An egg can make the epipremnum aureum grow wildly
Epipremnum aureum, as a common evergreen plant in homes, is often troubled by sparse leaves and stagnant growth. You may never have thought that the most common egg in the kitchen actually contains a secret to make epipremnum aureum grow wildly. By scientifically analyzing the nutritional components of eggs, we will unlock two unique organic fertilizer production methods.
Egg nutrition activates the growth potential of epipremnum aureum
Whole process of preparing egg white fermentation liquid
1. Egg white separation technology: Choose fresh local eggs, gently tap a crack on the edge of the bowl, and use the physical separation method of tilting the eggshell back and forth to obtain pure egg white. It is recommended to wear food-grade gloves during operation to avoid bacterial contamination.
2. Intelligent fermentation system: Pour the egg white into a 1.5L transparent PET bottle, add 200ml of rice washing water to form a complex bacterial community. Leave 1/3 space when sealing and place it in a scattered light environment at 25℃. Open the lid and release air for 15 seconds on the 3rd, 7th, and 15th day. After 30 days, observe the white precipitate at the bottom of the bottle as a sign of success.
Scientific application of fermentation liquid
The fermentation liquid needs to be diluted in a 1:15 ratio and watered early in the morning combined with loose soil every month. Experimental data shows that continuous use for 3 months can shorten the internode spacing of epipremnum aureum by 38% and increase the leaf thickness by 25%. Avoid direct contact with the leaf surface to prevent protein residue from blocking the stomata.
Eggshell micro-fertilizer long-term care system
Eggshell pretreatment process
Collected eggshells need to be boiled for 5 minutes for sterilization, then exposed to sunlight for 72 hours, and ground into 80 mesh powder with a food processor. This treatment can increase the efficiency of calcium ion solubility by 70% and avoid the risk of salmonella carried by raw eggshells.
Soil improvement double-mode application
When repotting, mix 1:8 ratio into the matrix to form a sustained slow-release calcium source for 6 months. For daily maintenance, dig a 2cm deep annular groove along the pot edge and bury 15g of eggshell powder every quarter. Combined with regular rotation of the pot, it can make the epipremnum aureum vines grow evenly.
Through the comprehensive use of these two egg derivatives, it can not only supplement key elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and calcium but also adjust the soil microbial community. It is recommended to combine scattered light control and atomizing humidification, and you can witness the miracle of epipremnum aureum exploding pot in three months. Remember that organic fertilizers need to be used gradually, and excessive use may cause root burn.
