You don't need to buy nutrient soil - add these 3 things to the bottom of the pot and you can grow any flower

Anyone who grows flowers knows that nutrient soil plays a very important role. Only when the soil is loose and fertile will the roots of the flowers grow strong, and then the leaves and flowers will grow better and better. Nowadays, more and more people are growing flowers. Although some flower-growing knowledge can be picked up without study, growing flowers is, after all, a field of knowledge, so it is still best to take it seriously.

As for nutrient soil, very few people buy it anymore; instead, they choose to mix it themselves. Mixing nutrient soil also involves a lot of know-how. For example, using the following "3 kinds" of things and placing them at the bottom of the flower pot is truly more effective than anything, and any flower can be grown vigorously.

1. Put pine needles at the bottom of the pot

The potting soil for growing flowers must be loose and fertile so that it benefits root growth. The role of pine needles is to provide air permeability, insulation and drainage. In particular, the loose, breathable function of pine needles is really wonderful for growing flowers. Whether it is leaf mold or ordinary garden soil, as long as this stuff is placed underneath, the potting soil will not become compacted. After all, once the potting soil becomes compacted, it will cause root rot.

2. Put coal cinders at the bottom of the pot

I often saw coal cinders when I was a child. My family was in the countryside, and in winter we always burned a stove. There was often nowhere to put the coal cinders, so they were just thrown away. Looking at it now, this stuff is a treasure for growing flowers. That is because the looseness and air permeability of coal cinders are also unmatched. In addition, coal cinders also have a certain insulating effect. Especially in winter, quite a few plants and flowers cannot stand low temperatures, and that is where coal cinders come into play.

3. Put charcoal at the bottom of the pot

Putting a bit of charcoal at the bottom of the pot serves two purposes: one is insulation, and the other is sterilization and disinfection. If the potting soil is not changed for a long time, it will easily breed some microorganisms and bacteria, which is not good for the growth of flowers. The roots will often have small insects, and over time this will cause root rot; after root rot, the nutrients in the potting soil cannot be absorbed. Then the flowers will naturally have yellow leaves and withered branches. Charcoal is also very common in daily life. When you have time, stock up some, and use it when you repot and change the soil for your flowers.

The above are some small tips for growing flowers. In the future, when repotting and changing the soil, be sure to remember to use them. In addition, at the bottom of the flower pot, you can also bury a bit of barnyard manure, decomposed soybeans, etc., so that you will not need to fertilize for a long time.

In growing flowers, no matter how many tricks there are, in the end you still have to "tend them with care." Lazy people cannot keep flowers alive; only with careful tending can flowers and plants grow well. That is all for sharing knowledge about flowers for now.
