A GARDENING pro shared his tip on how to bring dead plants back to life using items that you may already have in your pantry.
Armen Adamjan from Creative Explained has over 4.7million followers on his TikTok where he describes hacks for gardening, cooking and cleaning.
One of his most popular videos explains how a dying plant can be revived with a simple solution.
“The main reason why your plants are turning brown is because the roots are rotting,” said Adamjan, showing one of his own plants whose leaves have turned brown.
“Caused by fungi that eating at the root and pretty much suffocating your plant.”
To solve this issue, Adamjan suggests using hydrogen peroxide, which he claims has more uses other than cleaning “cuts and burns and whitening teeth.”

Adamjan also posted a viral gardening hack that allows you to water your plants while you're away.
For this DIY hack, all you need is a water bottle, scissors, a Q-tip, tape, and chopsticks.
First, poke a hole in the lid of your water bottle, just large enough to fit the Q-tip in.
Next, tape the chopstick to the side of the bottle so that you can secure the bottle just above the soil.
Remove the lid and fill the bottle with water.
Replacing the lid, turn the bottle upside down and stick the chopstick end into the soil of your plant.
The water should begin dripping slowly, down the Q-tip and onto the soil.
