Growing flowers is an activity that is good for both physical and mental health. With the increase in flower lovers, a variety of unique flower raising techniques are also emerging. Today, I'm going to share some of the tips and tricks I've heard about growing flowers that might blow your mind.
1. Don't buy flower soil, fertile soil can be found everywhere.
The quality of the flower soil has a direct impact on the health of the plant. There used to be people who thought that flowers could be grown on any soil, but it turned out to be a failure. Later, it was discovered that the soil in different regions contained different nutrients, and the indiscriminate use of the soil did not guarantee the growth of plants. Now, the loam soil I want to introduce is actually the common humus soil. This soil, which is usually located under trees, has undergone a natural process of decay, is loose, has good water retention, and is rich in nutrients. After collecting humus soil and returning home, it is mixed with garden soil, granular soil and organic fertilizer after exposure and sterilization, and it becomes a high-quality flower soil.
2. Grass and wood ash has the effect of sterilization and growth.
1. Plant ash can promote the growth of flower buds. Simply cover the surface of the seeds with plant ash to keep warm, and raise the temperature to help the flower buds grow.
2. When cuttings, the plant ash can accelerate the healing of branch wounds, and only need to apply the plant ash to the wound to speed up the healing speed.
3. The aqueous solution of plant ash can not only prevent the infestation of diseases and insects, but also enhance the immunity of plants, and can be used to water plants.
4. For the problem of defoliation, the aqueous solution of plant ash is also effective, which can promote the growth of leaves and make the plants more robust.
3. Moxa strips are effective and environmentally friendly.
Wormwood is common in summer, and the smoke from its combustion quickly kills insects. In addition, wormwood also has a long-term inhibition effect against bacteria and viruses and is a very effective plant protection agent.
Fourth, the peel fertilizer, environmental protection and affordable.
Making fertilizer from fruit skins is both environmentally friendly and economical. After chopping the banana peel, put it in a plastic bottle, add an appropriate amount of water, and place it to ferment in the sun to obtain high-quality organic fertilizer. The same method applies to orange peels, just add a small amount of rice water. This more acidic fertilizer is especially beneficial for southern plant growth.
5. Beer and sugar promote flowers, tips and big surprises.
In the case of longevity flowers, adding beer and sugar in moderation can promote flower bud differentiation, increase the number of flowers, and make the plant more lush. The same method is also applied to plants such as pothos, which can make the leaves more intense.
6. Waste utilization, foam boxes to recreate flower pots.
When buying fruits, they often use foam boxes for packaging. Leaving used foam boxes as flower pots is not only environmentally friendly but also saves money. After drilling holes in the bottom of the box and draining the water, it can be used directly to grow plants. In addition, the foam box has a thermal insulation function and can be used as a temporary greenhouse in winter.
7. Iron nails in the soil, plant health assistants.
Iron nails are buried in the soil, and over time, the nails rust and release iron elements, helping to prevent yellowing and slow growth of leaves. In addition, the nail regulates the pH of the soil, making it more suitable for the growth of southern plants.
