Many people complain that potted vegetables and flowers have poor growth, either thin or not blooming and bear fruit. The main problem is that there is too little potting soil, poor soil quality or not repotting for a long time, resulting in soil solidification, degradation of texture, incomplete nutrients, and decreasing soil organic matter, which seriously affects root growth, and even causes diseases, pests or death. Now we introduce a simple way to improve the soil without changing it.
. Apply decomposed cake fertilizer to the pot soil. Prepare the rice washing water in advance, put it into a bottle, add orange peel, grapefruit peel, orange peel, lemon peel, etc. to prevent the smell from appearing. Then seal it and ferment it in a sunny place for a week. Stir evenly in the ratio of 10 kg of cake fertilizer and add 2 kg of rice washing water, put it in a plastic bag and seal it, turn it once every 5-7 days apart. If it is too dry, add water until it has decomposed after the sweet and sour taste.
Sprinkle the rotten cake fertilizer into the surface of the flower pot and loosen the soil moderately. Try not to damage the root system. Then water it multiple times to keep the soil moist. You can gradually improve the topsoil, promote more developed root system, and thus promote the improvement of the soil in the entire pot.
You can also dig holes in the pot soil, pour the rotten cake fertilizer into it, and then water it, but be careful not to damage the root system of vegetables and flowers.
. Potted plants planted on the roof and courtyard can be applied to decomposed farm fertilizer. Decomposed farm manure includes poultry manure, compost, green manure, etc. During the dormant period and growth period of vegetables, the decomposed farm fertilizer can be scattered in the pot soil. After loosening the soil, mix evenly and watering it, so that the organic fertilizer can seep into the entire pot soil.
It should be noted that it is best not to buy chicken manure from large-scale chicken farms. These chicken manures contain a large amount of hormones and exceed the standard of heavy metals, which may affect the normal growth of vegetables and flowers, and will also lead to sub-standard quality and are harmful to the body.
3. Homemade various humus soils. humus soil includes various kitchen waste , fruit peels, melon seed shells, tea residues, etc., as well as leaves and peppers in the courtyard. Some can be made into nutrient solution, and some can be processed into nutrient soil. They can all be applied to flower pots to increase soil fertility, improve soil solidification and increase soil organic matter.
4. Purchase organic fertilizer. Fertilizers such as flower slow-release fertilizer , water-soluble fertilizer , organic bacteria fertilizers, etc. can be applied to the flower pot, which can increase the number of beneficial bacteria in the soil, increase the soil organic matter content , and continuously provide full-price nutrition.
5. Sand mixing improves. The pot soil of vegetable and flower planting for a long time has decreased soil texture and often coagulation occurs. Fine sand, honeycomb coal slag , etc. can be applied to improve it, increasing soil gap, which can promote the normal growth of the root system of vegetable and flower and reduce root rot.
6. Use expired beer to water flowers and vegetables. Add 50 kilograms of expired beer to a bottle of expired beer and pour it into the pot soil. Especially for vegetables and flowers that like acidic soil, the best effect is. The principle of using beer to improve soil is that beer contains a large amount of carbon dioxide , and carbon dioxide can enter the soil to fluffy the soil.
7. Adjust pH. Too high acidity and high alkalinity are not conducive to the growth of vegetable flowers. Flowers that like neutral and slightly alkaline soil will experience soil acidification after years of planting. A large amount of alkaline substances such as wood ash , fire manure, lime, etc. can be applied to maximize the pH and alkalinity, and organic fertilizer can also be applied to alleviate soil acidification.
If you plant vegetables and flowers that like acidic soil, the soil will be salinized. You can apply acidic fertilizers such as rotten apples to increase pH, or you can apply ferrous sulfate and other acidic properties. #Harvest China#
