Raising succulent plants and still spending money on soil? Make it yourself and grow just as well.

Because it is always difficult in summer, the granular soil with better permeability and drainage is becoming more and more mainstream, and the proportion is also getting higher and higher. This is only a trend, but everyone will always want to pursue the succulent soil allocation scheme that is most suitable for them. The plan is not given below, but the methodology is given. The allocation of the medium is not only suitable for the characteristics of plant varieties, but also needs to adjust the proportion according to the different cultivation environment and care habits.

Simple soil mixture is two kinds of things that can be seen everywhere, cinder and sand. Among the several factors that affect succulent growth, the biggest variable should be soil. Because in nature, affected by light, temperature, wind and moisture, and sometimes even succulent varieties and flowerpot materials, the medium of soil distribution will be different.

Prepared according to different growth stages, succulent plant soil, 2 garden soil, 1 rotten leaf soil, 4 coarse sand, 1 light material, half rice chaff ash (suitable for the cultivation of common terrestrial species), such as vermiculite, prepared according to different species, terrestrial species with higher drainage and ventilation of soil, underdeveloped root system, coconut bran and so on.

No matter what kind of medium is used to match the soil, the important thing is to follow the permeability. Only the soil is fluffy and not easy to agglomerate, there will be better permeability. Use soil that is already loose, such as humus soil and black charcoal soil; cinder or volcanic stone can be added, and they have many fine holes to enhance the permeability. Artificial addition of relatively fluffy media, such as sawdust and rotten leaves.

We usually have to pay attention to the prevention of insect pests, especially the succulent plants that have not been changed for a long time. The soil is very easy to grow insects. Flower friends can change the soil by the way when changing pots for succulent plants. The soil has been used for a long time, and it is easy to harden after watering and scouring for a long time. Meat friends can remix the soil according to the growth of succulent roots, so that succulent plants can grow in a more suitable environment.

Peat soil has the highest content of organic matter in soil. rotten sawdust and vegetation contain a lot of organic matter in the process of decomposition, as well as organic matter produced by animal and plant corpses and faeces. The most important way to maintain succulent plants is to raise roots, the simplest way is to use sand, coarse sand permeable, rely on the gap between sand permeable, but did not solve the problem of soil gap, so we have to use fine sand, 1-3mm diameter fine sand, to fill the soil gap, so that succulent root growth has a certain resistance in order to strengthen the root.
