Why are matches needed in flower pots
With the help of matches you can quickly and effortlessly get rid of midges.
You just need to take a few matches and insert them into the soil, heads down, at a distance of about 5 cm from the edge of the pot.
After three weeks, we take out the matches and check the soil for sulfur. If there is none left, we insert a new batch of matches.
Matches should be inserted into the soil until the sulfur stops disappearing from them.
