What kind of soil is used for potted colored leaf grass?

Colourful leaf grass is a beautiful plant with flowering leaves, which is very suitable for foliage pot cultivation. Colourful leaf grass prefers warmth and light, and when there is enough light, it can make the leaf color more bright and beautiful, and it is also more ornamental. And there are many varieties of colourful leaf grass, the breeding method is simple, and it is widely used.

Potted colored leaf grass has high ornamental value, but it also needs to prepare soil scientifically according to its growth habits. So, what kind of soil is better to plant colored leaf grass in pots? Potted colored leaf grass requires that the soil is fertile and loose, permeable and permeable, which is rich in organic matter, and sandy loam is suitable. In particular, we should pay attention to the permeability of the basin soil to be good enough, even if the basin soil is not fertile at the beginning, it does not matter, it can be topdressing in the later stage.

Based on the above requirements for potted soil, potted coloured leaf grass soil can be mixed with well-nourished pastoral soil and fully mature organic fertilizer, and an appropriate amount of sand can be added to improve the permeability of potted soil. However, in order to prepare a more high-quality culture soil, we can also mix some mature organic fertilizer into the peat soil, and then add some perlite, vermiculite and so on.

However, colourleaf grass is easy to appear quenching phenomenon in the seedling stage, that is to say, it is easy to be attacked by quenching disease, so before using potted soil, it should be disinfected and sterilized in advance. In the growing season, the basin soil should be kept with appropriate humidity. After all, colourleaf grass prefers a moist growth environment, so it is not often short of water during the growing period.

However, do not let the basin soil is often in a relatively wet state, if the soil is too moist because of the poor permeability of the basin soil, colored leaf grass is more prone to overgrowth. When it grows in vain, the stem of colourful leaf grass will grow more slender, so that the plant type appears sparse and not plump, thus reducing the ornamental value. Therefore, the permeability of basin soil should be good enough, especially the drainage capacity should be strong.

However, it should be noted that if it is sowing and raising seedlings, inorganic fertilizer should not be mixed into the cultivation medium, otherwise the seeds may not sprout, or death may occur after emergence. Even for cutting propagation, there are certain requirements for the substrate, generally using clean river sand as the substrate after cutting.

In order to keep the color leaf grass growing well as a potted plant, the editor recommends a new special scheme which is very suitable for planting color leaf grass in the pot, which can use mature Chinese medicine residue and mushroom residue. Then mix some peat, perlite, garden soil and so on as raw materials, according to the appropriate proportion.
