The rotten leaf soil was disinfected, exposed to the sun, and mixed with bamboo charcoal as the transplanting soil. After watering, it will turn dark red, and then spread the red pine needle on the soil, transplant the snake plant into a new basin, and spread the stone after washing and drying, which can not only keep the humidity but also prevent the growth of insects. In this way, it is easier to grow leaves.

Prepare materials

Planting material

Korean pine needles, humus soil, stones picked up by the river, bamboo charcoal, gardening tools.

Little tricks

In order to grow leaves quickly after transplantation, every step in the process of transplantation is very important.

Disinfection of saprophytic soil

Planting material

Then the humus soil brought back from the wild will be a little dark red when exposed to the sun for half a day. Then add the bamboo charcoal powder and mix well. Bamboo charcoal should not have too many small bags. It can be disinfected, sterilized and insect resistant. This kind of soil will be very dark if it is watered with a little water, and the sufficient fertility will be conducive to the growth of the snake plant.

Wash the stone and reserve it.

Planting material

Wash and dry the collected ones with water for standby.

Red pine needle bottom

Planting material

At the bottom of the new flowerpot, put a thick layer of Korean pine needle pad to prevent rotten roots.

Planting material

With the above three materials, as long as snake plant is planted in a flowerpot, the stone can be paved on the surface. In this way, the humidity of the basin soil can be maintained and the insects can be prevented.
how to obtain materials

Pine needles and black earth

Pine needles and black soil must go to the pine forest to look for those pine needles and soil that have been rotten for many years. Because the fresh pine needles are more acidic, they are not suitable for flower cultivation. And the pine needles and soil which are rotten and ripe contain many kinds of nutrients, so they are suitable for keeping flowers.

Collection method

Only in late autumn and early winter can nature have pine needles, but not all places have big forests. So it's better to go to the flower and bird market to have a look if nature can't collect it. Some small shops still sell it!
