Can peanut shells be used as fertilizer for orchids?

Peanuts are not only nutritious, but also can be eaten in a variety of ways; they can not only be eaten raw, but also can be fried and cooked, and can be mixed with other dishes. Peanut shells are usually dumped directly, but in fact, peanut shells can also be used as fertilizer for many flowers and plants.

Many potted friends raise gentleman orchids at home, this kind of flower plant not only blossoms beautifully, at the same time the leaves are also broad and fat, but also very oil green. As a potted plant, the ornamental value of Magnolia is very high.

It has been proved that peanut shell can be used as fertilizer for magnolia. But generally do not bury it directly in the basin soil, because the peanut shell will release a lot of heat during fermentation and maturation in the soil, and it is easy to burn out the root system if it is close to the root system of Cymbidium.

But as long as we can scientifically apply peanut shell as flower fertilizer to Magnolia, it can not only make the leaves of the plant shiny and grow vigorously, but also make it burst quickly. It can be seen that the role of peanut shell in promoting the growth and flowering of Cymbidium is also very obvious.

But the peanut shell must be treated well before it can be applied to the orchid as flower fertilizer, and the raw peanut shell is directly buried in the flowerpot of the orchid, which is usually very harmful to its roots. It is recommended that you put the peanut shell in a bottle and expose it to the sun. There is always time for 3 days.

After that, we take out the peanut shell, then crush it, and mix the crushed peanut shell into the pot soil when changing the pot for the magnolia. In this way, the peanut shell becomes a good base fertilizer. And the basin soil prepared with peanut shell is also loose and permeable, which can prevent excessive watering from causing stagnant water and rotting roots in the basin to a great extent.

Not only that, we can also burn peanut shells to ashes and use them as fertilizer. When we need to fertilize the orchid, we can sprinkle a little into the basin, which can provide sufficient potash for the orchid. This ensures that the orchid is vigorous and robust, and is not prone to diseases and insect pests.

Therefore, raising Cymbidium with peanut shell can not only strengthen the root system of the plant, improve the absorption and supply capacity of the root of the plant, and make the orchid grow exuberant and greenish. At the same time, it can also lay a good foundation for later flowering, so as to improve the ornamental value of the whole potted orchid.
