What kind of flowers are suitable for growing plant ash?

Plant ash is a traditional fertilizer source for growing crops, which is rich in calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus and other elements, which can provide sufficient nutrients for plants. Many people like to mix some in it when growing flowers, so what kind of flowers are suitable for growing plants?

What kind of flowers are suitable for growing plant ash?

Plant ash is suitable for raising flowers that do not like acid, such as wisteria, primrose, lilac, torch tree, acacia, oleander, forsythia and so on. Because plant ash is the ash left after the burning of herbs, it is rich in potassium, calcium, phosphorus and other elements, which is alkaline, which can not be used for plants that like acidic environment, which will make the soil alkaline.

Second, what are the advantages of growing flowers with plant ash?

1. Promote germination

After sowing flowers and plants, covering 1-2 cm with plant ash can effectively increase the temperature of the soil, keep the soil loose, promote seeds to germinate 7-10 days ahead of time, and make flowers and plants grow healthily and neatly.

2. Speed up rooting

In the process of transplanting, plant ash and organic fertilizer are fully mixed as base fertilizer, or 5-20% plant ash is mixed into nutritious soil, which can increase the absorbability of fertilizer, promote wound healing, and improve the survival rate of flowers and trees transplanting.

3. Disease prevention and insect control

Spraying 3-5% plant ash extract can also control aphids, red spiders and other pests.

4. Prevent leaves from falling

Spraying 8-15% plant ash extract in the growing season as extra-root fertilizer can improve leaf photosynthesis, prolong leaf growth period, promote beautiful flowers and leaves, and improve ornamental effect.

5. Prevent bleeding

Flowers and trees prone to bleeding, such as peaches, figs, grapes, etc., after pruning or changing pots, smear fresh plant ash to control bleeding, prevent wound infection and decay, and promote healing.

6. Enhance resistance

Transplanting flowers and trees in arid areas and continuously spraying 3-5% plant ash extract can improve the drought resistance of flowers and trees. Because plant ash contains a large number of free potassium ions, it can reduce the transpiration intensity of leaves, promote the operation of carbohydrates, and enhance the ability of drought resistance and high temperature resistance.

Generally speaking, plant ash is alkaline, suitable for raising flowers that do not like acidic environment, can effectively promote rooting, germination, prevention of diseases and insect pests, such as oleander, acacia, primrose and other flowers can be used.
