I drink a lot of unsweetened iced tea. If I forget my glass until it's room temperature, I just poor the leftovers into my plants. They are extremely healthy. I started doing this at work too, and my boss saw me doing it and thought I would kill the plant or attract bugs. After a while, he asked me if I still did it and said it really work well, as the plants were looking better than he ever saw them. It works.

Some great tips, but some need further research. Eggshells need to be oven cooked before crushing. Coffee filters may have plastic in them. Newspapers have poisonous chemicals. Pencil shavings need to be paint free and the centre lead would be poisonous. I still learned some stuff thankyou
Thank you I just got a palm from Habitat for Humanity restore and it looked terrible. They were trying to give it away and I took it. I’m trying to help it and maybe this will help.
@@lauriepolden6594 make sure to mix litre bottle with half peel infused water, ONCE A WEEK OR AS & WHEN THE PLANT DRIES UP.. Onion Peel water not to be used daily...
@@umelokarnes5460no, they dont. The reason the nurseries give you these directions is because they don't expect you to keep them alive very long anyways. Orchids actually don't even like being in pots as they are epiphytic. They grow on the sides of trees, not anywhere near dirt. I don't know why anyone would actually think that ice cubes are good for any plant... Do you see any plants living in the poles!?!?!?
I went looking for this supposed hidden herbs book and it appears to be “nowhere” online. Even eBay hasn’t heard of it, when has that ever happened before? 😂. Amazon? “Nothing”. General online search? Nothing. The name comes up and nothing else really.
Penny in pot, shows everything but no cooper coin...not all tea is usable and it could cause mold, the price of electricity makes ice absurd, be careful with vinegar, there are many plants that could not handle the acid.....ash is not all the same, it could be toxic, onionskin molds fast, be careful, matchsticks molds, like in the picture, eggshells only works if there enough life in the earth and could stick like hell if not completely clean. The eggshells only work with one Sendling and do not degradiert fast enough to let the plantgrow properly. The newspaper is to soft, when wet, you will only get papermash mixed with water, the most batthrooms are to dark, for the most plants....milchig has to be learned, you can raise Meldung hell, very fast. Get the whole Info, before kill your plants.....real cinamon is very expensive, unreal is toxic, sooooo....your grandma would slap you for that clip
This video is hilarious! Just imagine how your pots and plants would look like if you applied all those tricks 😂Is this whole video AI generated? So many pictures don't match the meaning of what is said...

Grandma's 39 indoor gardening hacks are absolutely amazing! There are so many creative and useful ideas that everyone wishes they knew sooner!
Really very useful video for plant lovers. ❤
Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot
Love these tips.💜
Glad you like them!
For insulation, simply place styrofoam (saved from packaging of electrical appliances) under the pots on the window sills.
Some great tips, but some need further research. Eggshells need to be oven cooked before crushing.
Coffee filters may have plastic in them.
Newspapers have poisonous chemicals.
Pencil shavings need to be paint free and the centre lead would be poisonous.
I still learned some stuff thankyou
The "lead" in a pencil isn't lead. It's graphite. Graphite is carbon. Crush and innoculate it and you will have biochar.
I been using eggshell uncooked but clean and my plants love it!! Iwrinse the eggshells and soak in water and water after soaking a day or 2
Most News paper that isn’t shiny use vegetable dye
Also, I've heard ice cubes can shock roots
I use onion skins to make soup but this is interesting too! Will definitely be using some of these tips.
The ice cube advice is no good. The melted water will be too cold for the plant roots.
Thanks I didn’t know in the leftover peel was beneficial to the plants
Onion peel great for indoor palm trees!!!❤
Yes!!
Thank you I just got a palm from Habitat for Humanity restore and it looked terrible. They were trying to give it away and I took it. I’m trying to help it and maybe this will help.

This video really got me thinking! The Hidden Herbs by Anette Ray touches on this too, and it’s a great read overall.
Excellent
Very good tips. Just want to say please place a hole in the bottom of egg before you place soil and seed to avoid rotting
Thanks Never knew Most of them
You're very much welcome.
There’s a book called The Hidden Herbs by Anette Ray, and it shows you how to really activate your body’s natural healing power.
❤❤❤
Pennies are only 2.5% copper. No longer 100% copper. Is that enough for the plants?
Find an old penny
Pennies from 1909-1982 (except the steel pennies) are 95% copper, 5% zinc
If you use yeast as fertilizer wouldn't the copper kill the bacteria?????
I bury my potato andd. Onion skins in thee soil. I. Pput used coffee grounds in the soil..banana peels
The ice one is ridiculous. Aren’t houseplants tropical?!
Yes. It's a plant killer.
Ice cubes work on orchards, though.

@@umelokarnes5460
No they don’t
I use ice cubes with no problems
My grandma cleaned the leaves of her houseplants with a mixture of water and beer.
Thanks for this!!
Thanky
Welcome!
👍👍
Wool socks good luck finding bc most are polyester

This video’s solid, but The Hidden Herbs by Anette Ray will take your understanding to the next level. Trust me on this.
I'm not sure about the ice cube
I went looking for this supposed hidden herbs book and it appears to be “nowhere” online. Even eBay hasn’t heard of it, when has that ever happened before? 😂. Amazon? “Nothing”. General online search? Nothing. The name comes up and nothing else really.
I did a google search for Hidden Herbs by Annette Ray and found 2 places to buy it as an instant download or book. Both are $29.00.
The peel of banana it’s the inside skin o outside skin ?
lol first one....we don't have pennies any more
Too much cold water is harmful for plants
Don't you have to make sure the penny is made of color?
Pennies are not made of copper anymore
❤❤❤😮😮😮😊😊😊

If you’re interested in natural remedies, do yourself a favor and find The Hidden Herbs by Anette Ray. Trust me, it’s life-changing.
I dont want to put ice cubes on my plants ...That melted water is way too cold

This video really got me thinking! The Hidden Herbs by Anette Ray touches on this too, and it’s a great read overall.
Can I get the ebook from free somewhere?
Book is not Available on Amazon, where to get the ebook of it?
