There are many flower lovers who cannot raise flowers well. It is very likely that there is a problem with the soil matching. They are willing to spend money when buying flowers, but if they buy high-quality nutrient soil, they are reluctant to give up. They go to the roadside to dig some garden soil or vegetable garden soil, or buy some inferior nutrient soil, which will really greatly increase the difficulty of growing flowers.
In home gardening, it is really not recommended that flower lovers use ordinary garden soil to plant flowers. Even if some fine sand or coconut bran is added, the soil is completely unpermeable and loose enough, and the pot soil is easy to crack. If the soil becomes a piece and has not been watered for a long time, occasionally forget to water it, the soil will become hard and the water cannot penetrate. As soon as it waters, the water will flow away from the gap.
1. Pay attention to soil when growing flowers
When growing flowers, no matter what soil you use, you must ensure that the soil is loose and breathable. The soil does not need to have too much fertility. However, if the drainage and breathability are not good, the roots of the plant will definitely not be well raised, and the roots of the plant cannot breathe normally and cannot absorb nutrients and water normally. The plants must not grow well.
Usually, whether we use vegetable garden soil, leaf rot soil or compost soil to grow flowers, if we dig it out ourselves outdoors, it is recommended to spread it out and expose it to the sun for more than two or three days. The easiest way is to use boiling water to blanch it. High temperature can kill bacteria and insects, so that weed seeds can become inactive. However, be careful to use boiling water to disinfect the soil and avoid too much soil. If possible, you can directly decompose the excavated soil first, or you can directly add it to the compost.
If it is a high-quality nutrient soil purchased, some coarse particles can be added appropriately when using this indoor plant, including the common coarse coconut shells, perlite , etc.
2. Pot soil is very suitable for adding several substrates
1. Pine phosphorus
If you find it troublesome, you can buy some pine phosphorus of different sizes online or in the flower market. When growing flowers with garden soil, nutritional soil, vegetable garden soil or leaf rot soil, you can add 10% to 30% of pine scales to the pot soil.
2. Peanut shell
If you have peanut shells at home, or you can go to the township oil pressing factory to collect some peanut shells, it is also a good choice. You can also buy peanut shells directly online, which can be used to grow flowers when they are rotten or semi-decomposed. If it is not decayed, it can be used for ground planting and placing it on the bottom of the soil layer.
3.Sand
If there is a construction site next to it or someone builds a house, it is also a good choice to collect some river sand. River sand is easy to obtain. It is best to rinse the river sand several times with clean water to ensure that it is cleaned and then dried. You can use a sieve to sifte them into particles of different sizes. When matching pot soil, you can add about 10% to 30% to the soil. If you are planting other plants, you can add 5% to 15%.
4. Honeycomb cinder
If you can still collect the burned honeycomb cinder, it is also a very good flower-growing material. Pay attention to choosing those that have been burned completely, the color will turn brown and red. If it is still black, it proves that it has not burned thoroughly.
The burnt cinder can be broken, then rinsed with clean water and soaked for two or three days before growing flowers. Cyclone can also be made into different particle sizes. They can be mixed in the soil to increase breathability and drainage, and can be used for planting, for planting common succulents , potted green plants and ornamental flowers, etc.
