Many people have found a real hobby in maintaining their gardens or the plants they have at home, to the extent that they have discovered many tricks to ensure that they grow perfectly.
Unfortunately, not everyone manages to have the time and above all to have the proverbial green thumb, which is needed to have ever-living plants and fabulous balconies and gardens with beautiful plants and flowers.
Plants: here are ingredients that are worth their weight in gold for their upkeep
Having a garden or balcony full of flowers and plants is a sign of elegance in the collective imagination, just think that all royal palaces have gardens that make your head spin.
They were well cared for and were and still are experienced gardeners who tend to make the most of the task of keeping them in the best possible order so that when the season is right they will bloom.
Even in many movies we can see the importance of gardens and plants, such as in Edward Scissorhands , where the main character cut hedges that gave shape to his imagination, or even in Alice in Wonderland , where he stopped in a flower garden.
In many cities in Italy, there are gardens and botanical gardens to visit that contain specimens of plants also coming from abroad, and sometimes we are very surprised by the shape and colors of some of them.
But if we remain a little more modest, we can recreate a beautiful children’s room in our homes with plants and flowers that we place in our homes or on our balconies, and we can help ourselves with some ingredients.
Here is what you need to use
First, we take two eggshells and crush them in a bowl , into which we put a handful of potato peels and then two sliced banana peels .
As soon as these ingredients are combined, we pour a liter of water inside and let the mixture sit for three days , after which time we remove the mixture and strain it using a strainer, leaving only the liquid part.
Once this is done, we take a cup of this solution and pour it directly into the soil of our plants, which will tend to absorb all the necessary nutrients coming from these ingredients.
Eggshells provide calcium and therefore tend to strengthen leaves and roots, potato skins are rich in vitamin C and vitamin B6 and will help our plants grow healthily.
While banana peels are rich in potassium and will ensure that the flowers of our evergreen friends grow and bloom profusely, providing beautiful and vibrant colors.
Additionally, to reduce soil moisture, walnut shells can be placed on it . This also helps to keep insects away from our plants , because they will not like the smell of lauric acid contained in them.
