a long time for cooking oil to decompose, so it is enough to use it once every six months. The cooking oil buried in the flowerpot will continuously provide nutrients to the Clivia, so that the Clivia will grow more and more vigorously and the flowers will be larger and more numerous!

Growing flowers with rotten fruits, the flower buds are popping up!

2. In order to speed up the fermentation of fertilizer, you can also add some yeast and brown sugar in the bucket, stir it thoroughly with a wooden stick, find a plastic bag or something to seal the bucket, and then place it in the sun to ferment.

3. Open the plastic bag every now and then to let some air in. During the fermentation process, you will see a lot of hyphae appearing on the surface of the compost barrel, and small bubbles will continue to appear. It will only take about 1-2 months for the compost to be completely decomposed.

4. Mix the fermented peel water and clean water in a ratio of 1:100 to make a solution, and then use it directly to water the flowers. Fruit peel water contains a lot of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. After using it on the flowers at home, the leaves will be greener and more flower buds will appear!

Use expired beer to grow flowers, and the leaves will be bright green!

Beer at home is the item that is most likely to expire. After all, if you are on a business trip for a few months, it may be expired when you return. Dear flower lovers, don’t even think about drinking it. It’s better to use it to water the flowers at home!

How to grow flowers with expired beer?

2. Mix beer and water in a ratio of 1:20 to make a solution. Then find a sponge or soft cloth, dip it in the beer solution, and gently wipe the leaves. The stomata on the leaves can absorb nutrients from the beer, making them greener and greener!

3. If some flower lovers think it is too troublesome to wipe the leaves directly, they can also put the remaining beer solution in a spray bottle and spray it directly on the leaves when the weather is good at noon. This can also achieve the purpose of supplementing nutrients.

Special reminder: It’s best not to use expired red wine to water the flowers!

Use expired pills to grow flowers, and the roots will be strong and the leaves will be green and they will grow vigorously!

Everyone has headaches and fevers sometimes, so there must be a lot of pills stored at home, which will expire over time. What's the use of these expired pills? Just use it to water the flowers!

How to grow flowers with expired pills?

1. The Kalanchoe, succulents, and Clivia in your home are particularly prone to black rot in winter. After the black rot occurs, use a knife to cut off the entire black rot part, and then apply some metronidazole powder on the wound, which can play a role in sterilization and disinfection, and the effect is very good! Ornidazole and tinidazole can also achieve the same effect!

2. Many flowers that like acid will have yellow leaves to varying degrees once they are moved to the north where the soil is alkaline. At this time, crush a vitamin C tablet, then mix it with clean water in a ratio of 1:3000 to make a solution, and use it directly to water the flowers. Use it about once every 10 days. Vitamin C is weakly alkaline and can improve the phenomenon of yellowing leaves.

3. What should I do if the cuttings never take root? Simply crush an aspirin tablet and mix it with warm water in a ratio of about 1:1000. Then soak the cuttings in the aspirin solution for half an hour. This will not only promote rooting, but also kill bacteria and prevent the cuttings from rotting.
