Can moss be mixed into the soil to grow flowers?
A small tip for life: This article introduces which potted plants are suitable for moss and the related knowledge of whether moss can be mixed into the soil to grow flowers, with specific details as follows:
Recently, the Shandong region has been experiencing rain for three consecutive days, with a continuous drizzle. There hasn't been this much rainfall throughout the spring, and unexpectedly, the rainy season has arrived in summer. I love rainy days and find it more comfortable and settled to sleep to the sound of rain.
The flowers and plants at home can also get thoroughly soaked in the rain, and acidic rainwater is more beneficial for the growth of flowers.
If you like growing flowers, I recommend you also let your flowers get soaked in the rain. Rainwater can thoroughly soak the soil, which is much more effective than our usual watering. After a day of rain, the soil around the flowers becomes much looser, and on sunny days, the growth of the flowers will show visible changes.
Houses in the north are designed to face south, and the south-facing walls do not get any sunlight. After the rain, the corners on the south side are covered with moss, as moss growth requires temperature and humidity. After the rain clears up, the moss starts to grow and turns lush and green.
Moss cannot withstand sunlight exposure, so it grows in corners. It is often seen in the courtyard of rural homes in the north.
Unnoticed moss can also be transformed into exquisite盆景 (pén jǐng - potted landscape) after some care. As long as moss is not exposed to direct sunlight and not placed in low temperatures during winter, it stays lush and green throughout the year, which is very beautiful.
Moss can also serve as a covering material, laid on the surface of flowerpots. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but moss also has a moisturizing effect.
For some moisture-loving plants at home, you can dig some moss and lay it on the surface of the flowerpot. Spray water every three to five days. Moss can live for a long time; I've used moss to cover the surface of several pots of Yun Zhu (a type of bamboo). First, a layer of aquatic moss is laid on the surface, followed by the moss on top. Yun Zhu likes moisture, and both can survive.
There are many types of moss, and they grow long spore stalks. They can reproduce through spores. Currently, the most common use for moss is in rainforest aquariums. Placing a rainforest aquarium at home instantly elevates the ambiance.
The care for moss is simple. Find a deep plate or a flowerpot. Remember, you cannot use soil to grow moss; you need to use ceramic stones or coarse sand.
Soil accumulates water easily, and moss is afraid of waterlogging. Large particle ceramic stones are the best. Place the ceramic stones at the bottom of the flowerpot, and then you can put the moss on top.
【Summary】
Moss can be mixed into the soil to grow flowers. Moss soil is suitable for flowers that prefer acidic soil, such as bougainvillea. Since moss soil contains acidic substances, it is the best choice for flowers that prefer acidic soil.
However, if you mix moss into the soil, it is best to compost it for a while. Adding it directly to the soil can easily cause the flowers to rot, especially for succulents, which can easily cause excessive heat and lead to root rot.
