Loosen the soil regularly for succulent plants to make the roots grow full and the leaves fat.

Soil is the food for succulent plants, so flower friends must not be careless. Good soil not only allows succulent plants to absorb more nutrients, but also makes it breathe more smoothly. So when you plant a succulent plant, do you still need to loosen the soil? Uncertain relatives can move on.

For succulent plants, loosening the soil is neither applicable nor necessary, and changing pots is the best way. There are also situations that need to loosen the soil, such as the mud below, but normal people will choose to change the soil. If you want to loosen the soil, loosen the surface, do not let the soil solidify, you can also consider poking with chopsticks to increase air permeability. Loosen the soil time, do not choose in the hot summer, after all, summer is prone to accidents, hurt the root system, it is hard to say what happened.

To loosen the soil for succulent plants, be sure to grasp the right time. The roots of artificially cultivated succulent plants are easily trapped in flowerpots, and over time the roots are full of flowerpots and cannot fully absorb soil nutrients. And the flowerpot soil is also limited, continuous watering and root absorption will make it contain less and less nutrients, and the soil itself will change from the original granular to powdered. You can loosen the soil for your succulent plants every six months and, if necessary, turn over the basin to change the soil.

One of the important requirements of succulent plant soil is ventilation. When succulent plants reach the peak growing season, they can properly turn over the soil on the surface of the plant, and be careful not to hurt the roots during operation. Of course, if you have enough particles in the soil, up to 60 or 70%, it is OK not to loosen the soil. the normal succulent soil is very difficult to harden, and planting for a long time will reduce the air permeability, but it is not caused by the soil, but by all kinds of entangled roots.

Why does the soil of succulent plants harden? When we apply too much nitrogen fertilizer to the soil, the nitrogen supply of microorganisms increases by one part, and the corresponding carbon consumption increases by 25 portions. The carbon consumed comes from soil organic matter, and the content of organic matter is low, which affects the activity of microorganisms. Thus, it affects the formation of soil aggregate structure and leads to soil consolidation. When excessive potassium fertilizer is applied to the soil, the potassium ion in the potash fertilizer is particularly strong, which can replace the multivalent cations that form the soil aggregate structure, but the univalent potassium ion does not have the bond bridge function, and the bond bridge of the soil aggregate structure is destroyed. it also destroys the aggregate structure, resulting in soil consolidation.

You can put a plastic bucket in the home to collect the usually white melon seed shell, peanut shell, walnut shell, chestnut shell, egg shell, traditional Chinese medicine residue, rotten vegetable stems and leaves, etc., and the soil can be used to grow flowers after fermentation. This mix ratio is not easy to solidify after the soil structure is changed, and has the effect of long-term fertilizer supply.
