Who still spends money on growing flowers these days? 1 pair of scissors is enough!

1No need to buy flower pots anymore

1. Use milk cartons to make small flower pots:

(1) Prepare the leftover milk cartons.

(2) Draw the shape you want to cut out on the milk carton, and then use scissors to cut along the drawn lines. Wash the milk stains inside and let it dry.

(3) Drill a hole in the bottom of the box and use it as a small flower pot or seedling box. If you think it's not beautiful enough, you can stick cloth or paint on the milk carton.

(4) After adding soil, the beautiful and cute seedling box is ready. This type of flowerpot is relatively small and is not suitable for growing large flowers and plants. It is recommended for sowing and cuttings.

In this way, when the flowers and plants grow up, you can directly cut off the milk carton and put the seedlings and soil together into a large flowerpot. This can increase the success rate of potting and reduce the time it takes to acclimate.

2. Cut out a flower pot from a laundry detergent bottle:

(1) Prepare the empty laundry detergent bottle, wash it and dry it.

(2) Use a pen to draw the shape you want to cut out on the outside of the bottle according to your personal preference.

(3) Use scissors to cut off the excess and you will have a beautiful flower pot.

(4) If you want the flower pot to be more beautiful, you can paint on the surface of the flower pot.

(5) You can also use tools such as a soldering iron to perform hollow carving, but be careful.

3. Use yogurt boxes to make small flower pots:

(1) Wash the yogurt box and remove the outer packaging.

(2) Drill a small hole at the bottom of the yogurt box to serve as a drainage hole.

(3) After filling it with soil, it can be used as a small flower pot or seedling box. However, for the sake of beauty, flower lovers can apply paint or stick rope on the outside of the yogurt box.

4. Use beverage bottles as flower pots

(1) Prepare a large Coke bottle.

(2) Use scissors to cut in the middle. You can first use a marker to draw the shape you want to cut, and then cut according to the pen marks. This will make it look much more beautiful.

(3) Paint or draw a pattern on the lower half of the Coke bottle, and drill a small hole in the bottom for water to flow through. It will then become a beautiful flower pot.

(4) Do not throw away the upper part of the Coke bottle; find a used CD.

(5) Stick the upper part of the Coke bottle onto the CD. Once it is fixed, you can spray paint or apply coating on the surface to make a nice wine glass-shaped flower pot.

2 No need to buy flowers anymore

1. Soil insertion

(1) From a healthy money tree, select a branch about 10 cm long and cut it with scissors.

(2) Remove the leaves from the branches, leaving only 3-4 leaves.

(3) Prepare clean and loose soil, spray it with carbendazim for disinfection, and then water it thoroughly.

(4) Apply some carbendazim on the wound of the money tree branch, place it in a cool place to dry, and then insert it into the prepared soil.

(5) Place the flower pot in a well-ventilated environment without direct sunlight. In about 25 days, the branches of the money tree will take root and grow into a new money tree.

2. Water plug

(1) Select healthy branches from the gardenia and cut them with scissors. It is best to select branches after flowering, so that the success rate of cuttings is high.

(2) Soak the branches in potassium permanganate solution for half an hour. After disinfection, place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry.

(3) Prepare a plastic bottle and cut it open with scissors.

(4) Add water to the plastic bottle and place the branches in it. The roots of the branches should be immersed in water. If the branches are not long enough, you can use foam boards to fix them.

(5) Close the bottle, seal it with tape, and place it in a cool and ventilated place.

(6) This method increases the humidity of the environment for cuttings, making it easier for gardenias to grow roots.

3. No need to buy fertilizer anymore

1. Cut the peel into pieces and use it as fertilizer

(1) Prepare leftover fruit peels. Watermelon peels, banana peels, grape peels, apple peels, etc. will all work.

(2) Use scissors to cut the peel into small pieces. The smaller the better.

(3) Place the peel in a transparent bottle, add water, stir evenly, and seal it.

(4) It will ferment successfully after being placed in the sun for about a month. When using, take out the liquid in the bottle, dilute it with water at a ratio of 1:1000, and then water the flowers. It is a very effective organic liquid fertilizer.

(5) You can also mix the chopped fruit peels directly into the soil, water it thoroughly, cover it with a plastic bag, and place it in the sun.  

Stir it once every half a month and it will become fertile humus soil in about 3 months. It is much better for growing flowers than the soil bought from store!

4 Save the flowers and plants

1. Save yellow leaves:

(1) When the leaves of spider plants turn yellow and dry, the damaged leaves must be cut off, otherwise the nutrients of the plant will be wasted.

(2) If there are large areas of yellowing leaves or wilting, you can cut off all the leaves of the spider plant after ensuring that there are no problems with the roots.

(3) Place the spider plant pot with only the roots left in a cool and ventilated place. Be careful not to spill water on the wounds of the spider plant when watering.

(4) The spider plant will sprout again soon. After accumulating nutrients, the leaves of the spider plant will be crisp and green.

2. Save root rot:

(1) If the gardenia wilts for a long time or its leaves turn yellow and fall off, you should gently dig up the soil to check the root system. If the roots are rotten, you need to save them in time.

(2) Remove the gardenia from the pot and clean the soil around the roots.

(3) Use sterilized scissors to cut off the rotten roots, making sure to cut them off completely.

(4) Soak the intact roots in a solution of carbendazim for half an hour to disinfect them, let them dry and then put them back in the pot.

(5) After potting, the gardenia should be placed in a cool and ventilated place and allowed to settle for a period of time before normal maintenance.

3. Re-flowering after flowering

(1) Many flowers and plants can be cut with scissors after they have bloomed, and they will bloom beautifully again in a few days.

(2) After the flower wilts, choose the area below the two or three leaves under the flower and cut them off with scissors.

(3) After pruning, water the rose with fishy water (the water left over after washing fish). After about ten days, the rose will bloom again.
