Title: The "weeds" in the flower pot can't be pulled casually, I didn't expect that there are so many benefits, and I just knew
In ordinary life, sometimes we ignore some seemingly inconspicuous things, like "weeds" in a flower pot, they may not be the flowers and plants we expect, but they contain unexpected benefits. I used to be a gardening enthusiast who didn't understand the amorous customs, until one day, a chance experience changed my concept and made me understand that the "weeds" in the flower pot should not be pulled out casually.
1. First "Wild Grass"
The story begins a few years ago, when I had just become interested in flowers and plants, so I put a few pots of various flowers and plants on my balcony. I thought I was a garden artist who took care of these plants every day and expected them to thrive, but it wasn't as I wanted it to be.
One day, I noticed some small green plants growing tenaciously in a pot of tulips, and I thought to myself, "Could it be the seeds blown by the wind?" I subconsciously wanted to pull them out, but they were stopped. A friendly neighbor told me that these are not weeds, but common succulents that not only do not affect the growth of tulips, but also provide benefits.
2. Surprise discovery
Since then, I've been keeping an eye out for the "weeds" in the pots and no longer getting rid of them. Gradually, I discovered the surprise. For example, in a pot of violets, there is a slender leafy plant, although I thought it was a weed, but later I learned that it is actually a succulent plant called snake grass, and its presence not only beautifies the pot, but also absorbs excess water and prevents the violets from getting too wet and causing diseases.
Next to another pot of lilies, I found a flowering plant that was widely regarded as a weed, and after asking professional horticulturists, it turned out to be a plant called lantana, whose root system can form a reciprocal symbiotic relationship with the lily, helping the lily to absorb more nutrients and make it grow stronger.
3. The enlightenment of knowledge
Through these experiences, I began to gain a deeper understanding of the diversity of plants. I used to think that only the flowers and plants I planted in the garden were valuable, and I ignored the "wild grasses" growing around me. However, in fact, these "weeds" are not useless things, they are often the elves of nature, bringing unexpected benefits to our gardens.
In my conversations with horticulturists, I learned that many "weeds" are actually nature's ecological balance regulators, absorbing excess water, providing habitat, attracting beneficial insects, etc., creating a good environment for our gardens to grow. Therefore, judging the value of plants based on their appearance alone is not comprehensive, we need to be more rational about each plant in the garden and explore their potential value.
Fourth, experience
Through this experience, I not only learned how to properly treat the "weeds" in the pot, but more importantly, I learned to keep an open mind in life and keep learning and exploring. Sometimes, what we see is only a superficial picture, and the truth is often more colorful than we think. Only by maintaining a humble heart and learning from others can we continuously improve our knowledge and ability.
In the future, I will take care of my garden more carefully, not only the flowers and plants I plant, but also the "wild grasses" growing around me, and discover their value to make my garden more colorful. At the same time, I also hope that through my own experience, I can inspire more people to pay attention to and protect the natural environment, so as to make our world a better place.
