The soil of growing flowers is caked? No hard shovel, no watering, add some looseness and ventilation.

More and more people like to grow flowers, and many people will raise some flowers and plants at home. However, many flower friends say that in the process of growing flowers, they have encountered the hardening of the soil in the flowerpots, and some even say that the soil plates in their flowerpots have formed a large lump, and the plants in the flowerpots are also waxy and weak. So what should we do when it comes to soil consolidation? Or a shovel, a plane? Or should it be watered a lot? In fact, it's all wrong!

In general, after the hardening of the flowerpot soil, the most direct method is to change the soil. Only by replacing the loose and breathable soil, can things take root and grow in the new environment and absorb nutrients; but there is also knowledge in the process of changing the pot and changing the soil, adding a kind of plant material to the soil can effectively avoid the consolidation in the later stage of the soil.

Analysis of the causes of soil consolidation:

Many flower lovers say that the soil where they grow flowers is hardened unconsciously. In fact, the main reasons for soil hardening are as follows:

1. The way and method of watering is incorrect: when watering flowers, it is easy to water in half; that is, when watering the flowerpot, it is not fully watered, and there is no water flowing out from the bottom of the flowerpot. Each watering only soaks the surface of the soil, and when the soil gets drier and drier, it will solidify and become a large piece of hard soil.

two。 Long-term use of inorganic chemical fertilizer: in the process of flower cultivation, fertilization is essential, but the long-term use of inorganic flower fertilizer is easy to cause soil consolidation, so it is best to use organic fermented fertilizer, which is not only nutritious, but also can make the soil loose and breathable.

3. Pure garden soil is selected for flower cultivation: if pure garden soil is used for flower cultivation, coupled with improper watering and fertilization, the soil is bound to appear soil consolidation; so when choosing flower soil, it is best to choose mixed soil, loose and breathable, not easy to consolidate.

The soil of growing flowers is caked? Don't "shovel" or "water":

After soil hardening, first stop watering, because no matter how much water is poured, the water will not all be immersed in the soil, but will make the hardening more and more serious. Do not blindly use a shovel to loosen the soil, the soil consolidation and loosening soil is easy to damage the plant roots, the most direct way is to change the soil. Shovel along the edge of the flowerpot with a flower shovel for a week to loosen the soil, then lift the pot, knock on the wall to get the clod out of the pot, and pour the clod out of the pot.

Pry open the clod with a shovel, detach the roots of the flowers from the soil, and then trim the roots to trim all the rotten and withered roots. Prepare 0.2% potassium permanganate solution, soak the pruned plant roots in the solution for about 15 minutes, sterilize and disinfect!

Prepare the soil for the basin

If there is no soil consolidation in the process of flower cultivation, it is necessary to choose a mixed soil suitable for plant growth. The use of garden soil, sand, humus according to the proportion of 1:1:2 soil, this kind of soil is loose and breathable, not easy to consolidate. However, adding a kind of plant material to the mixed soil can effectively avoid soil consolidation.

This kind of plant material is pine cone humus fermented with pine cones. The humus obtained from mature pine cones fermented not only has large particles, but also contains rosin and turpentine in the soil. It has the function of sterilization and disinfection, and is also rich in nutrients. It can not only avoid soil hardening, but also provide nutrients for plant growth.

In the usual process of flower cultivation, we should not only choose loose and breathable mixed soil, but also water thoroughly when watering to avoid half-cut water, and it is best to choose fully fermented organic fertilizer for fertilization. Soil consolidation can be effectively avoided.
