First of all, let me ask you a question: Do you like to eat sweet potato leaves? It's the sweet potato leaves that pigs ate in the 80s.
Stir-fry it casually, with white porridge and delicious sweet potato leaves, nutritious, crisp and tender sweet potato leaves.
Well, I'm a big fan of it.
One day when I was shopping at the supermarket with my wife, I met and wanted to buy one, but I was rejected by my wife miserably on the grounds that it was too expensive.
But the supermarket is already discounting, 8 yuan after the discount, although it is a little dehydrated, but it can still be eaten.
(The arrow in the picture below is the sweet potato leaf with a discount of 8 yuan)
My wife said that if she was given some time, she could let me eat sweet potato leaves every day without spending money, as short as a month or as long as two months.
This stupid woman is talking big again, I'll bet on a pack of spicy strips, don't play tricks if you lose.
As a result, one morning more than ten days later, I ate a small plate of hot sweet potato leaves.
Sweet potato leaves come from the sweet potatoes that sprout at home, and my wife just threw the sweet potatoes into the water to grow lush sweet potato leaves.
In order to realize the freedom of sweet potato leaves, my wife did not only hydroponic a sweet potato, but we even vacated a wall.
This scene is still a bit spectacular, lush, and has a feeling of greenery.
A big gamble ended with the loss of a pack of spicy noodles, but I was able to eat sweet potato leaves without spending money, and I was very happy to lose.
But for my wife, the happiest thing is the process of raising sweet potatoes, she said that she is much happier than raising flowers, and it is very healing.
If you happen to have sweet potatoes at home, you might as well try hydroponics.
If you forget to eat the sweet potatoes and have sprouted, they will be raised faster.
Put the sprouted sweet potatoes in a container such as a dish and connect them with tap water to start curing.
The amount of water does not need to be too much, and one-third of the water contact area of the sweet potato can be guaranteed.
Put the hydroponic sweet potato cup on the ventilated table and window sill, you don't need to bask in the sun, but it is not afraid of strong light, and it is especially easy to raise.
It is recommended to use a transparent glass for maintenance, because the roots of sweet potatoes are white and tender, long and numerous, and they look clear and cool when soaked in clear water, and they are also very beautiful.
If the container is relatively small and the roots are too crowded, it is not good, so you should either prune the roots or change to a larger container.
If you plan to eat sweet potato leaves, I personally don't recommend adding nutrient solution, let's just maintain it with tap water.
Or use your own eco-friendly enzymes as fertilizer, which is safer and more secure.
Remember to change the water frequently, because the water contains the nutrients that the plant needs, so don't wait for it to absorb it and never have fresh nutrients to follow.
Moreover, changing the water frequently can effectively avoid insects and smell.
Usually cook a noodle or something for breakfast, just pinch a few young leaves, tender tips and blanch them together, which can not only supplement vitamins, but also match the color to increase appetite.
You must not be reluctant to pinch, for fear that it will be gone after pinching, or it will not grow well.
Sweet potatoes are vine plants, and in gardening terms, they are resistant to pruning, and the more you pinch them, the more buds they will grow, and the more branches they have, the better they will grow.
It's such a small tree, it looks good on the table, and you don't even need to buy a potted plant.
The slightly heart-shaped leaves are fresh and green, and the ornamental is also good.
You can also pull vines, climb and shape them in the direction you want.
Sweet potato is a plant that likes big water and sunlight, remember not to cut off the water, and then you can bask in the sun more.
In autumn, sweet potatoes will also bloom tweed.
It's really a surprise, have you ever seen the "trumpet flower" of sweet potato vines? There are pinkish-purple and blue-purple.
A sweet potato that sprouts and no one wants, if you give a little water, it will grow into a green elf, which is more beautiful than pothos, and it is too healing.
The sweet potato vines that grow can also be fissioned into multiple pots by cuttings.
Pinch a section of the sweet potato vine that is not old and tender, and insert it into the water like a flower arrangement to grow roots, or bury half of it directly into the soil.
Hydroponics is really fun and decompressing.
Some people say it's boring, but I think it's healing.
Would you like to give it a try?
I have to say, put some minced garlic and stir-fry sweet potato leaves, it's so delicious.
I'm going to pinch sweet potato leaves, and I invite you to come to my house to eat the leaves, do you want to come?
