But in addition to old things or packaging, we also tend to throw away food waste that we could reuse. And a good example is the case that we bring you today: the pit of an exotic fruit with an attractive aroma that everyone throws away, but that can be transformed into a plant to decorate your home.
The lychee bone
Lychee is a fruit native to Southeast Asia that behind its rough shell hides a juicy pulp that could resemble and has a sweet to sour flavor.
And although his bone usually ends up in the trash, the truth is that we could plant it to grow this species in a pot to achieve germination and have a different plant ideal to give a natural and exotic touch to our home.
Is it is very possible that the plant does not bear fruitsince it may not find the climatic conditions it needs for lychees to grow, but even so, the plant will allow us to decorate the house in a different way thanks to its bright green leaves.
Once the bone is planted, you will have to be patient: it will take between two and six weeks until the bone begins to take its first roots. In order for the plant to thrive, you will need to place the pot in a stable place with the always moist substrate (without getting it puddled).
It is important Locate the lychee tree in an area with high sun exposure, since the more light it receives throughout the day, the better. You must keep in mind that if the plant lives in the shade, or if you live in a cold climate, the plant will not produce fruit.
