Preparing materials Before making flower potted soil, we need to prepare the following materials: 1. Garden soil: As the main component of the soil, garden soil should be of a type with fine texture and good drainage.
2. Limus soil: Limus soil is rich in organic matter, which can improve soil fertility.
3. Perlite or vermiculite: Increase the permeability and drainage of the soil.
4. River sand or coarse sand: used to regulate soil drainage.
5. Organic fertilizers: such as chicken manure, cow dung, etc., can provide the nutrients needed for plant growth. Production step 1. Mixing garden soil and leaf soil: Mix garden soil and leaf soil in a ratio of 1:1 and stir well.
2. Add perlite or vermiculite: Add perlite or vermiculite to the mixed soil at a ratio of 1/3 of the total soil, which can improve the breathability and drainage of the soil.
3. Add river sand or coarse sand: Continue to add river sand or coarse sand, the proportion is 1/4 of the total soil. The addition of river sand or coarse sand can further improve the drainage of the soil.
4. Fertilization: Add appropriate amount of organic fertilizer to the soil and stir evenly.
5. Fine adjustment: Sift the soil to remove impurities and larger particles to make the soil more delicate. Practical tips 1. Towing soil in a timely manner: Regular turning soil can improve soil ventilation and drainage and promote plant root growth.
2. Controlled fertilization: Excessive fertilization will lead to the accumulation of soil salt and affect plant growth. Appropriate fertilization should be carried out according to the needs of plants.
3. Watering at the right time: Keep the soil moist, but avoid standing water. Too much water will lead to hypoxia in the soil and affect the respiration of plant roots.
