1. The first step is to cover the bottom of basin soil with a layer of coarser cinder, which can effectively block the excess water at the bottom.

2. Before soil loading, the potted soil must be filtered and screened to remove some soil with larger particles, and then put it into the flowerpot, covered with a thin layer of fine sand, which can be gently shaken and shaken, so as to make the soil closer.

III. do a good job in disinfection

1. The pot soil needs to be disinfected before sowing. It is recommended to use potassium permanganate. The concentration can be determined by the color. It is best to present transparent red color. If it is too thick, the seeds will be burnt out. If it is too thin, it will not disinfect.

2. It can be soaked in the adjusted disinfectant solution together with the flowerpot, so that the soil can fully absorb potassium permanganate. After the surface soil is wet, it can be taken out. Drain the excess water, put it for two to four hours, and then it can be seeded.
