I brought back 10 pots of flowers after climbing a mountain. I didn’t spend a penny and even saved soil!

What plants can be dug up and grown on the mountain?

There are a lot of wild plants on the mountain, and most of them are easy to grow. You can dig one when climbing, put it in a bag with the soil, and continue to grow it when you get home!

1. Acorus calamus

Acorus calamus generally grows in places where there is water on the mountain, such as in cracks between rocks by the water, in gullies by mountain streams, etc. Acorus calamus is very water-absorbent and when paired with moss and planted in a stone basin, it adds a lot of wild appeal.

2. Wasson

The stonecrop is a wild succulent that generally grows in sunny places such as hillsides and rock gaps. It also grows on the roofs of old houses in the countryside. In addition to being ornamental, the stonecrop is also a medicinal herb. The older and more mature it is, the higher its value.

3. Wild orchid

Wild orchids are generally distributed on mountains above 300 meters above sea level, in valleys with sparse forests and places shaded by tall trees. The environment with less strong light and cool ventilation is suitable for the growth of orchids.

It should be noted that during the digging process, do not get too close to the orchid to avoid damaging the root system. After digging, wrap the roots with moist moss to facilitate moisture retention.

What things on the mountain can be used as soil?

The soil in the mountains is still very fertile and can generally be used for the flowers at home.

1. Mountain mud: Mountain mud is formed by the long-term accumulation of fallen leaves in mountains and forests. It is divided into yellow mountain mud and black mountain mud. Huangshan mud is slightly sticky and contains less humus than black mountain mud.

Mountain mud is more suitable for growing orchids, rhododendrons, camellias and other acidic flowers.

2. Wood ash: There are a lot of fallen leaves and weeds on the mountain. Pick up some dry ones, take them home, burn them into ash, and mix them with the soil. This can not only fertilize the soil and increase air permeability, but also supplement potassium fertilizer.

Note that wood ash is alkaline and is suitable for flowers that prefer alkaline environments, such as geraniums and cacti.

3. Larch needles: There are many larch trees on the mountain. The fallen leaves in autumn and winter are small, light and easy to crush. After being piled up for a period of time, they become excellent nutrient soil. It can be used for adjusting acidity, supplying fertilizers and loosening the soil. It is especially suitable for growing rhododendrons.

What things on the mountain can be used as flower pots?

There are a lot of discarded bricks, tiles, rotten wooden stakes, etc. on the mountain, all of which can be used as flower pots, which are beautiful and breathable.

1. Stone flower pots

Many stones have grooves, which are simply natural flower pots. They look very beautiful when planted with green plants.

If it is a whole piece of stone, you have to drill a hole yourself, which requires tools such as diamond drill, hole opener, hammer, chisel, etc. It is very difficult, so flower lovers must not hurt your hands!

2. Wooden stake flower pot

Rotten wood stumps can also be used to grow flowers, and they are nutritious, making them especially suitable for growing succulents!

3. Brick flower pot

There are a lot of bricks on the mountain. You can pick them up, take them home, dig a few holes, and grow succulents.

Well, that’s all Huahua will introduce to you today.
