Today, when the epidemic is still not completely clear, gardening can allow you to feel the beautiful spring without leaving your home, and more importantly, it can help you maintain a good mood during the time at home. The following 22 tips are not only suitable for people who are not familiar with gardening, but amateur gardening masters can also learn something here.
Are your plants drooping and not growing? Even if they are placed in the best position and given enough water, they still don't seem to be growing. That's because your green babies need fertilizer. But you don't have to spend a lot of money or use chemical products. All you need is something you can find in your trash can.
Cheap and nutritious fertilizerPlant an egg in the soil. This unique gardening trick will make your garden bloom!Anyone who has a green thumb knows that good soil is the most important element in gardening. However, not every soil is rich in nutrients, and this simple yet unusual technique will show you how to add the nutrients that plants need to their soil.Materials needed: flower pot, soil, raw eggsFirst, you need to know where you want to plant your plants. This location depends on the seeds you are using and the type of plants. Some may have to be in direct sunlight, and some must be in the shade. Once you have decided, that is where you will plant your eggs. Yes, you read that right, "plant" eggs.
It is well known that eggs are rich in many nutrients that plants also need. The limestone in the eggshell acts as a fertilizer, and the yolk is rich in calcium, which helps plants grow and ensures that their roots do not rot.Now pick up the flowerpot and fill it with about 5 cm of soil. Then crack the egg (a bad egg with a cracked shell will also work), place it in the middle of the flowerpot and cover it with soil. The egg will decompose in the flowerpot and turn directly into fertilizer. The key is not to place the egg at the bottom of the pot, and do not let it directly contact the roots of the plant.Tip: Some gardening experts have discovered that bananas are also a good fertilizer. Give it a try!Now is the time to plant them according to the instructions on the seeds.
Next is to wait for the plants to start sprouting, which usually takes a while, but patience is rewarded and when they pop out of the soil, you will have a super healthy plant.
The special thing about this trick is that you can use bad/old eggs that have passed their expiration date. This way you won't waste any of the egg's value! Try it!

Using this little trick, you can extend their life in a special way.Materials required: roses, potatoes, drill, flower pots, soil, mineral water bottles.Choose the roses you want to plant in the pot, remove the rose flowers and thorns, and remember to pick off the leaves, leaving the rose stems.

In most cases, there is only one place for a broken flower pot to find its new home: the trash can. But its fate doesn’t have to end this way! Next time you have a broken flower pot, you can try to turn it into a wonderfully charming decorative piece.When you see this, do you want to smash a flower pot at home? With this cute outdoor decoration, you may have some very special little visitors... fairies?
Self-watering flower pots are a great helper on vacation. You can make your own water-absorbing glass vase using an empty glass bottle: Use a glass cutter to make a circle on the glass where you want to cut. Pour ice water over the cut, then pour hot water. The temperature will cause the glass to break along the cut. Use sandpaper to smooth the cut to avoid hurting your hands. Use a shoelace to pass through a perforated cork and then insert it into the bottle. Place the top half of the bottle upside down on the bottom of the bottle. The top is ready for planting.Everyone who has plants at home must have experienced this situation: because of something, you are away from home for a while, maybe two or three days, or maybe a week. When you return home and open the door, you see dry and dying plants crying to welcome you!Some people may stubbornly insist that these plants are hardly dead and will revive again, so they immediately "replenish" them with large amounts of water, but often they still cannot be saved.Here's a little trick that will solve this dilemma: your plants will always have water and stay fresh whether you're home or not.Materials needed: empty glass bottles, a machine for cutting glass bottles (wine bottle cutter), boiling water, sandpaper, cork, drill, cotton thread (about 15 cm long)The glass bottle is placed on a glass bottle cutting machine so as to be cut into two halves.
Hold the glass bottle and slowly rotate it to create a cut in the bottle.
Now place the bottle in a sink or large bowl and run hot water over the cut lines from the previous step. (Be careful not to burn yourself!)
Now switch to cold water and run it over the cut line.
Yes, you guessed it, use hot water again. Usually the glass bottle will break along the cut line at this point, and the neck of the bottle will fall into the bowl or sink.
After the glass bottle is broken, use sandpaper to grind the cut surface until it is smooth and neat.
Make a hole in the center of the cork, about 0.3 to 0.4 cm in diameter.
Pass the cotton thread through this hole. Note: the cotton thread protruding on the upper and lower sides must be the same length.
Insert the cork with cotton thread into the mouth of the glass bottle, and put it upside down into another glass bottle (with a bottom), and then pour water into the glass bottle with a glass bottom.
Now all you have to do is transplant your favorite plants and soil into the inverted glass bottle.
That's it, done!

However, the little trick I will teach you today does not require vegetable seeds, but only some soil and a pot to enjoy fresh and crisp vegetables.Cut off a 5 cm length from the root of the stem and place it in a bowl filled with water, with the root side facing downward. Soak it for five to seven days before planting.
To reuse the mint leaves, you must have leaves left on the stem. When the stem is placed in water, new roots will quickly begin to grow. Once the mint roots are 5 cm long, transplant them into soil.
To reuse the green onion, cut it off about 3 cm above the root. Then soak the root in water for 5 to 7 days and then transplant it into soil.
The situation with celery is the same as that with onions, except that the cut length should be about 5 cm longer. 
If you want to grow basil, keep the pair of leaves on the stem and place it in water. Once the roots are 5 cm long, you can transplant them.
To plant onions, they must be cut in a special way (see video). Then they are placed root-side down in the soil and covered with a thin layer of soil.
To grow garlic, simply place peeled garlic cloves in the soil.

Paint six small flower pots dark blue and four light blue. Then hot glue the two light blue pots and the three dark blue pots together.
Turn the large dark blue pot so the large opening is facing downward. Pass the rope through the drainage hole in the pot. Pass the top end of the rope through the hole in the pair of small light blue flower pots and tie a knot. Pass the bottom end of the rope through the hole in one of the two dark blue pots and tie a knot.
Repeat this process with the second rope and remaining small pots.
Use hot glue to attach the large light blue plant pot to the dark blue one, then use a waterproof felt pen to give it a friendly face before planting.
