To help your plants thrive and look their best all year round, try these four tried-and-true methods:
1. Repurpose Tea Bags
If you’re a regular tea drinker, don’t throw away your used tea bags—they can work wonders in your garden, especially for roses. Tea bags are rich in nutrients that can enhance soil quality. Simply bury the used tea bags near the base of your plants. Additionally, prune any dried-up blooms to give new flowers space to develop.
2. Boost with Cinnamon
Cinnamon isn’t just a kitchen spice—it’s also great for plants. Boil two cinnamon sticks in water to create a herbal tea, let it cool, and then spray it directly onto the soil. You can also sprinkle cinnamon powder around the base of your plants. Cinnamon is known for its antifungal properties and can help nourish the soil. Use this remedy once a week or more frequently for best results.
