Balcony green space ♣ multiplication of big and small things
Most of the plants are planted, which can usually reproduce various descendants or peers. This is a good feature of plants. Among them, we are experimenting to find out the lazy mode that can reproduce healthily, has a high success rate, and can be let go. When the balcony wants to plant, there is only one less pot, and there will never be a bunch of seeds and plants.
➤ Flowers and seeds
- Representative plants: perilla, sweet basil, pepper
- Perilla and sweet basil: Don't prune them in a hurry when they bloom, wait until they turn brown and fully mature, then cut them off and place them in a corner to dry. Both perilla and sweet basil are prolific lines, with a very large number of seeds in one bloom.
- Chili: There are a lot of seeds left in one chili, and the whole chili can be stored for a long time after drying.
- Waiting for you to sprout method:
Find an open potted area that can be potted with large plants, preferably a location where the sun will not be shaded too much after germination → sprinkle some seeds at will, press them into the soil a little, and avoid watering Float everywhere (of course I don’t mind if you don’t press in and float everywhere, it doesn’t matter!)
→ Water how you want to water every day. If you have seeds, you can rest assured to water more and keep the soil moist → When they are happy, they will naturally sprout and grow.
Usually after two or three months, if there is no news, I will throw some more seeds in. Winter is usually slower, and sometimes it will not be willing to emerge until spring, depending on the habits of each family.
➤ Hydroponic root hatching
- Representative plants: patchouli, mint
- After saving the rye espresso-colored glass bottle from a friend for reuse, I found this to be the perfect root jar. It is recommended to use dark-colored bottles (brown, green, blue) in the shape of a fat beer bottle. The rye juice bottle I just received is fat and has a stable center of gravity. It’s really perfect!
- Waiting for you to be happy with the root method :
The bottle is filled with tap water → the trimmed branches and leaves are inserted directly into the bottle, preferably at least the length of the head is exposed, not all in the water → the balcony is placed casually, usually in a safe place where it can be exposed to the sun → wait for them to be happy Roots will grow naturally → When the root system is strong, it can be moved to the soil pot.
Dark glass bottles are not easy to let moss grow in the water inside, so basically you can keep them all the time without changing the water. Of course, there is no problem if you want to change the water if you are in a good mood! The narrow-mouth bottle can slow down the problem of strong evaporation caused by the sun in summer. Usually, when watering, see if the water drops by more than one third and then add more.
➤Direct branch line
- Just plug any branch or leaf directly into the representative plant: left hand incense (to hand incense)
Left hand incense is really easy to live, as long as you need to control their growth, it is no problem to prune at will! - When branching, it is better to bring a little root system to better represent the plant: Lei Gong root, copper money grass, wormwood <br class="smart">These are all very likely to spread to all corners of the potted plant with soil, feel free to use grow strong and strong. If you want to branch, it is best to dig into the soil with some roots, basically the survival rate is very high!
- Small buds appearing next to it is a good time to divide a plant: Saxophylla<br class="smart">A friend gave us the Saxophylla, and one day, we found that there were small buds on both sides. Ask your friend, it is a good time to divide the pot. .
step:
Dig out the whole pot → truncate directly from the edge of the small bud → put the original main branches and leaves back into the original pot, and put the small bud in the new pot, you can bring some original soil + new soil. A little water for a few days is enough, and it will slowly grow up and be cute.
Balconies have always liked to plant useful and edible things, not hard-working people, and they also let them leisurely for the balcony green space. It is also the blessing that I want to share with my friends and want to have a variety of pots. Over the years, I have also explored some simple, convenient and easy-to-use reproduction models.
Looking at them, I feel that time will not stop, but you can take it slowly, just like life...
Like my work? Don't forget to support and clap, let me know that you are with me on the road of creation. Keep this enthusiasm together!
