Want to plant some flowers and plants, how to configure nutritious soil at home?

Flower lovers who like to plant flowers and plants will be confused about how to allocate nutrient soil at the beginning, or they will be at a loss for fear that the wrong nutrient soil will affect the growth of flowers and plants.

Although the configuration of nutrient soil determines whether flowers and plants can grow and bloom normally, some plants like clay, and some plants grow in loose soil with good drainage, but there are also differences.

But I will never change my religious belief, understand the characteristics and preferences of flowers and plants, and choose suitable nutrient soil. I share some of my experience in land preparation for your reference.

Configuration of Common Nutritious Soils Common Nutritious Soils refer to plants that have no special requirements for soil and are not picky. Therefore, when configuring soil, as long as the soil is loose, breathable and permeable, the following media are generally used for configuration:

Humus soil: Dead leaves, fallen leaves and rotten leaves collected under trees are fermented to become fertile, loose and acidic humus soil, which is suitable for extensive planting and is a household necessity.

Garden soil: As the name implies, it refers to the soil in a vegetable garden or garden. When planting flowers and plants, it is necessary to expose to the sun, sterilize and kill insects. Beginners should pay attention to avoid red soil when collecting garden soil, which is easy to harden and is not conducive to the growth of potted plants.

Peat soil: it is the soil after plants wither, which is decomposed and dried. This kind of soil is rich in organic matter, has good water retention and is slightly acidic or acidic. It is also suitable for the growth of plants, especially bulbous plants.

River sand: there are fine river sand and coarse river sand, and the thickness is selected according to the root system of planting plants. River sand does not contain any nutrients. The purpose of mixing river sand into soil is to increase water permeability and air permeability. River sand is neutral and will not "interfere" with the properties of soil.

Vermiculite: It has strong air permeability, water absorption and water retention, and is suitable for cutting. Mixing vermiculite into soil will affect the drainage and permeability of basin soil for a long time, so after mixing vermiculite into soil, the basin soil should be replaced in time every year.

Perlite: It is an expansive light aluminum-silicon compound, which is economical and practical. When mixed into soil, it can increase air permeability, drainage and moisture retention. The disadvantage is that the ability to keep fertilizer is very poor, and because of its light texture, it is easy to float or be blown away by the wind after watering.

If conditions permit, you can also make your own culture soil, that is, garden soil mixed with leaves and broken branches, and then add a proper amount of livestock manure to pile it up for fermentation. After decomposition, it will be fertile and loose soil, suitable for planting most flowers and plants.

Usually when we plant flowers and plants, we will use humus soil, garden soil and river sand or humus soil, garden soil and perlite to configure the soil. Of course, we can also configure peat soil and vermiculite according to our own preferences.

If you want to prepare acidic soil, you can use humus soil, peat soil, river sand or perlite, which is fertile, loose and well drained, and there is no pressure to plant azaleas and gardenias.

Most flowers and plants have no special requirements for soil (except plants that like acidic soil). Using these media to prepare nutrient soil is simple and convenient, and it is not easy to cause water accumulation and avoid root rot.

Granular nutrient soil (succulents) The planting soil of succulents should be loose, breathable and well drained, so granular nutrient soil is needed. Compared with the commonly used nutrient soil, the cost of preparing granular nutrient soil is higher, and it is generally used to grow succulents. The soil configuration of succulents can also be configured according to different types.

Generally, when planting succulents, garden soil, peat soil, river sand and perlite can be used for soil preparation, and the ratio is 1: 1. If you plant succulents with more capillary roots, you can only plant them with peat soil, river sand and perlite.

Plant succulent plants with succulent roots, and choose river sand, vermiculite, peat soil and perlite for planting. The river sand is slightly more, and vermiculite and peat soil are 1 serving respectively.

Of course, it can also be mixed with pure granular soil, such as peat soil 3 parts, ruby soil 3 parts, deer swamp soil 1 part, rice husk ash 1 part, or a little diatomite, green zeolite or volcanic rocks, which are all good planting soil.

If there are many succulents planted in Apricot family, it is suggested to prepare some coconut chaff, and mix garden soil, river sand and coconut chaff together when preparing soil, which is a good nutrient soil.

If the novice florist finds it too troublesome, it is simpler to use humus soil, river sand, perlite and peat soil to prepare the soil, which is loose and has good drainage, so don't worry about rotten roots.

The reason why bulbous plants are listed separately in the nutrient soil of bulbous plants is because I think its bulbous roots are fleshy. In the case of poor drainage and permeability of soil, not only the roots are easy to rot, but also the bulbs may rot, so the soil must be well drained.

When planting bulbous plants, humus soil, peat soil, perlite, vermiculite and river sand are commonly used substrates, and some granular substrates with good permeability, such as ruby soil and volcanic rocks, can also be prepared. According to your own preferences, the soil should be loose, well drained and breathable.

Take Zhu Dinghong as an example. I like to plant with rotten leaves, river sand and perlite. Of course, peat soil, vermiculite and river sand can also be selected for planting. Zhu Dinghong can grow very well.

Calla lily, gladiolus, begonia, lily, agastaches, day lilies, Lycoris radiata, etc. , can use peat soil, perlite and river sand at the ratio of 2: 1: 1, and there is no better soil.

When it comes to the soil where orchids are planted, many flower lovers feel cautious. A little carelessness will cause yellow leaves to rot, but it is not so delicate.

We usually use moss, water moss, pine bark, coconut shell and so on as the medium for planting Phalaenopsis. Planting soil should be provided, which is loose and breathable, and it is not easy to accumulate water and rot roots. I prefer to plant Phalaenopsis with water moss, which saves trouble and time.

Orchid planting medium, fermented bark, broken bricks, moss, or perlite, rotten pine needles, coconut shells, etc. There are also flower friends planted with mixed soil of bark, moss and river sand, and orchids grow well.

I have planted flowers and plants for many years. My personal standing medium is humus, river sand, perlite, vermiculite, coconut bran and peat soil. When planting, basically 3~4 kinds of media can be mixed together, which is also suitable for novice flower lovers.
