The most commonly used potting soil in home gardening, have you ever noticed it?

Nowadays, more and more people love home gardening, and owning their own small garden, not just outdoors, but indoors too.

The prerequisite for having a small garden is solving the "soil" problem. Use the wrong "soil", and the grass withers and the flowers fade; use the right "soil", and not only do you not have to worry about plants drowning from overwatering, but the flowers are vibrant and the grass is lush green.

Let's start learning about several of the most common "potting soils"!

1. Garden soil

Garden soil needs to be mixed with fine sand and leaf mold, so as to avoid garden soil being too sticky and to bring out good results.

2. Peat soil

Peat soil is rich in nutrients and has good water permeability and air permeability, and can be mixed with river sand and perlite.

3. Leaf mold

Leaf mold is fertile in nutrients, loose and permeable, with a pH value that leans slightly acidic. It is especially suitable for many flowering plants, and is also suitable for mixing with some garden soil and river sand.

4. Humus soil

Rich in organic matter, with relatively good drainage and water retention.

5. Sandy soil

Sandy soil has good drainage but poor water retention, so it needs to be mixed with humus soil, garden soil, etc.

6. Coco coir

Coco coir has good water retention and air permeability, and is suitable for mixing with perlite, vermiculite, etc.
