Garlic is a source of invaluable benefits but can also have unsuspected uses in gardening. Did you know that this podded plant could be useful for your flower pots? This tip has an effect on your plants that you would be wrong to do without.
Garlic is the enemy of insects and larvae thanks to its repellent effect. To make matters worse, it increases the immunity of indoor plants and helps to quickly disinfect the soil in flower pots.
How to put garlic in flower pots?
You can enjoy the benefits of garlic in flower pots.
To do this, simply cut a clove of garlic into several pieces, then place it in the flower pot. The effects are visible within a few weeks. For good flower protection, this procedure must be repeated every two months for perfect care of your plants.
How to easily promote flowering?
One of the best gardening tips is to cut off the tops of dead flowers so the plant can grow new ones. There are two types of flowering plants: those that bloom once and then go dormant, and those that bloom continuously. Many balcony and pot plants are part of this and show their splendor from summer and often until the first cool temperatures of autumn.
Growing the plants
By cutting off the spent flowers, the plant grows to produce offspring. If you remove the flower heads, it will quickly produce new buds to maintain the natural cycle.
Cutting is not necessary for all plants
Not all plants need to have spent flowers removed to form new ones. The petunia is the perfect example. As the Central Horticultural Association Young Plant Section (FGJ) explains, these flowers should be cleaned when faded, which is not necessary for the magic bell variety.
3 tips for great indoor plants
Boosted growth
Water your plants with the cooled, unsalted water from cooking vegetables and hard-boiled eggs to provide them with plenty of minerals and vitamins.
Aphids chased away
Add 1 tsp. of olive oil to the soil of your plants to drive out aphids and other small parasites that compromise their well-being.
Radiant plants
Soak a soft cloth with a mixture of 25 cl of lager beer and 25 cl of water, then gently polish the leaves of your plants: the carbohydrates in the beer make them shine naturally.
