Why do you put eggshells in a pot?

It is used to neutralize acidity, its ingredient is calcium carbonate, which can react with weak acids, and it is alkaline, which will not have a big impact on plants! Many flower lovers often put eggshells in flower pots, in order to allow the remaining egg whites in the eggshell to penetrate into the soil and increase flower nutrients. However, it is said that the application of eggshells and tea residues is harmful to flowers.

In daily life, some people like to buckle eggshells in flower pots or water flowers with leftover tea, thinking that this is beneficial to the growth of flowers, but in fact, it is often counterproductive. Because the egg shell is fastened to the pot, the remaining egg white in the shell will flow into the surface of the potting soil, and after fermentation, heat will be generated, which will directly cauterize the roots of the plant. At the same time, after the egg white is fermented, it will produce a foul smell, attract flies to grow maggots, bite the roots, and then easily induce the occurrence of diseases and pests, affecting the growth of flowers.

Residual tea contains theophylline, caffeine and other alkaloids, which have a relative destructive effect on organic matter nutrients in the soil. At the same time, the residual tea is covered on the surface of the pot, which will gradually ferment and rot over time, hindering the ventilation of the potting soil, causing hypoxia in the pot, affecting the respiration of the roots, and not conducive to the growth of flowers. However, after the preparation of egg shells, take the supernatant for top dressing or dry the eggshells and mash them, and apply them to the potting soil, which is beneficial to the growth and development of flowers.

The tea residue is used as a base fertilizer, which is also beneficial to the improvement of the soil. Keeping eggshells in pots is good for flowers. This is because the egg whites left in the eggshell allow microorganisms to slowly decompose and eventually become nitrogen fertilizer, which is equivalent to fertilizing the flowers.

In addition, calcium carbonate is the main component of eggshells, which reduces the acidity of the soil, so putting eggshells in pots can promote the growth rate of flowers and trees. Through the above investigation, I learned the knowledge of raising flowers, and I know why eggshells are placed in flower pots. I think that in the future, I will also put some eggshells in my flower pot to make my flowers grow as long as possible.

There is learning everywhere in life, and as long as we observe carefully and think more, we will learn a lot of knowledge.

Eggshells are great nutrients for flowers and plants! The eggshell has a thin film made of protein, which can be broken down into nitrogen fertilizer for flowers and plants. In addition, the calcium carbonate in the eggshell neutralizes acidic soils.

Eggshells are rich in nutrients, and after decomposition, there are substances necessary for plant growth, and organic matter containing calcium is the most! Putting some empty eggshells in the flower pot is conducive to the growth of flowers and trees, and there are some egg whites left in the eggshells, which are slowly decomposed by microorganisms and become fertilizers that can be absorbed by flowers and trees, mainly nitrogen fertilizers, as well as calcium and phosphorus and other elements Many flower lovers often buckle eggshells in flower pots, the purpose is to make the remaining egg whites in the eggshell penetrate into the soil and increase flower nutrients. However, it is said that the application of eggshells and tea residues is harmful to flowers.

1. Regulate the soil.

The egg shell is rich in nutrients, mainly calcium carbonate and protein, which are ground into powder and added to the soil, which can adjust the pH of the soil and increase the water permeability and breathability of the soil. Whether the eggshell is used as a container or fertilizer, it cannot be used directly, because there will be egg white mucus on the eggshell, and if you put it directly into the soil, it will breed bacteria, cause rot and smell, and finally cause diseases such as rotten roots. The egg shell should be cleaned, exposed to the sun, and then pounded into crushed shells or powdered into the soil, which can enhance drainage performance, release phosphorus, increase nutrients in the soil, and promote root growth.

2. Make fertilizer.

The egg shell is rich in nutrients, and also contains calcium, zinc and other elements, which can be added to the soil as fertilizer to provide nutrients for the root system. Crush the dried eggshells and sprinkle them into the soil. You can also put the broken eggshell into the compost bin to make fertilizer before use, and do not use alkaline soil.

It's too powerful to put an eggshell in a flower pot, and 9 out of 10 people don't understand the use, so let's learn.

