Growing flowers should not be used as the old pots and soil after changing pots.

When cultivating plants, many people will encounter the situation of changing soil and pots for potted plants, but there has been no systematic tutorial on how to deal with the old pots and soil. In the past, we used to reuse directly with other potted plants or throw them away, but we have to say that both methods are very undesirable. The former has certain risks, which may lead to patients with new plants, while the latter is a manifestation of extravagance and waste, so how to deal with and use the old pots and soil? don't worry to teach you today!

Before we learn, we need to understand a question: "can the old soil be reused after all?" Actually, it can, but compared with the new soil brought directly, it needs to go through several small steps to regain its vitality. First of all, in the face of the old soil, we need to use the power of the sun. The solidified soil is completely crushed and spread out and exposed to the sun. The reason for this is that there may be a large number of bacteria or eggs in the old basin soil, which must be completely removed by the germicidal power of sunlight.

The process of drying the soil lasts about three days, in which we need to turn the soil once to get as much sunlight as possible and get rid of the debris thoroughly. Considering the degree of trouble of constantly turning, we can take the way of padding an old newspaper here. After drying, the old soil will look less in quantity and become very barren. At this time, it is best not to use it directly as flower soil, but to prepare the same amount of garden soil, plus some bone meal, animal feces, rotten leaves, etc., and put it in a plastic bag to ferment in a cool place.

After about a month of fermentation, when all kinds of nutrients in the soil have been fully absorbed, the soil can be used to grow flowers again, of course, if you have plants that you plan to grow, then in the process of fermentation, you can add some trace elements needed for the growth of the target plant to the soil, and try your best to transform the old soil into something suitable for the growth of new plants.

After talking about the old soil, let's talk about the old flowerpot that has been replaced. What is slightly different from the transformation of the old soil is that our old flowerpots had better be washed with water first to clean up the fine soil scraps. It can then be exposed to the sun until the water stains are dried. Generally speaking, it is more reused than flower soil, so if you are worried about what bacteria or eggs will be left in the flowerpot, it is necessary to disinfect it with pesticides in addition to cleaning and exposure. In short, everything is for the health of the plant, we still have to spend this thought.
