Add this to the water when watering flowers, and the potting soil will become looser and more fertile, and the flowers and plants will grow vigorously.

The weather is a bit cold now, and many flower growers think that when growing and watering flowers at this time, you should not water so frequently, right? Indeed, in late autumn and winter, when watering flowers, try to follow the principle of "do not water until dry." Unlike growing flowers in summer, there is no high temperature or exposure to the scorching sun, so the water in the flowerpot also evaporates less. Generally, watering once now can supply flowers with water for 4 or 5 days. However, in this case, a problem is also likely to appear, namely "the potting soil becoming compacted and hardened." In fact, this problem is very common, and almost all flower growers will encounter it. Next, let's share how we should solve it if the potting soil starts to become compacted, and even a shovel cannot dig through it.

The soil in the flowerpot becoming compacted is mainly due to the following 2 reasons.

Before sharing the solutions, let's first talk about the reasons for potting soil hardening. The first reason is usually applying too much fertilizer. Applying too much fertilizer can also cause the potting soil to stick together, especially for some flower growers who apply chemical fertilizer for a long time. As an inorganic fertilizer, chemical fertilizer is the most likely to make the soil form clumps. Therefore, when fertilizing flowers, it is best to use organic fertilizer, such as the common stable manure, decomposed soybean cake, and so on. The second reason is improper watering. This includes two aspects: watering too little, and the water used being unsuitable. Watering too little is easy to understand. And the water used being unsuitable refers to the water used for watering flowers, which everyone generally uses tap water for. Generally, tap water contains quite a lot of impurities and chlorine. Long-term use of tap water that has not been left standing also easily causes the potting soil to harden. It is recommended to leave tap water standing for one day, then take the upper layer of water before use.

When watering flowers, add "it" to the water, and the potting soil will become looser and more fertile, and whatever you grow will thrive.

Since this problem has appeared, as people who love growing flowers, we cannot just leave it unsolved, otherwise the flowers will soon rot at the roots, lack nutrients, and directly cause yellow leaves, leaf drop, or even death. The method to solve compacted potting soil is relatively simple. It is just that some flower growers do not know this trick. When watering flowers, add a little of "it" to the water, and it will soon become loose and breathable, and whatever flowers you grow will survive. And "it" is the common "beer" in daily life. Why can beer be mixed into flower-watering water? Can it really stop the potting soil from hardening and becoming compacted?

As everyone knows, beer contains a large amount of carbon dioxide, so after mixing beer into water and pouring it into the flowerpot, this water will react in the potting soil, and the carbon dioxide in it can play a role in breaking down clumped soil, making the potting soil gradually loosen. When using beer, just pay attention to the amount used below. You can use a mineral water bottle to mix it. Generally, two-thirds water plus one-third beer is fine. Besides making the potting soil loose, because beer contains quite a lot of nutrients such as maltose, it is also beneficial to the robust growth of flower roots. This method can be applied to most potted flowers, so be sure to try it.

Using this method to solve the problem of soil hardening in flowerpots, flower growers also do not need to keep using it for watering. As long as the potting soil no longer looks hardened, you can stop. Of course, for some flower varieties, using beer to grow flowers is also very good, such as the most common clivia. Giving clivia some beer every month is beneficial for flower stalk emergence and prolonging the flowering period. Okay, the above is the shared little trick for solving potting soil hardening.
