What kind of soil does Daphne use in Phnom Penh?

1. Specific requirements

(1) the first requirement is, of course, that the plant is rich in nutrients. After all, the plant mainly draws nutrients from the flower soil, especially when it is growing very fast and when it is blooming, so special attention must be paid to this point.

(2) the second requirement is loose soil, which is required by most plants.

(3) taking into account the habits of this plant, it likes the slightly acidic flower soil, so we also have to consider the acidity and basicity of the flower soil, too alkaline is of course not good.

(4) in addition, it is about the air permeability of flower soil and the demand of drainage. Especially drainage, because this plant has fleshy roots, so it is not resistant to waterlogging. If the drainage is not good, once the water is too much, it is very likely to have rotten roots.

2. Specific selection of flower soil.

In view of the above requirements, we can mainly choose rotten leaf soil. However, only this kind of soil is not enough, but also need to be mixed with garden soil and sandy soil. The approximate ratio should be controlled at 4: 4: 2. Of course, in order to provide enough nutrients for the plants and to reduce the burden of artificial fertilization later, we can add a little more base fertilizer to the cultivated soil to ensure the supply of nutrients.

3. Points for attention

After selecting the soil, it is best not to use it immediately, but to bask in the strong light for a while, so that harmful bacteria and other microorganisms can be removed.
