Can mosquito coils be placed in flower pots to kill insects?

1. Can kill insects

Put the mosquito coil in a flowerpot and light it, and the remaining ash will remain in the soil. They will seep into the soil with water and kill the eggs of pests in the soil. Therefore, putting mosquito coils in flower pots can kill insects.

2. Specific methods

First, take out the infested flowers. If the flowerpot is large, you can light the whole plate of mosquito coils. If the flowerpot is small, you can light only one section. Place two disposable chopsticks on the flowerpot to prevent the mosquito coil from burning the plants directly.

Next, prepare two larger buckets, put the entire flower pot into one bucket, and then cover it with another larger bucket upside down to seal the space.

After about twenty minutes, the mosquito coil will go out by itself, then pick up the bucket and let the mosquito coil ash remain in the flower pot. When it's time to water, the mosquito coil ash can penetrate into the soil along with the water and kill the insect eggs in the soil. At the same time, mosquito coil ash contains potassium, which can make the plants grow stronger.
