What kind of soil is red jade soil?

Red feather soil is the soil accumulated by volcanic ash.

Ruby soil is formed by volcanic ash accumulation and is the most widely used soil medium. This is also the most widely used cultivation medium in Japan. It is a highly permeable volcanic mud with dark red round particles; There are no harmful bacteria, and the pH value is slightly acidic. Its shape is conducive to water storage and drainage. Generally, the percentage mixed with other substances is 30-35%, which is higher than peat and the effect is equivalent to peat.

Japan is rich in substrate resources for horticultural cultivation, especially volcanic lava. Due to frequent volcanic activities, Japan enjoys abundant volcanic resources; Volcanic ash, volcanic rocks and pumice left over from ancient volcanic eruptions are piled up near the volcano. Using this unique resource, Japan has developed a wealth of horticultural substrate products, among which ruby soil and deer marsh soil are two representative substrates.

Matters needing attention in the use of ruby soil

1, soaking time: before using ruby soil, it needs to be soaked. Under normal circumstances, the soaking time is about ten minutes, so that the ruby soil can fully absorb water to improve its water retention performance.

2. Mixed use: Ruby soil can be mixed with other soil media (such as garden soil and humus soil) to improve the permeability and hydrophobicity of soil. Pay attention to keep the acid-base balance of the soil when mixing to ensure the normal growth of plants.

3. Avoid exposure to the sun for a long time: avoid exposure to the sun for a long time during the use of ruby soil, so as to avoid its rapid evaporation of water and affect plant growth.

4. Regular inspection and replacement: Redjade soil may be powdered and hardened after being used for a period of time, so it needs to be inspected regularly and replaced with new Redjade soil according to the situation.
