What kind of flowers are suitable for pine needles and how to make them?

There are four ways to reproduce the stars. One is the branch cutting method, which intercepts strong branches, dries the wounds and inserts them into the matrix. Later, sprinkle water frequently to moisturize, and it will take root in more than half a month. The second is the beheading method, which cuts a part from the top of the leggy plant, dries it and inserts it into the matrix. The third is the division method, which separates the small plants with roots from the base of the mother plant and plants them separately after disinfection. Fourth, the leaf cutting method, break off the strong leaves, dry the wound and put it directly on the surface of the substrate.

1. Collecting pine needles: Every year, there are a lot of pine needles piled up under the pine forest. We find a super-large plastic bag to sweep all the fallen pine needles home as the raw material for retting the pine needle soil.

2. Add soil to pile and retting: Find a plastic bucket with a lid, fill a layer of garden soil at the bottom of the bucket, lay a layer of pine needles, fill another layer of garden soil, lay a layer of pine needles until the bucket is full, ensure that the top layer is soil, water the soil to wet it, and put the lid on a place where the temperature is high.

3. Judging the maturity: The pine needle soil ferments the fastest under the condition of high temperature. It can be decomposed in three months in summer and almost half a year in winter. You can observe the pine needles in the soil. If they are almost rotten and become dark fine soil, it shows that they are well decomposed.

4. Insolation and disinfection: Before planting flowers, the retted pine needle soil should be exposed to the hot sun for three days, during which the soil should be often turned over to eliminate the insect eggs and pathogens, and then mixed with other substrates for use.
