Do you talk to plants? How? Have you ever had a message from nature? A guide or a spirit? What form does it take?

Do you talk to plants?
Yes I do. For me, plants can be interpreted as a place to release the stress I go through, it is the same as pets and even plants can also calm me.

I am writing a post about planting purslane flowers in my mother's used cauldron. It started when a second-hand goods buyer came to my house to buy used items made of plastic and aluminum. My mother collected several leaky cauldrons that were no longer usable for cooking, and I asked her not to sell the cauldron and I would plant purslane flowers in the cauldron.

  • The Equipment I use
  • Drill to make holes in the pan
  • Branch Shears or Scissors
  • Soil as a planting medium
  • Purslane flower

I use 3 used pans that I will plant purslane flowers in.

I use this drill to make holes in the pot so that when I water the flowers, the water doesn't settle at the bottom of the pot, which causes the purslane roots to rot.

This is the first cauldron I have successfully drilled a hole in.

And this is the second cauldron I've finished drilling. This is actually my first time using an electric drill, I saw a tutorial on how to use it on YouTube.

After finishing drilling the cauldron, I went to where the purslane flowers were growing on the gravel in the garden next to my house. I took a picture of a small papaya tree that my mother planted next to the house.

The starfruit beside my house is very thick with fruit.

This is the purslane flower that I will take to plant in an old cauldron.

After taking the purslane flowers, I cut them into small pieces so that new roots can grow and become dense.

I filled the loose soil that had been mixed with organic fertilizer, namely duck manure, in a 1:1 ratio, then put the soil into the cauldron that I had made a hole in earlier.

And now I've finished planting purslane flowers in an old crock. I planted three colors of purslane flowers: yellow, pink, and a mix of white and pink.

I amazed how you gave as second life to your mother's old cauldron by planting colorful purslane flower or we call it magic rose.

I just felt sorry for those pots, which were being sold for a pittance. So I used them to plant purslane flowers.

Your idea of planting flowers or some seeds from broken things like a caldeoron is nice. It's still very useful even though it's broken.

I think it's better for me to use it like that rather than selling it to my mother at a very cheap price.

Your way of planting using old cauldrons with holes is really practical. I never thought it could be done that way, thanks for sharing and I will try that too...
