Raise succulent plants to use these three media to make the basin soil breathable and succulent without fear of rotting roots.

What soil to use for succulent farming is definitely a question worth studying for beginners, not how complicated the problem is, but that there are too many choices and do not know what to choose, and each kind of soil has its own characteristics. Flower friends can choose suitable soil according to the following and their own actual situation. There are many media formulations for succulent plants, mainly breathable and permeable. There is the most famous three-second principle, that is, when you water, the medium should completely infiltrate the water in three seconds and add particles in more than three seconds. Nearly half of my soil is made of particles and cinder.

Ceramsite, as the name implies, is ceramic particles, most of the early ceramsite is directly fired from shale, broken, sieved and irregular (mostly flaky). The recent emergence of spherical lightweight ceramsite, using clay (mainly composed of meta-aluminosilicate) as raw materials, adding appropriate chemical raw materials as expansion agent, fired at high temperature.

The pores inside the ceramsite are filled with air when there is no water, and when there is enough water, part of the water can be inhaled and part of the gas can still be maintained. When the water around the root system is insufficient, the water in the ceramsite diffuses into the pores between the ceramsite through its surface, which allows the root system to absorb and maintain the air humidity around the root system. We usually put ceramsite on the bottom of the basin or as a shop surface to absorb excess water and prevent rotting roots.

Coarse sand can also be used to raise succulent plants, that is, river sand. Clean river sand can be mixed with peat, which can be used as cheap soil for beginners. The ratio of river sand to peat is 7:3. The proportion is not fixed, flower friends can make their own proportion, how to raise good plants is the key. Why use this medium? Coarse sand is because coarse sand is not hardened, is breathable and heavy, and can be used to adjust the specific gravity of the soil. Almost all the plants are relatively light, so if you grow taller plants, it is necessary to add some coarse sand.

Can sawdust be used to grow succulent plants? As a matter of fact, it can be mixed with garden soil and fermented for half a month. Find a large plastic bag. If there is a hole in the bag, seal the hole with adhesive tape; put the sawdust and soil in the plastic bag evenly, spray them with a spray can, do not need to be too wet, just get wet, squeeze out the air in the bag, and then put it into the mouth of the bag. It doesn't matter to store some air in the bag, which will be consumed during fermentation. This is an environment of anaerobic fermentation. Put the bag in the dark.

Which shop is the best for succulent succulent plants? The paving soil itself should be heavy, such as Maifan stone, red jade soil, river sand, green zeolite, and so on. The reason is very straightforward, because if it is not heavy, the watered surfacing soil will easily be washed up and lose the meaning of the paving. This kind of typical soil is lighter soil such as deer marsh soil and goldstone. Watering is easy to ignore chaos, and may even be blown away by strong winds. Finally, the important thing about the shop floor is that when planting succulent plants, the space for the pavement soil should be reserved, and it is easy to wash away when the shop floor is too high.
