Basin soil consolidation is a simple way to restore looseness and rich nutrition.

After growing flowers for a long time, you will realize that potted flowers are prone to caking if they are not replaced for a long time. If caking occurs, watering will be useless at this time, because water will slip away from the cracks and have no effect on plants. Potted soil consolidation will also affect the growth of plant roots.

The occurrence of soil consolidation is related to our long-term use of tap water. Tap water contains more fluorine and chlorine compounds, and long-term accumulation will easily lead to soil caking, and there will be white residues on the soil surface in Shanghai. it will make the soil alkaline and prone to caking.

There is the long-term use of chemical fertilizer fertilization, too much or too thick fertilizer is easy to cause this problem, or we put some unripe raw fertilizer directly into the flowerpot, it is easy to cause pot soil consolidation or damage to plants.

Generally speaking, at the beginning of soil consolidation, when the caking is not serious, we can use a small shovel to loosen the soil. If the soil consolidation is already serious, we can add rotten organic fertilizer and crush it into powder. sprinkle it on the surface of the loose soil, and then pour it thoroughly so that the soil can be improved.

In this way, organic fertilizer will slowly seep into the soil, which can improve the structure of the soil and slowly make the soil loose, of course, this process is relatively slow, and this method is best not to be used frequently to avoid excessive soil fertility.

If you do not want to change the soil every year, this method is more convenient and effective, which is equivalent to replacing the surface soil every year, and then properly adding compost soil or mature organic fertilizer, which can not only improve the soil structure, but also provide some nutrition for flowers.

And the prevention of soil consolidation is more important:

1. Usually, when watering flowers with tap water, it is best to expose them to the sun for a day or so, which can promote the volatilization of chlorine-containing compounds in the water. Fresh tap water contains more bleach and chlorine and other ingredients, often used will make the basin soil hardening, serious will lead to soil salinization.

two。 Usually in the process of growing flowers, we need to pay attention to often loosening the soil, generally after watering, the surface of the basin soil is easy to harden, and it is necessary to loosen the soil in time, which can maintain the permeability of the basin soil and improve the absorption capacity of the root system.

In addition to the above, it is best to change the flowerpot every year or every other year, replace the original pot soil, and put it back into the fresh and fertile basin soil, which is also an effective way to solve the soil consolidation.
