In autumn, flower-growing treasures are everywhere; pick up a little during the holidays, and every pot you plant will thrive.

As people's living standards and living conditions improve, more and more people like to keep some plants and flowers at home, which can not only purify the air, but also decorate the room, making the home cozier and healthier.

When you keep more plants and flowers at home, you naturally have to spend more energy caring for them. In daily care, you need to water, fertilize, loosen the soil, and repot and change the soil. It is now the cool autumn season, and it is also the time to repot and change the soil for many plants and flowers, so naturally you need to prepare some loose, breathable, and fertile soil. Today I will share with you 3 very common flower-growing materials in autumn. When you go out during the holidays, just bring a plastic bag, pick some up, and you can mix them into flower-growing soil. Use it to grow flowers, and every pot you plant will thrive.

Leaf mold

Friends who grow flowers all know that leaf mold is a very good soil for growing flowers. Using it to grow flowers not only has water-permeable and breathable effects, but also contains very rich nutrients.

So when you go out on holiday and see soil made of naturally fermented and rotted leaves under large trees, you can dig some back to grow flowers, and the effect is very good. Especially when growing orchids and clivia, using this kind of leaf mold is not only convenient, but also has very good fertilizer efficiency. It is worth noting that this kind of leaf mold generally contains insects, so after picking it back, it is best to expose it to the sun for a day before using it to grow flowers; then it is a very safe soil for growing flowers.

Pine cones

Autumn is the season when pine cones mature. Of course, in some places, dry pine cones from several years hang on the pine trees. You can pick some dry pine cones back, cut them into pieces, put them in a bag, and let them fully ferment. They are a very good flower-growing material for growing flowers.

Pine cones are rich in elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and contain pine oil and rosin, which have bactericidal and disinfecting effects. Using them to grow flowers can not only provide rich nutrients, but also sterilize and disinfect, preventing root rot in plants.

Earthworm castings

Spring and summer are the peak periods of earthworm activity. They produce a large amount of earthworm castings on the ground. Earthworm castings are organic fertilizer produced after earthworms eat some dead wood and dry grass and then digest and decompose it. They are rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and 18 trace elements, and are the best organic fertilizer for growing flowers. So if you come across earthworm castings when you go out, you can bring them back, dry them, press them into powder, and bury them in flower pots, which can effectively promote plant growth.

These 3 flower-growing materials are very common, and the effect of using them to grow flowers is very good. They can not only ensure the soil is loose and breathable, but also contain rich nutrients. Especially in autumn, many flower lovers need to repot and change the soil for their clivia, Christmas cactus, orchids, spider plants, and pothos at home. You can prepare some of this soil. Using it to grow flowers is very simple, convenient, and efficient.
