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.

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.

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.
