Mages are individuals with supernatural powers. They can use their wisdom and strength to create many wondrous things. Among these, sand planting is a very magical ability. Mages can use sand to grow all kinds of trees, flowers, and plants, turning dry and barren land into a vibrant place. How do mages use sand for planting? The secrets will be revealed below.
Preparation
Before starting sand planting, thorough preparation is necessary. Mages need to select suitable sand and plant seeds, and prepare the necessary tools, such as shovels, buckets, watering cans, etc.
Selecting the Sand
When choosing sand, mages need to pay attention to the texture and color of the sand. Generally, sand with uniform and fine grains yields better results. Additionally, the color of the sand should be suitable for the plants being grown.
Choosing Suitable Plants
Depending on different environmental and climatic conditions, mages need to choose plants suitable for cultivation. For example, arid desert areas are suitable for growing plants like cacti and desert roses; while humid tropical regions are suitable for growing fruit trees like mangoes and bananas.
Preparing the Soil
To help plants grow better, mages also need to add some organic fertilizer and soil to the sand. This can increase the nutrient content of the sand and promote the growth and development of the plants.
Laying the Sand
Before starting sand planting, mages need to first lay a layer of sand about 5-10 cm thick in the area to be planted. When laying the sand, it should be compacted so that the seeds can better absorb water and nutrients when they take root and sprout.
Sowing Seeds
Evenly sprinkle the prepared seeds on the laid sand and gently press them down so that the seeds adhere better to the sand.
Watering
Pour clean water into a watering can and spray it evenly on the laid sand so that the seeds can quickly absorb sufficient water and nutrients. Be careful not to overwater, as it might wash the seeds away.
Protection
To prevent seeds from being disturbed by ants, birds, etc., mages can cover the laid sand with a protective net or materials like eggshells.
Timely Watering
After the seeds germinate, mages need to water the plants in a timely manner. Generally, water once in the morning and once in the evening to keep the soil moist and promote plant growth.
Weeding
After the plants grow larger, some weeds may grow around them. Mages need to clear these weeds in time to prevent them from affecting the growth and development of the plants.
Pruning
When the plants reach a certain size, mages need to prune them appropriately to make their shape more beautiful and to promote their growth, flowering, and fruiting.
Fertilizing
During the growth process of the plants, mages need to fertilize them in a timely manner to provide sufficient nutrients and promote their growth, flowering, and fruiting.
Pests and Diseases
During the growth process, plants may be attacked by various pests and diseases. Mages need to detect them in time and take measures for prevention and control to protect the health of the plants.
Harvesting Fruits and Flowers
When the plants reach a certain size and bear fruit or flower, mages can harvest the fruits and flowers to enjoy a delicious and beautiful visual and gustatory feast.
Through sand planting, mages can not only make the desolate desert areas full of life, but also create a beautiful and healthy garden in their own homes. As long as you pay attention to every step, believe that you too can become a successful sand planter.
