I’m a gardening guru – here’s the 96p ‘miracle’ product that’ll help dying houseplants come back to life
HANDS up if you’re guilty of killing your new plants…
Well, that could soon be a problem of the past thanks to a gardening whizz who has shared his genius 96p trick which he claims will help to bring them back to life.
And the best part of all?
You’ll already have the “miracle” product in your kitchen cupboards…
In a clip shared to TikTok, Armen Adamjam (@creative_explained) explained how oatmeal is a great fertilising hack for plants due to its nutritional value.
“If the plants in your house seem to be dying or wilting, and you just want to perk them up and get them to be vibrant again, the solution is oatmeal,” he explains.
“Oatmeal has so many nutrients, especially phosphorus and iron, which the plants need to flourish.”
He then goes on to show how it works and says that all you need to do is simply “add two tablespoons of oatmeal around the soil on your plants.”

Armen continues: “Do this once a month and watch your plants come back to life.
“Everybody knows how super healthy oatmeal is for humans, so why not plants.”
He captioned the post: “Bring Houseplants To Life.”
Along with its great nutritional value, oatmeal can also help to deter pests including caterpillars and moths – although it’s applied differently to soil when used as a bug-deterrent.
The video has since gone viral, garnering thousands of views and and several comments from very impressed green-fingered social media users.
