It is too easy to grow flowers with these seven kinds of particles and never rot again.

The most common problem of growing flowers is how much to water, and what most flower lovers are most likely to do is not to die, but to cause rotting roots caused by stagnant water. Let's take a look.

Stagnant water and rotten roots

The rotten roots of stagnant water have more to do with watering, and it also has a lot to do with the poor drainage of the basin soil itself. just imagine, if you use more coconut bricks or basin soil with more particles, it is difficult to accumulate water!

Of course, not all flowers are suitable for the use of high-proportion coconut bricks and particles, because most plants still need water and are afraid of drought, so we grow flowers, as long as we mix some particles in the basin soil, or put particles at the bottom of the pot. you don't have to be afraid of stagnant water and rotten roots!

Common easily available particles

-coarse sand-

The most common and easily available particles in life should be coarse sand. It can be found in many places such as rivers, construction sites and wasteland. The construction site should ask, if it is sea sand, it is best not to use it, or it is better to rinse and soak several times before using it.

Coarse sand is generally placed at the bottom of the basin for drainage, laying 3-5 cm thick to facilitate drainage. Coarse sand can also be mixed into the soil and used as culture soil, but the dosage should not be too much.

Succulent plants and cactus plants, afraid of stagnant water rotting roots, like the granular environment, can be dominated by particles, 6 particles, 4 peat soil.

General foliage plants, 5 parts of peat soil, 3 parts of garden soil, 2 parts of coarse sand, mixed with a small amount of organic fertilizer.

The size of the coarse sand used for bottoming is larger, the coarse sand mixed into the basin soil can be medium size, and the pavement can be small and medium-sized.

-homemade particles-

People who have been growing flowers for years know that the bamboo root soil is very fat, but the bamboo roots are intertwined and the roots grow horizontally, so it is easy to break the bamboo roots and stagnate the growth of bamboo. So most bamboo farmers won't let you dig.

Flower friend Jiang Fengliao happens to be able to find bamboo root soil and use bamboo root soil to make self-made particles. This kind of bamboo root soil is submerged under the rotten bamboo leaves all the year round, and a group of troops shovel it down and squeak the oil. just by the feel of the soil that is not greasy and not dry, we know that this soil is the best for growing flowers.

In the bamboo forest, due to the effect of soil and bamboo roots, the soil is relatively dry. Once the soil is dry, there will be fewer worms and fewer bacteria. This can be regarded as one of the great advantages of bamboo root mud. No sieving, no drying, no insecticidal. Just rub with your hands and pick out the fallen leaves, and the soil will already have the conditions for processing.

Different fertilizers can be mixed in small amounts according to the different plants planted.

Stir and add water, shake the basin soil, and naturally turn into particles.

Then dry in the sun, be sure to dry thoroughly and store it in reserve. Mixing it into the basin soil, or directly using it to raise plants, is better than Chiyu soil!

Flower friends can also use examples to make other nutritious soil particles.

-cinder-

In fact, there are quite a lot of places to use briquettes, such as snack stalls and breakfast shops, which are all thrown into the dustbin. So you can ask them for some. Used to pad the bottom of the basin, paving or mixing it into the soil is good.

-charcoal-

Charcoal is loose and breathable, which can avoid rotting roots caused by stagnant water. Charcoal also has a porous structure that can lock in and absorb some fertility and release it slowly, and it can slowly rot into fertilizer.

Whether it is padded to the bottom of the basin or mixed into the soil, the effect is very good, and those with wood resources can also be self-made.

Find an iron paint bucket with a deeper bottom to hold more firewood.

After burning, use the prepared soil cover to extinguish to no smoke, the charcoal fire in the absence of oxygen will all become charcoal, after stirring, it will be a bucket of charcoal soil.

It has a good effect on growing flowers and growing vegetables.

-activated carbon-

Whether it is buying a house or a car, it is now popular to buy some activated charcoal bags to remove flavor and formaldehyde, and many people may throw it away over a long period of time.

There are many household water filters are installed, filters every year to change the filter element, one of which is activated carbon filter element, which is full of activated carbon particles. If you remove it carefully and cut it with an oblique cut, you can get a lot of activated carbon particles.

The composition of activated carbon is similar to that of plant ash, activated carbon has two kinds of powdery and granular activated carbon, these two kinds of activated carbon have a good nutritional conditioning effect, promote root growth, ventilation can also absorb excess nutrients and slowly release. It is a good mixed raw material in flower cultivation, and the soil ratio of different flowers is different. in flower cultivation, particles can be used as the bottom, and powder can be mixed into the basin soil to promote plant growth more exuberantly.

-ceramsite-

Ceramsite is an artificially fired product, its surface is a hard shell, ceramic or enamel, with the function of water and gas preservation. The cushion at the bottom of the basin is a good drainage layer. Now it is very convenient to buy ceramsite online, at the same time, the texture of ceramsite itself is lighter and the price is relatively moderate, so it is a good choice for urban partners. Ceramsite itself is angry, soak in water for several hours before use.

-Gravel-

Gravel is also a kind of gravel that can be easily found, especially where roads are built, and can be easily found on abandoned construction sites, especially those with a little soil, which can be used directly. If it is gravel particles, you can consider using it as a bottom or pavement.

This kind of road bluestone is the most common and the bottom is very good. Places to build roads are everywhere.

-plant husks-

Leftover melon seed shell, peanut shell, pistachio shell, pine nut shell, longan shell and other nut shells are all good materials. Those with salt need to be soaked and desalted in water and dried in the sun. Break these shells and put them at the bottom of the basin, which is not only good for air permeability, but also provides fertilizer.

There are some Camellia oleifera seed shells in the south, which are very good flower-raising materials. Not only strong air permeability, tea seed shell contains more tea saponins, can inhibit bacteria and control pests, the source is also very rich.

Flower friends in places with more pine cones in the north can use pine cones to crush and pad the bottom of the basin, and some flower friends can be used to raise orchids. If there are conditions, you can try it.

Most flowers cannot be watered.

Otherwise, it is easy to rot.

So usually the drainage layer on the basin bottom pad is very important!

Show it to the flower friends who need it.
