Mix soil like this for your plants: loose, airy, and nutritious, no fertilizer for five years, no root rot for ten

Many gardening friends love flowers but do not know how to grow them, and cannot grow them well. Of course there are many reasons for this, but the main reason is that the soil was not mixed properly. Today, let's talk about the key points of mixing soil for home gardening

For home gardening, the soil mix must be loose and airy. As long as our soil is guaranteed to be loose and airy, no matter how you water it, the roots will not rot, and no matter how you water it, it will not fail to grow. Even if there are no nutrients in the potting soil and it is not fertile, and you do not fertilize, it will not rot or die; at most the plant will just grow slowly.

But if your soil is not loose and not airy, and it becomes compacted, then watering will easily cause waterlogging, and watering like this will easily cause root rot.

1. About everyday soil mixing, today I will tell you the detailed soil mixing method. What I generally use is this kind of peat soil

. This kind of peat soil is very soft; once you squeeze it in your hand, it directly falls apart. In essence, it is grass. Well-rotted grass. There are also rich nutrients here.

It can let plants absorb nutrients for several months to half a year. I often use it

2. Vermiculite,

The main role of vermiculite is water retention and water absorption. Many people generally use this kind of vermiculite to propagate plants from cuttings. After putting this stuff into water, it will absorb water and expand, swelling up very large. Its main role is to absorb water, and it also contains certain minerals.

3. Perlite,

The main role of perlite is drainage. But after one or two years of use, it will easily break down into powder. However, it contains many minerals and can still provide nutrients for plant growth.

No matter what kind of plant it is, generally these kinds of soil can be used to grow it. The ratio can be prepared according to peat soil, perlite, and vermiculite at 4:1:1, and there will basically be no problem with growing flowers.

Of course, we can also use the materials we have on hand to mix soil. Peat soil can be replaced by leaf mold made from rotten tree leaves dug up in the woods, and the effect is also very good. Prepared according to a ratio of leaf mold to river sand of 4:1, it is also very good.

This kind of soil mix is loose and airy. After watering, it will basically dry out in one day, and there will be no water accumulation or root rot. If you do not want to water often, you can mix in one part of garden soil. Garden soil retains water and can reduce the frequency of watering.

We can also ferment peanut shells, Chinese medicine dregs, and so on to make our own nutrient soil. They are all very loose and airy.

Having said this, do you all know how to mix soil for growing flowers?
