There is a trick to plant trees in the desert. A glass bottle filled with water can plant a living tree with high efficiency and high survival rate.

An abandoned glass bottle is filled with water. Put the stem of the sapling to be planted in it and bury it in the sand. The depth requires that the bottle be completely buried. At the same time, cover the stem of the sapling with a height of about 2 cm above the bottle mouth, step on it and water it. This sapling has a high chance of surviving, rooting and growing up in the desert.

Actually, I have the same question as many people when I see this: The root of the sapling was put into a glass bottle. How did the root get into the sandy soil? Because the root was blocked by the glass bottle, how did it get out? After the water in the glass bottle was exhausted, the root of the sapling could no longer absorb the water and nutrition in the surrounding sand, so it withered and died.

The wisdom of the working people is infinite, which is the summary and innovation of life experience in long-term practice, so there is no need to worry. First, glass bottles are usually slender beer bottles, with a water capacity of about 5ml, which is just enough to support the seedlings for about 4-6 days to ensure that the seedlings will not wither, and the part of the stems buried in sand will continue to grow new roots before the water in the bottles runs out. Secondly, after the water in the bottle is exhausted, the new root system of the stem has basically grown into a shape, which can replace the original root system in the bottle and continue to make the seedlings grow. The new root system becomes the main root, and that part of the root in the bottle is slowly eliminated and dried up.

This is a very efficient method for afforestation in the desert, because water resources in the desert are scarce, hot and dry. If we use the traditional method of digging holes, burying and watering saplings, the poured water will soon flow to the deep layer or evaporation point, and how much water will it take to plant a living tree! Where does the water come from? How much labor and maintenance costs!

desert plants are generally Junjun tree, Salix psammophila, Caragana korshinskii and Hippophae rhamnoides. They have a common feature of drought resistance, well-developed root system, easy rooting, vigorous vitality and strong adaptability, and their crowns are shrubby and scattered.

Reuse discarded glass bottles, select plants suitable for desert survival, and plant trees by burying them with water to prevent and control desertification, with high survival rate. The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the cool, sheltering from generations, and making contributions to the future.
