Introduction:
For all the green thumbs out there, the quest for thriving and healthy plants often comes with a series of questions. How often should I water them? What fertilizer should I use? Can I prevent pesky weeds? And what about repotting—how should I go about it? Surprisingly, the answer to all these questions might just be a few cotton balls! Discover the gardening magic that nurseries around the world use to turn every potted plant into a wonder.
The Cotton Magic:
Cotton, upon closer inspection, reveals itself as a natural sponge: it retains liquids, slowly releasing them for hours on end. While it degrades quickly—about four weeks—it transforms into fertilizer. Leveraging this observation, all you need to do is surround the plant pot with closely packed cotton balls. Water them and let the magic unfold: the plant receives optimal nourishment, maintaining the perfect moisture balance, and the presence of cotton prevents weed growth.
