But for the majority of foodies, they also have a special requirement for potted plants-they can eat! To this end, let's talk about what edible and economical potted plants can be planted in the office today.

1, cherry tomato

The cherry tomato is also called the cherry tomato. Tomatoes, as common fruits and vegetables in daily life, are rich in vitamins, which have the effects of promoting fluid production to quench thirst, invigorating stomach and promoting digestion, clearing away heat and toxic materials, cooling blood and calming liver, nourishing blood and stimulating appetite, especially delaying aging and winning the hearts of many girls. Moreover, cherry tomatoes are brightly colored, and the fruits are more delicious against the green leaves. Take it as an interior decoration, you can watch it when you are free, and you can pick one at will when you are mature, so that you can better understand the sweetness of pure natural food, which can be seen, eaten and fed well.

Cherry tomato is an attached climbing plant. Because the plant of the cherry tomato is relatively small, you can choose a smaller pottery basin when potted the cherry tomato, and then you must set some brackets around the flowerpot to facilitate the later growth of the cherry tomato branches and leaves, but you won't climb too high, so don't worry about the inconvenience in the office.

The cherry tomatoes are sunny. You can put the potted cherry tomatoes on the sunny balcony, water them regularly, and apply some fertilizer if possible, so that you can bear more fruits, but try not to choose a fertilizer with strong taste? Because it will affect the office environment.

2. Strawberries

I believe many people like strawberries, but they are more expensive to sell. In fact, we can grow our own strawberries. Strawberries are not difficult to grow. They are usually green and eye-catching, but the result is that we can pick them and eat them.

When planting potted strawberries, try to choose good varieties. There are many varieties of strawberries, most of which are suitable for family potted plants, but it is best to choose varieties with shallow dormancy, good fruit shape and strong fragrance. You can buy strawberry seedlings directly from the internet and plant them in pots, which not only saves seedling time, but also avoids the problem of low seedling emergence rate.

When strawberry plants grow to a certain height, they will grow a lot of creeping branches, which should be pulled out in time to improve fruit yield. Before flowering, when strawberry leaves grow too densely, the leaves should be properly thinned to increase the light transmittance and air permeability, so as not to affect flowering. Strawberries should be dragged out of the pot in time after fruiting, or covered with a layer of clean weeds to prevent strawberries from touching the pot soil and causing rot. In addition, in the fruit-bearing period, it is necessary to regularly check whether there are abnormal fruits or rotten fruits, and if there are, they should be removed in time so as not to affect the quality of other fruits.

3. kumquat

The branches of kumquat are also beautiful. Put it in the office, it not only purifies the air, but also looks elegant. After the kumquat bears fruit, the golden color is beautiful, edible and interesting. Generally, it is also placed at home and office as a New Year's Eve flower.

Kumquat is easy to feed and does not need strong light. Water every day, put some organic soil and apply some fertilizer when planting. Kumquat usually changes pots before flowering for about 3 years. First, tilt the potted plants at a certain angle, hold a wooden stick with the same size as the drainage hole at the bottom of the basin, and insert it into the soil from the drainage hole at the bottom of the basin to a certain depth, so that after the soil is loosened, it is convenient to knock out the complete kumquat with soil balls, cut off the dead roots and old roots that expose the soil balls, and remember to leave more fibrous roots, which is beneficial to restore growth as soon as possible after changing the basin.

The size of the new flowerpot depends on the growth of the plant. For example, a large basin is growing well, and the basin bottom needs to be stuffed with broken basin pieces to make a drainage layer, and the cushion should be made of sand that is conducive to drainage. Rotten humus-rich soil (base fertilizer), loose and fertile soil and well-drained neutral soil should be placed in turn, compacted while filling the soil, and finally watered once and placed in the shade.

4, mint

Mint is a kind of grass that everyone likes. It has many functions. At the same time, it is also a commonly used Chinese medicine in China. Can be used for treating influenza, sore throat, sweating and fever. Take it orally and treat eczema and neuralgia externally. Moreover, people still have the habit of making tea with mint, which has the function of improving eyesight and clearing heart. Imagine planting a pot of mint in the office, picking a piece and chewing it when you are sleepy, and instantly you are completely sleepy and devote yourself to your work.

Mint has fewer pests and diseases. Find a beautiful flowerpot and put it directly on the table. Because mint has a strong regenerative ability, picking a leaf in the afternoon and putting it on the temple, or chewing it after washing, can play a refreshing role. After picking mint, it will grow leaves, which not only fills the office with fresh fragrance, but also can eat, refresh and soak in water, which is very convenient.

5, shallots

Onions are an indispensable ingredient on the table. The onions and leaves planted in potted plants on the balcony can be eaten. We can order takeout in the office, pinch some office onions and put some in the soup. Of course, we can also pick some home-cooked dishes after work. Chopped green onion mixed with tofu, scallion oil noodles, scallion oil cakes, all kinds of food can not be separated from chopped green onion, mainly delicious and practical.

In fact, we can use the roots of onions to plant directly, and the threshold for planting is unimaginable. People who don't have any gardening experience often just transplant potted plants into the soil for a period of time, and they can harvest edible leeks after 12 days. Like leeks, shallots have a strong vitality. Don't uproot when picking. After the roots are left, huge shallots can be harvested in 12 days, which is why people who grow shallots often can't eat them all in one year.

These are some edible potted plants that I recommend for you to grow in the office. If you are tired from work, you can pick it and eat it. If you like, you can take action and plant beautiful and delicious potted plants in the office.
