What soil is best for growing Aglaia odorata? I'll teach you the correct soil mixing method

Flowers & Gardening 0 views
Aglaia odorata does not have high soil requirements; slightly acidic soil rich in leaf mold is best. In northern regions you need to mix it yourself. You can mix humus soil, sand and garden soil together, or mix peat and sand. Besides that, you can also mix garden soil, compost soil and sand.

1. Acidity and alkalinity

The soil this plant needs is acidic. The soil in the south is itself on the acidic side, so the requirements there are more relaxed than in the north. But the soil in the north is on the alkaline side, and using this kind of soil to grow it can easily cause its death, so in the north you still need to find a specific soil, and after mixing it you can water it once a month with alum water, which can control its acidity and alkalinity.

2. Mixing

We cannot use garden soil directly to grow it. You can consider a certain mixing method, for example mixing humus soil, sand and garden soil together, or mixing peat and sand together. Besides that, you can also mix garden soil, compost soil and sand. In addition, we can also go into the mountains and forests to find some old soil to grow it. We should know that plants have different soil requirements, which also means the formula can be changed and can be freely combined. Just make sure it is full of nutrients.

3. Earthworms

Many people think that putting earthworms into the soil is good for plants, but in fact this depends on whether the plant is in the ground or in a pot. A pot itself has only limited space. If you put earthworms in, they will move around inside, the plant's roots and the soil will not stay together, the roots' absorption will be affected, and the plant will also be unhealthy.