Egg shells contain a lot of calcium and trace elements, which are helpful for plant growth, so put egg shells in flower pots

After the eggshells are washed and dried, the small pieces obtained by hitting them with a hammer can be brushed off the mud on the surface of the flowerpot and the mashed eggshells can be buried in it.

Principle: Egg shells contain a lot of calcium and trace elements, which are very helpful for the growth of plants, but they must be crushed.

Plants are indispensable to calcium, such as tomatoes, if there is a lack of calcium, the flowering period is easy to cause flowers to wither, calcium deficiency will reduce the ability of plants to absorb water, water is blocked and can not replenish water to flowers, it is easy to wither, and it is even worse if you want plants to grow well.

1. Control soft-shell pests.

After washing and drying the eggshell, break it, but not too broken, and then put it on the soil surface, with the sharp side facing up, you can effectively control pests, because the eggshell is sharp, and it is easy to scratch the mollusk.

2. Natural fertilizer.

The main component of the eggshell is calcium carbonate, which is the element that is required in the process of plant growth, and the eggshell can also supplement other nutrients, including common magnesium, potassium, iron and phosphorus.

3. Eggshell decoration.

Eggshells are sprinkled on the surface of the potting soil as a cheap and effective covering, and the eggshells are not too unsightly to look at, looking like a small layer of rock decoration for added aesthetics.

The structure of the eggshell of the egg is porous, and the eggshell of the egg is generally porous and breathable, so as to facilitate the metabolism during the evolution of life inside. Ventilation here refers to the air, including the oxygen in it.

Generally, the eggs just laid have a small air chamber, due to the drop in temperature, the egg yolk shrinks, the air chamber is a little larger, with the increase of storage time, the consumption of nutrients and the evaporation of water, the air chamber will gradually increase. If the egg is a fertilized egg, when the air chamber exceeds 1 3, it loses its hatching value.

Placing eggshells in pots promotes the development of the roots of the plant, allowing the plant to grow and develop vigorously. The egg shells can be put into the pan and stir-fried before use, and when the eggs are golden brown, they can be broken and sprinkled into flower pots. You can also pour an appropriate amount of rice water into the eggshell mineral water bottle and ferment it before using it.

Note that eggshell fertilizer can be used once a month, and too much dosage can easily lead to rot of plants.

Placing eggs in pots promotes the development of the plant's roots. The eggshell contains a large amount of calcium and phosphorus, which will speed up the growth rate of the plant and enable the plant to grow and develop vigorously. Note that the egg shell needs to be cleaned before being put into the pot before being used to achieve a better effect.

The egg shell can be cleaned and put into the pot to stir-fry, and the eggs can be collected after being golden brown, or the egg shell can be directly exposed to the sun, and the high temperature ultraviolet rays can have the effect of sterilization and disinfection. After that, the processed eggshells can be broken up and spread into the soil.

You can also crush the egg shell and put it into a mineral water bottle, and then pour an appropriate amount of rice water or orange peel water into the bottle and soak it for about 1 month, and then you can dilute the soaked liquid and water it on the flowers.

When using eggshell fertilizer, it is also necessary to control the amount of fertilizer used, and it is sufficient to use it once a month during the vigorous growth of the plant. Excessive dosage can easily lead to softening of the rhizome and even burn and rot. Note that eggshell powder should not be sprinkled on the rhizomes of the plants.

The benefits of eggshells in pots are as follows:

1. The eggshell is mixed with the soil, and the soil is loose and breathable.

Eggshell is rich in calcium, washed, dried and crushed, it can be used as granular soil, mixed into the soil when the flower is repotted in spring, increasing soil organic matter, playing the role of loose and breathable, many flower friends often use eggshell soil to raise succulents.

2. The egg shell is used as fertilizer, and the spider plant root is as strong as a radish.

Eggshell is rich in calcium carbonate, protein and other trace elements such as iron and zinc, and is made into fertilizer is organic nitrogen fertilizer and calcium fertilizer, which has great benefits for the growth of plant roots and branches.

3. Nutrient solution for egg shell fermentation.

Eggshells can also be fermented into nutrient solution, but generally not used alone, are added to some broken eggshells and peels when fermenting rice washing water to enrich nutrients. The eggshell can also be used to compost the soil, mix it with leftover leaves and dried fallen leaves, and spread it into the soil layer by layer for half a year to obtain soft and fertile humus.

