In our life, we basically lose these disposable paper cup express boxes when they are used up. I don't know that these things are used to raise flowers, but they are very easy to use. They are not only simple and convenient, but also very cheap. Come and have a look with the flowers!

Toilet paper

1 high altitude batten

For some cuttings are not easy to root flowers, such as rose, gardenia, osmanthus, etc., you can use high-altitude tissue banding method, so that it can take root quickly.

1. Fold the tissue or toilet paper in half twice and keep it for future use.

4. Cover the wound with paper towel, then spray water on the toilet paper, soak the paper towel thoroughly, then wrap the paper towel with plastic bag or plastic film, tie the top of the paper towel with string, and do not tie it too tightly at the bottom, so that the root system can be worn out.

5. Put another layer of newspaper on the outside of the plastic wrap for shading. Because if the branches are in the dark, it can promote the formation of root tissue, peel off the epidermis and let flowers and plants concentrate nutrients on the wounds, plus the paper towel humid environment, it can make the branches take root faster.

6. Spray paper towels with water once in about 3-5 days, and take root in about 1 month.

7. Cut the rooting branches, then insert them into the soil, and put them in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance for about 1 week, then they can be maintained normally.

Cutting without soil

When we are cutting, sometimes we have no way to judge whether it takes root or not. We can only take the branches out of the soil, which leads to cutting not taking root. Today, flowers teach you a soilless cutting method.

1. Things to be prepared: paper towels, cuttings and transparent plastic bottles. The mouth of the plastic bottle needs to be inserted with several small holes so as to be able to breathe.

2. Wrap the lower part of the branch with a paper towel, not too tightly, so that the root system can reach out, and then wet the paper towel with water (directly with a wet paper towel can also be used)

3. Wrap the remaining part with paper towel, but pay attention to exposing the bud eye so that it can germinate later.

4. Put the branches wrapped with paper towels into the bottle, and then put them in a cool and ventilated place. Fill the paper towels with water every few days, so that the paper towels are always wet.

5. It can take about 10 days to take root. After taking root, it can be transferred to the flowerpot. Because this method can ensure high air humidity, can speed up rooting speed

Rootless grafting

Toilet paper is not only clean and less germs, but also water absorbent and moisturizing. It can be used for grafting, which can greatly improve the survival rate.

1. Prepare the grafted robust branches, knives, transparent tapes, fresh boxes, toilet paper

2. Embed the branch to be grafted, and then wrap it on both ends of the branch with a wet tissue. You can choose the amount of toilet paper.

3. Put 6-8 layers of toilet paper on the bottom of the lunch box or the fresh-keeping box as a paper bed, and then spray the toilet paper wet. Do not use too much water, so it is better not to accumulate water. After that, put the grafted branches on the paper bed with the bud eyes facing up and arranged in order.

4. Close the cover and put it in the dark for a week, so that the wound healing tissue and the healing tissue at both ends of the branch can grow well quickly. After about a week, observe the healing of budding. If the healing is good, put it in the astigmatism and wait for rooting. After about 2 months, the roots grow.

Disposable paper cups

1 cuttings

1. Prepare several disposable paper cups that are not used in the home and poke holes at the bottom.

2. Prepare the strong branches for cutting, put them in carbendazim or potassium permanganate solution for disinfection for half an hour, and then put them in a cool and ventilated place to dry. Take triangle plum as an example.

3. Fill the disposable paper cup with pure vermiculite or sand, then put the paper cup into the tray with water, and let the paper cup slowly absorb water to the full state.

2. Use scissors or knife to pierce the bottom of the two cups, then put the small cup into the large cup, and then pass the straw through the gap between the two cups.

3. Pour the mixed cement into the space between the two paper cups. In order to ensure that there is a pot bottom, you can lift the small paper cup toward the top before pouring cement, and increase the gap between the big pot and the small paper cup. Wait until the cement covers the bottom before putting it down.

4. Put the paper cup in a cool and ventilated place to dry. When it is found that the cement has hardened, the paper cup can be torn off.

