Grandma's 39 Indoor Gardening Hacks You'll Wish You Knew Sooner

Thank You!SO USEFUL!

I'm doing most of these. I also use epsom salt to get rid of garden snails. Works like a magic!!!

One can't use an egg-shell to grow a seedling and simply put the entire thing into the garden. The shell will take too long to break down, and the plant roots won't be able to grow beyond it. If you do use an egg-shell to start a seed, remove the seedling from the shell before putting it in the ground. This can be done by breaking the shell and then following the suggested tip to get calcium from it.

I never thought to plant “orenago” in an eggshell!

I tried using dried tea from used tea bags on my string of pearls succulent. It KILLED my beautiful , thriving plant. Word of caution.

All these are good and doable ideas (even the ice cubes which I have been doing for the past 30 years). Dry the banana peels and crush it along with egg shells and onion skins and add this mix to the soil. I also add used tea leaves which I dry in a bin. Tried, tested and successful hacks. Place your small plants on the fridge top, the warm surface provides humidity especially for succulents and seedlings.

"Grandma’s indoor gardening hacks are genius! 🌱 Love the simple ideas like using pennies, egg water, and onion skins to keep plants healthy naturally. Nature knows best! 🪴💚"

Yes I sent it to my sister

I water my plants with nectarine juice once a month, to help nectar growth.

Great tips ty🎉

Thanks to you for sharing this video and advice. I have plenty of pennies, so we do still have them. Instead of negatively being disrespectful, don't do those things you oppose. Try the ones you accept. Also, thanks to those who add information and resources. We're here to learn and share in a uplifting,educational way.

I always water my plants with the water from my fish tank.

You really do hate your grandmothers in real life isn't?

❤❤❤

Sorry cold ice water will shock the roots silly

My grandma cleaned the leaves of her houseplants with a mixture of water and beer.

Thank you

lol first one….we don't have pennies any more

I dont want to put ice cubes on my plants …That melted water is way too cold

Pennies are not made of copper anymore

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…

The peel of banana it’s the inside skin o outside skin ?

Did grandma knows that all those skins contain endless amounts of chemicals ?!?!?!?!?! We’re not living like Jesus days !!!! 🥲

Thanks Never knew Most of them

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.

Really very useful video for plant lovers. ❤

The ice cube advice is no good. The melted water will be too cold for the plant roots.

Growing a cutting in a potatoe DOES NOT WORK. It just grows potatoe plants!!

Too much cold water is harmful for plants

I'm not sure about the ice cube

Thanks I didn’t know in the leftover peel was beneficial to the plants

BEWARE when using CINNAMON in 2024 -25 Due to LEAD in many brands there is reports of dangerously high levels of LEAD in at least 2/3 of every brand tested there's a list of brands in another YT video ESPECIALLY da Leroy's for children and pregnant woman so DONT USE CINNAMON without checking if it's on the safe list ir not

Pennies are only 2.5% copper. No longer 100% copper. Is that enough for the plants?

Onion peel great for indoor palm trees!!!❤

👍👍

The ice one is ridiculous. Aren’t houseplants tropical?!
