The potatoes and ginger have sprouted, don t throw them away, plant a beautiful potted plant in a po

It also bears fruit in pots, because potatoes and ginger are root fruits, and as long as the seeds are buried in the soil, potatoes or ginger will grow normally.

First of all, potted potato cultivation is far easier than everyone thinks, and the whole process can be roughly divided into the following steps. First, cut into pieces according to the germination on the surface of the fruit, preferably every 1 or 2 buds concentrated on the same piece of potato. Second, if conditions permit, Xiaohua recommends that you buy a special incubator from the flower market and use it instead of ordinary flower pots.

Secondly, when the step is carried out here, the preliminary work is basically completed, and the rest is the maintenance of the plant. First, potatoes like to grow in a relatively warm and humid environment, and the temperature in most parts of our country is not very high, so we must do a good job of keeping warm. In addition, normally, it takes no more than five days for the potato chunks buried in the pot to sprout and grow roots.

Small potatoes are also harvested, because after these potatoes sprout, new potatoes slowly grow from the roots, and these potatoes can be eaten as soon as they are ripe.

1. After the potatoes sprout, cut them first, leave one or two bud points on each piece, and soak them slightly with rooting water, which can improve the survival rate. Then prepare the appropriate potting soil, because the potatoes are grown in the soil, so you need to choose a relatively large pot, so as to provide enough space for the growth of potatoes, generally choose ordinary gardening soil, and add an appropriate amount of river sand in it, which can increase soil porosity, and then add some organic fertilizer to lay the base.

2. Plant the soaked potatoes into the soil, the mouth that sprouts is facing up, cover it with a layer of soil, pour enough water, and then put it in a bright place, and after a week, the small sprouts can break through the soil.

3. When the small buds grow, the later care will be the same as that of ordinary plants. Potatoes are a relatively drought-tolerant plant, wait until the potting soil is dry to water it, do not water it too much, otherwise the potatoes that grow from the soil are easy to rot. Fertilizer is applied twice a month, liquid fertilizer can be used.

At the same time, give it plenty of light, so that the potatoes below will grow beautifully and large, and they will also produce white flowers.

1. Potato seeds

First, we cut the sprouted potatoes into cubes, making sure that there is at least one full bud point on each piece. Then apply plant ash to the wound and disinfect it, and put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry for two days to let the wound pull back and prevent the potatoes from becoming moldy and rotten after planting.

Clause.

2. Potting soil

Potatoes prefer loose and breathable sandy loam. When preparing potting soil, we can choose humus soil or peaty soil mixed with granular soil such as river sand, and then mixed with a piece of garden soil. As long as the soil is loose, breathable and nutritious, potatoes can grow slowly in it.

Clause.

3. Planting

When planting, we put the dried potatoes in the soil with the sprouts facing up. Try to choose a larger pot for flower pots, and it is best to put some organic fertilizer such as dry chicken manure or dry sheep manure at the bottom of the pot. Place the potatoes taking care not to hurt the bud points, cover them with 2-3 cm of soil.

Finally, pour permeable water mixed with carbendazim once and place it in a ventilated place to scatter light. Budding will take about a week or so.

Clause.

Fourth, maintenance

When the potato sprouts break through the soil, we need to let it get as much sun as possible, preferably full sun, which can effectively prevent the plant from growing.

Because potatoes grow very quickly, if there is a lack of light, the plant will grow long, the stem nodes will be slender, and the growth will be crooked, which is very unsightly. Potatoes don't like water very much, so they should be kept dry. Wait until the potting soil is dry and then water it thoroughly to avoid the potting soil being wet and waterlogged.

As the potatoes grow, we need to keep cultivating the soil.

Avoid exposing the potting soil and getting the sun out of the potting soil. If the potatoes turn green when exposed to the sun, they will not be edible. During the whole growth period of the potato, we just need to let it bask in the sun as much as possible, and the potting soil is dry and watered thoroughly, so that it can grow naturally.

Clause.

Fifth, harvest

The most fun and most anticipated thing about potted potatoes is harvesting potatoes. It takes about two months from budding to harvesting, and when the leaves of the potatoes start to turn yellow and the branches start to dry, we have to stop watering and we can harvest the potatoes. In one pot we can harvest a large and small pile of potatoes.

1. Go to the vegetable market to buy some potatoes and come back, and when you buy potatoes, you will pick and choose the ones with more eyes, so that the potatoes have a high germination rate. After buying it back, store it in a cool, humid environment and let it germinate in natural conditions. There are many sprouts on potatoes, and almost every sprout will emit white shoots;

2. Cut a potato into two to four pieces, each piece must have buds on it, and try to make the sprouts on each piece of potato evenly distributed

3. Pour the plant ash into the cut potatoes and mix well to disinfect and protect the wound

4. Dig a small pit in a place where there is no fertilizer, bury the potatoes, and then put a small amount of farmhouse fertilizer or compound fertilizer 20 cm away from the potatoes

5. After planting, cover the soil flat, and water it if it is too dry. It can also be covered with weeds and leaves, and it is said that in doing so, many potatoes will be produced underground.

Don't throw away the sprouted potatoes, teach you how to make potato bonsai by hand, the method is very simple.

Potatoes will sprout on their own after a long time, you can put them in a small container, and then put them on the balcony, and the teeth that grow out can be made into pots.

Planting of the garden.

When growing plants, the first and most important issue to consider is the soil, which you may have already encountered during the design of your garden.

Many of the new garden soils are now directly construction waste, and many gardens have been planted for many years without any measures to protect the soil and increase soil fertility.

The better the soil fertility, the better it is for the growth of plants. If the topsoil of the plant is okay, but the subsoil has basically lost its fertility and needs to be replaced, then organic fertilizer must be buried, and the more the better.

When I say organic fertilizer, I mean a well-decayed blend or manure, but also mushroom-like compost and multi-purpose fertilizers. All of these fertilizers not only enhance soil nutrients, but also bind light, sandy soils together while loosening heavy soils.

In addition, the acidity and alkalinity of the soil must be determined, as different soil qualities will determine what kind of plants it is suitable for. Acidic soils are suitable for the growth of rhododendron plants, such as rhododendrons and camellias. Alkaline soils are suitable for the growth of flowers such as clematis, drunken fish grass and carnations.

Neutral soils, on the other hand, can be used to grow a wide range of flowers. To determine the pH of the soil, you just need to buy some test materials.

There's also the big problem that irrigation water has different pH levels in different places, unless you have a bucket of stagnant water (because the rain is neutral), which is something that every gardener encounters. My advice is to plant according to the location, choose the right plants according to the nature of the soil, and let nature do its job. It would be unwise to let plants struggle to survive in an unsuitable soil environment.
