No need to repot when the soil is compacted - one trick makes the potting soil loose and fertile, and the flowers grow vigorously

When many people grow flowers for a long time, the soil becomes compacted. In this situation, most people choose to repot and change the soil. But repotting and changing the soil is extremely unfavorable for some flowers, because after repotting, the plant needs a long period of time to recover to its original state, and if it is not done well, it is also easy to injure it, or even cause it to dry up. So today, the editor brings you a little trick to change the soil, easily solving the problem of compacted soil when growing flowers.

First, let us look at the causes of soil compaction. Soil compaction is mostly due to poor soil choice; loess, red soil, garden soil and the like become harder and harder after being watered again and again. Long-term use of tap water, rice-washing water and other water for watering flowers, and the use of quick-acting chemical fertilizers to fertilize flowers, will gradually make the soil hard and compacted. This is because tap water contains calcium ions and magnesium ions and is hard water, and rice-washing water contains substances such as starch, which easily cause soil compaction. Long-term use of flower fertilizer can destroy the granular structure of the soil layer and make it hard. Therefore, when growing flowers, in addition to choosing granular humus soil, it is best to water with soft water, such as river water and rainwater; tap water can also be left to stand for a period before use. For fertilizing, use farmyard organic fertilizer as much as possible and apply less chemical fertilizer.

After knowing the causes of soil compaction, we should try our best to overcome these problems. Once the potting soil is compacted, do not rush to repot. First loosen the soil on the surface of the pot with a tool, then sprinkle a layer of probiotic biological organic fertilizer sheep manure on the surface, and water after sprinkling. Sprinkling sheep manure can loosen the soil, improve the natural granular structure, and prevent compaction. It has a particularly obvious effect on improving saline-alkali land and heavy clay. It prevents soil degradation and desertification; it has comprehensive effects such as adsorption, chelation, complexation, oxidation-reduction, ion exchange, and improving soil microbial and soil enzyme activity.

This method is simple and easy to carry out, and the effect is remarkable. Flower friends who grow orchids and Dendrobium officinale know that sheep manure is a rare good fertilizer. Sheep manure not only has a fertilizing effect but also better improves the soil quality, loosens the soil, and retains water and fertilizer, and it suits various flowers and other plants. It is worth a try. (It is sold in the market.)
