What is the cultivation substrate of calamus bonsai?

Most of the wild calamus grows near mountains and streams, as long as the water source is good, it can generally grow very lush. Because the plant itself likes to be wet, it often grows at the edge of the water, because its demand for water is very large. Acorus calamus used in pot culture is often called "Acorus calamus", but it is also inseparable from water and can grow on stones in pots with water. So, what is the cultivation substrate of calamus bonsai?

In fact, the cultivation of calamus does not need to provide it with soil, we just need to put a few stones of the right size in the basin, and then inject water with the right depth into the basin. Of course, in order to keep the calamus growing well on the stone, we can pour a layer of cooled rice soup on the stone, sprinkle some calamus seeds and put the bowl in a dark and damp place. As long as there is water in the basin for a long time, it is believed that the slender calamus with slender leaves will grow on the stone soon.

However, although we do not provide soil for Acorus calamus in this process, we generally recommend the use of absorbent stone because there are thousands of fine holes in the stone. After it is placed in a bowl and basin containing water, it will continue to absorb water because of the strong water-absorbing capacity of the water-absorbing stone, until the water is not absorbed on the stone to a certain extent. In this way, the slender roots of Acorus calamus can absorb the water needed for its growth, which provides a strong guarantee for its healthy growth.

Although there is no soil, in order to make it grow better, we usually recommend that you put a layer of fresh moss on the absorbent stone. In this way, it can not only ensure that calamus can maintain a better growth state on the loose, permeable and water-retaining substrate, but also make moss and calamus match and set off each other, so that the whole bonsai can form an undivided whole and enhance its ornamental value as a whole.

For people living in busy cities for a long time, there is every reason to raise a few calamus plants in the study at home, so that the four seasons can bring a bit of green and beauty to the home. Putting a few pots of calamus in the home can not only increase the green, but also make us feel the smell of the mountains and forests, as if the home is a small nature, which can not only edify the master's sentiment, but also be comfortable for the master, why not do it?
