Use this kind of soil to raise flowers. It grows fast and does not rot. Its leaves are big and green!

For a long time, flowers at home have rotten roots and yellow leaves. Many flower friends think it's caused by too much water, but flowers think, why is it easy to rotten roots with too much water? It's not because the soil is impermeable. So, today Huahua is going to talk to you about the magic secrets hidden in the flower soil.

What are the types of soil

1. Garden soil

Source: most come from vegetable garden, roadside, field

Advantages: it has the characteristics of slight acid, water and fertilizer conservation.

Disadvantages: poor water permeability and air permeability, easy to cause hardening after a long time

2. Rotten leaf soil

Source: forest, bamboo forest, etc.

Advantages: rotten leaf soil is formed after long-term rotten fermentation of leaves, loose texture, good water and fertilizer conservation

Disadvantages: when collecting rotten soil, it will bring eggs and bacteria. When it is wet, it has poor water permeability and is easy to rot.

3. Loosen needle soil

Source: topsoil under pine, cypress, etc.

Advantages: weak acidity, sufficient nutrients, loose and breathable

Disadvantages: poor water retention

4. Peat soil

Source: fish pond, pond, river and lake bottom

Advantages: sufficient nutrients, soft and breathable, good water and fertilizer retention

Disadvantages: long time will cause soil hardening

5. Coconut Bran

Source: bought

Advantages: coconut bran is very strong in water permeability and air permeability. It can completely replace peat soil, and the price is much cheaper than peat soil.

Disadvantages: only use coconut bran to grow succulent, which is easy to cause the succulent root system to be weak and stiff.

Mix some of the soil with water and air to prevent rotten roots.

The soil introduced by flowers above has its own advantages and disadvantages. No one can raise flowers completely. There is no problem at all. Therefore, we need to mix something in the soil to make up for the shortcomings of the soil.

1. Add some sand to the soil

The permeability and drainage of sand is very good, and it is very clean and sanitary. It also contains trace elements such as iron and magnesium, which can be absorbed by flowers, so sand is a very good thing.

2. Add pine bark to the soil.

Pine bark has a very strong ability of absorbing water. It can keep water and avoid soil hardening when mixed with soil. If you are raising flowers with pine bark, you can stop adding perlite and vermiculite

3. Add some sawdust to the soil.

Sawdust is the most common thing in our daily life, especially when decorating at home, we can often see the residual sawdust. Sawdust is also a good thing to raise flowers. It has good water permeability and air permeability, but before use, it's better to rot first to avoid rotten roots.

4. Add perlite to the soil.

The water absorption of perlite can reach 2-3 times of its own. Its water permeability and air permeability are very good. After watering, it will slowly emerge on the surface of the soil. When the wind blows, it will go away, so perlite can also be mixed in the soil.

5. Add some ceramsite to the soil.

Ceramsite has big and small, the biggest characteristic is good permeability, generally will pad in the bottom of the pot, can also be mixed with the soil, or spread on the surface of the pot.
