What kind of soil is the latest fragrant snow orchid planted with?

Xiangxue orchid is a perennial bulbous herbaceous flower plant with emerald green leaves, lovely blossoms and rich fragrance. It is one of the most common flowering plants in family potted flowers. And you can use bulbs to propagate seedlings, just like growing garlic. But the soil must be chosen well. What about it?

As for the soil with which Xiangxue orchid is better to grow, we have to prepare it according to its growth habits, and we will prepare what kind of soil it likes and what it is suitable to grow in. According to its growth habits, we know that Xiangxue orchid prefers the soil environment with loose air permeability, strong water permeability and rich in humus.

It can be seen that Xiangxue orchid, like most flowers and plants, has basic requirements for soil. According to this idea, we only need to use general soil for it. However, in order to better promote its growth and meet its growth needs, we also need to prepare a more high-quality basin soil for it as far as possible.

First of all, on the basis of the general sandy soil, we can add some organic matter to it, which can provide it with more adequate nutrition. In the later maintenance process, it can get twice the result with half the effort, lighten the burden on our management and ensure that the plant can keep growing healthily.

Secondly, many flowers and plants are afraid of waterlogging, with the characteristics of water resistance, long-term stagnant water in the basin soil is easy to cause rotten roots. For Xiangxuelan, the same is true, which is why we need to use loose and breathable soil with good permeability and good drainage effect. Because once excessive watering, basin soil is not easy to hardening, the effect of drainage is good, you can easily discharge the excess water.

Thirdly, Xiangxue orchid has certain requirements for soil acidity and alkalinity, it prefers acidic culture soil, and its ph value had better be controlled between 6 and 7. However, the acidity of the soil should not be too high, otherwise it is not conducive to the normal growth of the plant, as long as the basin soil is slightly acidic to meet its requirements for soil quality.

Having said so much, what kind of soil are we going to prepare for Xiangxuelan? As we all know, there are many soil allocation schemes that can meet the same conditions, generally speaking, we choose a relatively simple soil allocation method, how convenient and how to match. If the family is planted in pots, the editor suggests that sandy loam soil and coconut bran soil should be mixed.

Of course, if it is not convenient for you to get coconut bran, we can also use peat soil and fine sand according to the proportion of 2:1, mix well and use. However, the simplest and easier way to obtain materials is to use garden soil and rotten leaf soil, and then mix some poultry manure as base fertilizer, so that the prepared soil can well meet the growth of Xiangxue orchid.
