In fact, if there is no mistake in the general maintenance method, it is generally that the soil is hardened. In fact, the problem of soil hardening is quite common in the cultivation of flowers. Once hardening occurs, remember never to shovel or water a lot with a shovel. These problems can't be solved at all. Then how to do it? Flowers will tell you.
Why can't we shovel with a shovel? Once the soil hardens, it means that the root of the flower plant has been bonded with the soil. If we shovel with a shovel at this time, it's easy to shovel to the flower root of the plant. If the flower root of the plant is damaged, then it's very difficult to remedy. So remember, don't shovel when you find the soil in the flowerpot!
Why can't we pour a lot of water? At the beginning of soil hardening, we all think that the soil is dry and cracked due to lack of water, but in fact, if we water at this time, the harm will be greater. Because the hardening of the soil means that the shovel can't move any more. At this time, it's not only the flower root can't absorb, but also all the nutrients before will be lost with the flow of water. This is not a good way
If we encounter the problem of soil hardening, we should remember to change the basin. Before changing pots, remember never to water or fertilize, we need to move the pots to a cool and ventilated place for a day or two, and then choose a cooler weather to change pots, such as early morning and evening is a good choice.
When we change pots, we first use a small shovel to gently shovel a circle along the edge of the pot, then turn the pot upside down and gently tap the bottom of the pot, so that the soil will be directly separated from the pot. Finally, we use tools to separate the soil and flower roots, and then transfer the basin. If the flower root is found to be rotten, remember to trim it first and then soak it in disinfectant solution.
In fact, if we want to really avoid the problems caused by soil hardening in flowerpots, we need to prevent this phenomenon and find out what causes the hardening. There are generally two reasons for soil hardening. The first is that the soil has not been changed into flowerpots for a long time, which leads to the gradual lack of nutrients in the soil, and then it will condense into blocks. The second is that we overuse chemical fertilizer when we raise flowers, and eventually overnutrition will also lead to soil hardening.
