Hydrangea planting dry goods (1): soil distribution and fertilizer application

What is the first thing to do to grow a pot of hydrangea?

Answer: mix soil and upper basin

What do you need to add to the soil? What's the specific ratio? How to put on the pot?

After reading the post bar and visiting the forum, there are different opinions.

Are you dizzy? are you confused?

Is it exciting? are you nervous?

Let's talk about the right way of planting today.

Let's get to the point, let's start with the problem of planting soil with hydrangea.

Oh, my God.

Basically, flower friends ask for the soil every day.

It's really exciting.

In fact, soil distribution is not as complicated as you think.

Be good, you just need to remember the principle of soil allocation.

Loose, breathable and fertile

This soil matching principle is universal, not only hydrangea, grass flowers, clematis and other plants are applicable, only need to adjust the soil composition of the material.

I am a lazy qiong ren. I want to grow good plants with the cheapest and simplest materials. As all students familiar with Pengpeng know, Pengpeng recommends flowers with coconut bran perlite, which is simple and rough, and can also be planted well.

Give me a wave of slightly boring practical information.

So can planting hydrangea also be cultivated with pure coconut bran? Coconut bran will be slowly decomposed or the pores will become smaller over time.

I don't know if you have noticed that your household peat or coconut bran grows less and less soil, which has something to do with the configuration of your soil. Coconut bran peat is small and decomposes faster.

For grass flowers, most of them complete the growth process in just a few months, and planting with coconut bran perlite will not have much impact.

But our hydrangea is a woody plant, it will grow for many years (if the black hand will die, forget it), so we need to add some decomposition-resistant materials to plant!

Now we all have a concept of hydrangea matching soil: loose and breathable, good drainage, fertile, containing materials that are resistant to decomposition.

There are many materials with loose ventilation and good drainage, which is better than coconut bran in terms of performance and price, but coconut bran planting woody plants also has its shortcomings, so I suggest adding peat to make up for the deficiency of coconut bran.

The air permeability and drainage of coconut bran mixed peat is not very good, so some porous materials need to be added. At this time, there are two choices: perlite and volcanic rock, both of which have pores to improve the air permeability and drainage capacity of the soil.

Fertile? I don't know how to operate it. Please understand the role of organic fertilizer: slowly release nutrients and improve the soil structure, so as long as the addition of organic fertilizer can make the soil fertile.

As for what kind of fertilizer to use, it makes people bald. There are so many kinds of fertilizer in the market. What on earth should we choose? (choice difficulty crying and fainting in toilet)

I tried all kinds of organic fertilizers and finally found that chicken dung and bone meal were most helpful to the growth of hydrangea.

If you mix these two kinds of organic fertilizer into the picture of planting hydrangea, you can get a fertile soil, isn't it very simple?

There are many materials that are resistant to decomposition.

I like to use coarse coconut bran and loose scales. The diameter of coarse coconut bran is larger than that of fine coconut bran, so it is resistant to decomposition. The cost is high simply by using loose scales, and the two are mixed to save costs.

I do not know if any students have found that something is particularly easy to rot roots, at this time need a little green zeolite! Green zeolite can prevent the rotting roots of plants, so it can be said to be a very worthwhile material to add.

Finally finished nagging the boring theory. Now let's summarize the required materials:

Loose air permeability, good drainage: peat, coconut bran, perlite, volcanic rock

Fertile: chicken dung, bone meal

Resistance to decomposition: coarse coconut bran, pine scale, green zeolite

How should these three materials be matched properly? Pengpeng is in Fujian, and the proportion of soil is about

Peat: coconut bran: perlite: volcanic rock: coarse coconut bran: pine scale: green zeolite: chicken dung: bone powder

= 3:3:2: 0. 5: 3:2: 0. 5.

Due to photography problems, the material ratio shown in the picture is not accurate, please refer to the above.

The proportion I give is based on the climate of Fujian. Flower friends adjust according to their own actual conditions, do not copy!

Appropriately add peat coconut bran or perlite to adjust the proportion, there is a saying, only the most suitable soil, not the most perfect soil.
