Cotton Balls in Flower Pots: Nurture Your Plants with Nursery Secrets! (Page 2 ) | May 18, 2025

Placement: Position the cotton balls away from the plant’s stem, on the outer circumference of the container. This prevents root rot due to excess water.
Observing the Magic: Over a short period, you’ll observe the gradual degradation of the cotton balls, enriching the soil with phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium—the essential nutrients for your flourishing plant.
Repotting Ritual: During repotting, create layers—soil, cotton balls on the sides, and more soil. Gently lift the plant with its roots from the old pot, place it in the new one, and add more soil if needed. The cotton will retain moisture, allowing the plant to adapt seamlessly.
By incorporating this cotton technique, your plant will not only flourish but also become more self-sufficient, managing its needs with ease. So, the next time you’re nurturing your green companions, consider this nursery secret with a humble cotton twist.