4. Egg shells are used as seedling bowls.

The eggshell is very small and very breathable, and the flower friends gently poke a few small eyes on the eggshell with a needle, and then fill in the soil, which can be used as a seedling bowl when sowing, and directly sprinkle the seeds in it.

5. Eggshells are succulent and turned into mini potted plants.

Eggshell knock a small opening, plant succulent, is a mini cute little potted plant, leaf cuttings seedlings in the eggshell is more suitable, on the one hand, succulents need to control watering, eggshells are not convenient for watering, on the other hand, succulents need to be controlled, especially when the light is not good, eggshells can prevent succulents from growing.

The advantages of eggshells in pots are: eggshells to prevent insect pests, eggshells to supplement soil nutrients, and eggshells to regulate soil acidity and alkalinity.

1. Egg shells to prevent insect pests.

The collected egg shells, the egg membrane is removed, and then trimmed into sheets. Put it on a pot to keep sluggs and small snails. The eggshell is alkaline, and the alkaline environment is not liked by many insects, and the sharp edges of the eggshell fragments make it difficult for the insects.

Therefore, it can prevent insect infestations.

2. Egg shells supplement soil nutrients.

Wash the eggshell with clean water, then dry, roll it into small pieces, put it in aluminum foil tin foil, and then put it in the microwave oven for 2 minutes. This molecular alteration of active calcium does not resemble the calcium carbonate in lime. So it is easier to be absorbed by plants.

3. Egg shell regulates soil acidity and alkali.

Most of the flowering plants prefer slightly acidic soil, but there are also some flowers that prefer neutral soil. Plants that prefer neutral soil are planted in slightly acidic soil, and most of them are not well maintained. So adjust the pH of the soil.

After collecting the egg shells, they are crushed into minced pieces, put them in slightly acidic soil, and stir well.

How to use:

1. Sprinkle in a flower pot.

In the process of raising flowers, such as pothos, spider plant, junzi orchid, rubber tree, crab claw orchid, longevity flower and other plants, you can sprinkle a layer of eggshell on the soil surface of the flower pot every 2 months or so, so that the pot can be watered in the later stage, and the eggshell powder can be dissolved into the water, and then gradually absorbed by the plant roots.

2. When changing pots and soil, mix with soil.

In the spring and autumn of each year, when changing the pot and soil for the flowers at home, you can also add some eggshell powder to the mixed soil, mix and stir thoroughly, and then use it to plant flowers, so that in the later process of raising flowers, there is no need to sprinkle eggshell powder on the surface of the flower pot soil.

Eggshell cultivation has a promoting effect on the growth of flowers and plants.

The main component of the eggshell is calcium carbonate, calcium carbonate is not completely insoluble in water, nor is it easily soluble in water, but slightly soluble in water, which may generate calcium bicarbonate, which can release carbon dioxide or free calcium ions to promote the growth of flowers and plants. However, the amount of carbon dioxide released or free calcium ions is very small, and it will not have an immediate effect on the growth of flowers and plants, only an auxiliary effect.

Precautions: 1. Excessive eggshell cultivation can easily lead to soil calcification and compaction.

Because the main component of the eggshell is calcium carbonate, calcium carbonate releases carbon dioxide under the action of organic acids, which can be turned into calcium oxide. The more calcium oxide accumulates, the soil will calcify and be easy to compact, resulting in poor water permeability and air permeability, affecting the growth of flower and grass roots, resulting in poor growth. Especially for some flowers that don't like calcareous soil, such as azaleas, it is best not to use eggshells, so use eggshells in moderation, add a little less, and supplement calcium and phosphorus.

2. It is best not to clean eggshell flowers.

Some flower friends will wash eggs when raising flowers, wash them cleanly and reuse. Because if the eggshell powder is sprinkled on the surface of the basin or buried shallowly, the residual egg liquid inside will emit a peculiar smell or attract flying insects. Personally, I don't think it's necessary to do this, and add the remaining egg liquid to the flower soil for a month or two, so that the egg liquid is fully decomposed, and the calcium and phosphorus elements in the eggshell are fully decomposed and used later, not only does it not smell bad, but the effect is better.
