Dear flower friends, have you also encountered this kind of trouble: the soil of the flowers and plants at home suddenly becomes hard, like a big stone, and the roots are about to suffocate! Don't worry, I'll teach you a few tricks today to easily solve the problem of soil hardening and give your flowers and plants a new life! 1. The reason for soil hardening
Soil hardening is actually the soil becoming hard, like a big stone. This is mainly due to the following reasons: 1. Improper watering: Too much or too little watering will cause soil hardening. Too much watering will push out air in the soil and form hard lumps; too little watering will dry the soil and form a hard shell.
2. Improper fertilization: Long-term use of chemical fertilizers without applying organic fertilizers will lead to a decrease in organic matter in the soil, damage to the soil structure, and thus hardening.
3. Poor soil quality: Some soil itself is sticky and easy to harden. 2. Methods to solve soil hardening
1. Soil replacement: If the soil is severely hardened, the best way is to replace the soil. Select loose and breathable soil, such as peat soil, humus soil, etc., add some organic fertilizers and coarse sand, and mix it as cultivation soil.
2. Loose soil: Gently insert a small shovel or fork into the soil to loosen the hardened soil blocks. Be careful not to damage the roots.
3. Application of organic fertilizer: Organic fertilizer can increase organic matter in the soil, improve soil structure, and prevent hardening. You can choose decomposed chicken manure, sheep manure, cake fertilizer, etc.
4. Use soil improvers: There are many soil improvers on the market, such as humic acid, alginic acid, etc., which can improve soil structure and prevent hardening. 5. Watering tips:
-see wet when it is dry: Don't let the soil stay wet all the time, and don't let the soil dry completely. Water should be watered thoroughly so that the water can fully penetrate into the soil.
- Avoid using tap water: Chlorine in tap water can damage soil structure and cause hardening. It is best to use dried water or rainwater.
6. Use beer water: Mix beer with 50 times water and pour it into flower pots to improve soil hardening and make the soil loose and breathable.
7. Using vermin manure water: Soak vermin manure in clear water, make vermin manure water and water flowers, which can improve soil hardening and provide nutrients. 3. Methods to prevent soil hardening 1. Choose the right soil: Choose loose and breathable soil, such as peat soil, legular soil, etc. 2. Reasonable fertilization: Apply organic fertilizer and avoid long-term use of chemical fertilizers.
3. Regularly loosen the soil: Use a small shovel or fork to gently insert it into the soil regularly to loosen the hardened soil blocks.
4. Reasonably watering: Follow the principle of "see wet when it is dry" and avoid watering too much or too little.
5. Use soil improvers: Use soil improvers regularly to improve soil structure.
6. Use organic fertilizers: Organic fertilizers can increase organic matter in the soil, improve soil structure, and prevent hardening.
Dear flower friends, soil hardening is not terrible. As long as we master the right method, we can easily solve it. Let us work together to revitalize the flowers and plants and add more green and beautiful things to our lives!
