Sprinkle some ash in the pot, all the insects will die, and the flowers will sprout green buds!

Sprinkle some mosquito coil ash in the basin and all the insects will die!

The first thing Huahua wants to talk about is naturally the mosquito coil ash which is most commonly used in summer! Don’t throw away the ashes from used mosquito coils. It’s great for growing flowers!

How to do it?

1. After lighting mosquito coils at home, collect all the mosquito coil ashes for later use.

2. If you want to save some trouble, you can directly sprinkle a thin layer of mosquito coil ash on the surface of the flower pot. In this way, when watering, the mosquito coil ash can penetrate into the potting soil along with the water, thereby killing the small insects and various insect eggs in the soil.

3. You can also mix mosquito coil ash with water in a ratio of 1:50, then put it in a spray bottle and spray it directly on the leaves. This will kill those annoying little black flies!

4. Mosquito-repellent coil ash can not only kill insects, but also contains some potassium fertilizer. Adding a little potassium fertilizer to the flowers can make the plants stronger, which is simply killing two birds with one stone!

Sprinkle some cigarette ash in the pot and all the bugs will run away!

Many flower lovers told Huahua that nowadays most families use electric mosquito coils, and not many people use mosquito coils tablets. In this case, flower lovers who have smokers at home should not waste them, as cigarette ash can also be used to grow flowers!

How to do it?

1. If there is a smoker at home, do not throw away the ashes in the ashtray. Just keep them for future use.

2. Sprinkle a layer of cigarette ash on the surface of the pot. Be careful not to sprinkle too much, so as to prevent the small black flies from laying eggs in the soil. When watering, the cigarette ash will penetrate into the flowerpot with the water, thereby killing the bacteria in the soil.

3. If there are cigarette butts left over from smoking besides ashes at home, soak the ashes and cigarette butts directly in water. After soaking for about 24 hours, take out the cigarette butts and the like, dilute the remaining solution with water in a ratio of 1:50, put it directly in a spray bottle and spray it on the leaves.

4. Tobacco water contains slightly toxic substances that can kill some pests such as small black flies and aphids, but it has no harm to flowers, so flower lovers can use it with confidence.

Sprinkle some lime in the basin, and snails will never dare to come again!

Many flower lovers get scared when they hear about lime. Isn’t lime highly alkaline? How can it be thrown into flower pots? In fact, as long as we control the dosage, lime is also a good thing for growing flowers!

How to do it?

1. Prepare some lime for later use. Sprinkle the lime in a thin layer around the perimeter of the pot, but be sure to keep it away from the roots and avoid getting it on the leaves.

2. When snails come out in the evening to eat leaves and flowers, they will die of dehydration when they touch the lime. If you are worried that it is not safe to spread lime in flower pots, you can also spread it directly on the ground around the flower pots to prevent snails.

Sprinkle some wood ash in the pot, and the flowers will grow strong and vigorous!

There is a big pot for cooking in Huahua’s hometown. Every time after cooking, a lot of wood ash will be scooped out from the bottom of the pot. These wood ashes are good treasures for growing flowers, so don’t throw them away casually!

How to do it?

1. Collect all the wood ash at home and set aside for later use.

2. Prepare a clean plastic bottle, sprinkle a handful of wood ash into it, and then add water. A ratio of about 1:10 is enough. Then tighten the bottle cap and shake it vigorously a few times to allow the wood ash and water to fully dissolve.

3. Pour the wood ash solution into a bottle and spray it directly on the branches and leaves where there are insects. Use it 2-3 times a month to kill all the insects.

4. If you think mixing the solution is too troublesome, you can also poke a few small holes next to the flowerpot and bury the wood ash directly in it, or spread it directly on the surface of the pot. This can not only kill the insects in the soil, but also supplement potassium fertilizer. It is simply killing two birds with one stone!

That’s all for today’s introduction to Huahua!
