meaty ? Only by meeting the "3 points" and nourishing the root system can the condition be better!
Soil is the basis for plant growth. Most plants and flowers need soil to maintain their growth. In the plant world, only a few plants do not need soil to grow. For example, Phalaenopsis , and the flowers and green plants we raise in our homes, all need soil for cultivation, especially the succulents that have been very popular on the market in recent years.
Succulents are divided into different subjects and different types, among them. The most sold sedum on the market is Sedum succulent. The only factor in the maintenance method of Sedum succulent is light. As long as it can meet the lighting requirements, Sedum succulent has the lowest soil requirements. It can be planted with coal, soil, granular soil, river sand.
The soil used to grow succulents is also divided into good and bad. High-quality soil is inevitably more expensive. Expensive soil also has many benefits when used. For example, the soil is loose, breathable and rich in nutrients. The content of pathogens and bacteria in the soil is very low, and there are no grass seeds. Planting succulents is very comfortable and will not cause too much trouble.
Our country also uses imported coal soil for the cultivation of succulent plants. Peat soil is a non-renewable resource and can only be imported from abroad. The soil came to our country across the ocean and was then used by the majority of succulent greenhouse bloggers to propagate succulent leaf cuttings.
Most succulents are also cultivated using peat soil. The current average price of peat soil on the market is about 2 to 3 yuan per pound, which is not very expensive.
So how should we prepare soil for planting succulents?
Growing succulents with soil is not too troublesome. There are many ways to mix soil, which are determined according to personal maintenance habits. The common matching ratio on the market is to use peat soil with perlite . There are many different ways to mix soil. In short, one principle must be maintained, that is, the flower soil should be loose and breathable enough to avoid accumulation of water.
Good flower soil needs to meet the following three conditions:
. Loose and breathable
For sparseness There are no accurate standards for the two conditions of looseness and breathability. We can only use imported peat soil as a benchmark. For example, high-quality peat soil is divided into different sizes. The looseness of the soil is the best. If the economic conditions are sufficient, choose as much as possible. Imported peat soil, peat soil itself is loose enough and breathable enough.
Secondly, regarding the looseness of the soil, we can add particles to increase the looseness of the flower soil. There are many kinds of particles, such as medical stone, volcanic rock, which are all hard particles. They are mixed in peat soil in different proportions. The particles can provide good permeability and increase the drainage effect of the flower soil. The specific matching ratio is determined according to personal habits.
. Rich in nutrients
When planting succulents, the flower soil must contain nutrients, and the plants must grow. Yes, it is also necessary to absorb trace elements to increase resistance . Many friends like to use pure particles to grow succulents. It does not mean that it is not possible, but the particles do not contain nutrients. The succulents grown will grow very slowly and have poor resistance. They will easily turn to water and die in summer and winter.
Using granules to grow succulents is a completely opportunistic way. In the short term, there will be no problem with the succulents. However, as time goes by, the succulents will not be able to absorb nutrients and their resistance will become worse and worse. They are not as resistant as peat-grown succulents. If everyone uses granules to grow succulents, then greenhouse owners will not need to spend high prices to buy imported peat soil. They can still grow succulents using local river sand particles.
. Does not contain germs, insect eggs, grass seeds
is also based on imported peat soil as the standard. Imported soil basically has no Germs and bacteria, the soil has been sterilized by high temperature when entering the customs. The quality of the flower soil itself is very high, and the soil does not contain any insect eggs or grass seeds. However, the soil we sometimes buy in the market for growing succulents will grow weeds in a few days. This is inferior soil. If you cannot distinguish the quality of the soil, you will easily suffer losses.
It is best to buy flower soil directly from the finished product. When you buy it, mix it according to the proportion. Don't buy the soil that the merchant directly mixes for you. You must learn to mix the soil yourself. It is nothing more than using peat soil with granules or perlite. The method of mixing soil is very simple, and it will come naturally if you practice it more.
Match the soil suitable for the growth of succulent plants, and the succulent roots will grow and spread faster. As long as the roots are strong and succulent, it will be natural and easy to get out of shape. Of course, the soil is only a basic condition, and it also needs to meet the light.