6. Because disposable paper cups are usually small, the cement flowerpots made of paper cups are basically used to grow more meat.

A4 paper vegetable

We usually use A4 paper for writing. In fact, it can be used to grow vegetables, and the vegetables are just fresh and healthy nutritious vegetables.

1. Preparation materials: 2 pieces of A4 paper (no writing is required), a double-layer tray with holes, a small watering can and a package of seeds

2. Soak the seeds first. According to the hardness of seeds, the soaking time is determined. For example, radish seeds take about 6-8 hours, while pea seeds take 10-12 hours.

3. Put the two trays together, then spread a piece of paper on the tray with grid, and then spray the white paper with a spray pot.

4. Evenly sprinkle the soaked seeds on the paper to ensure that each seed does not overlap, and then spray water once with a watering can.

5. Cover the sown seeds with a layer of paper, spray them with a watering can, then place the tray in a dry and ventilated place, and avoid direct sunlight before sprouting.

6. After finding the seeds sprouting, remove the upper layer of paper, and then spray water about 3-5 times a day to ensure that the paper at the bottom is kept in a wet state.

7. After rooting, add water to the tray at the bottom, and the water level is the best to contact the grid. But when adding water, be sure not to soak the seeds, otherwise the seeds are particularly perishable. Usually about 1 - 2 days to change the water in the tray.

8. Spray water every day until the sprout grows to 5-15cm. This kind of vegetables, no fertilizer, no soil, health and environmental protection, is really necessary at home!

Wet tissue sprouts

Using wet tissue to promote germination, germination rate is also very high

1. Prepare the flower seeds and soak them in water for one night to improve the budding rate.

2. You can use a wet paper towel directly, or you can use the toilet paper as a wet paper towel after it is soaked with water, spread the wet paper towel into the basin, and then sprinkle the seeds.

Make a nursery box

Newspapers can be degraded by themselves. Using newspapers to make seedling boxes can not only protect the environment, but also be used as fertilizer, and even save the money of buying seedling boxes. It's a lot of money at one stroke.

1. Find some old newspapers that you don't use at home. The size of newspaper cutting depends on the size of seedling box you need.

2. Fold the newspaper vertically, and then fold it horizontally once again.

3. Fold the two bottom edges in half along the center line just folded.

4. Fold the rectangle paper on the triangle in the direction of the triangle and then fold it in half.

5. After turning over, it's like this

6. Fold the two sides in half along the central line again, and then fold them in half as shown in the figure below

7. As in step 4, fold the square paper on the triangle twice more in the direction of the triangle.

8. Fold it in half and then open it, and put it in the front pocket.

9. Pick up the sharp corner of the triangle, fold the rectangular corner of its upper left corner, and fold it again. Just press the small straight edge it folds out

10. The last step is to open the small box and press the crease just folded in, so that a triangle is left at the bottom, which can be used as a double-layer bottom to make the seedling box more solid.

11. Add soil to the seedling box made by newspaper and use it directly.

2 cushion basin bottom

The water permeability of the newspaper is very good. If it is usually padded on the bottom of the flowerpot, it can increase the air permeability and water permeability, so as not to let the flowers rot.

Carton

Make a flowerpot

We basically have a lot of waste paper boxes at home. These boxes take up a lot of space at home. It's better to make a flowerpot for secondary use

1. The size of the paper box can be determined according to the size of the flower you want to plant.

2. Use transparent tape to seal the bottom of the carton, mainly for the purpose of waterproof and firmness.

3. Seal the surrounding of the paper box with adhesive tape to prevent the soil from cracking after it is put in.

4. According to different kinds of flowers and plants, choose different nutritious soil and put it in cartons.

5. It's a good choice to water it once and then plant flowers or vegetables in cartons.

2 cushion basin bottom

Cartons are generally very thick, the paper box cut into small pieces, pad in the bottom of the flowerpot, you can achieve the purpose of water permeability and air permeability.
