What kind of soil to use for growing flowers
Do you know these? Here are some common experiences and tips on what soil to use for growing flowers. Let's follow the editor to check out the details!
Based on the author's experience, there are usually several types of soil that flower enthusiasts use: soil from parks, soil from the sides of roads, soil from other wild areas, buying ordinary nutrient-rich soil, purchasing soil according to the needs of the plant, and mixing soil on their own.
Among these sources of soil, digging soil from the outside is convenient, free, saves time and effort, but using this soil often increases the risk of flower death, the flowers may not grow as well as others, and it is prone to pest infestation. The photo below shows the滴水观音 (Dī shuǐ guān yīn) that was dug from the outside. After a year of repotting, the soil was compacted and there were pests inside.
The nutrient-rich soil purchased has good breathability, neutral pH, suitable for most plants, and has a certain base fertilizer effect. However, it is very expensive for ordinary flower enthusiasts. The author repotted the滴水观音 and found that one bag of nutrient-rich soil was not enough, increasing the cost of cultivation. Therefore, the author switched to a self-mixed method, mixing the dug soil with nutrient-rich soil in a 3:7 ratio. The ratio can be adjusted according to the actual situation, but the dug soil must be pest-proof and disinfected!
Since the nutrient-rich soil is relatively light, it is not very good at fixing large plants when planting. After mixing with field soil, the stability is enhanced.
